Color fluctuations in hadron-hadron collisions are responsible for the presence of inelastic diffraction and lead to distinctive differences between the Gribov picture of high energy scattering and the low energy Glauber picture. We find…
The ATLAS experiment at the LHC has measured the centrality dependence of charged particle pseudorapidity distribution, charged particle spectra, and the two-particle correlations in p+Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass…
Experimental data on total and differential elastic cross sections for $p+p(\bar{p})$, $n+p(\bar{p})$, $K^\pm+p$, $K^\pm+n$, $\pi^\pm+p$ starting from energy 3.5 GeV in CMS are used to determine parameters of vacuum contribution and…
With the experimental data from STAR, PHENIX and BRAHMS on the centrality and rapidity dependence of the $p_T$ spectrum in Au+Au and d+Au collisions, we show that there exists a scaling distribution which is independent of the colliding…
Dynamics of central collisions of heavy nuclei in the energy range from few tens of MeV/nucleon to a couple of GeV/nucleon is discussed. As the beam energy increases and/or the impact parameter decreases, the maximum compression increases.…

Concepts of wounded nucleon and quark participants have been used for years to parametrize and/or to explain many features of high energy nuclear collisions. Some results illustrating successes and failures of these two approaches are…

The LHC experiments have reported new results with respect to the dynamics of the strong interactions in $pp$, $p$A, and AA collisions over the past years. In proton-proton collisions, the data analyses have focused in exploring the nature…
We have studied U+U collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV using Monte Carlo Glauber, UrQMD and AMPT models. We find that it is possible to separate central tip-tip events as well as central body-body events on the basis of cuts on…
We identify a novel scaling in the transverse momentum spectra of produced particles, obtained by removing the global scales of multiplicity and mean transverse momentum. Hydrodynamic simulations and experimental data reveal an almost…
Fluctuations of the proton number distribution in central Au-Au collisions have been measured by the STAR collaboration in a beam energy scan at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The motivation is a search for evidence of a…

The study of nuclear effects for J/{\psi} production in proton-nucleus collisions is crucial for a correct interpretation of the J/{\psi} suppression patterns experimentally observed in heavy-ion collisions. By means of three representative…
We develop a 1+1 dimensional hydrodynamical model for central heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. Deviations from Bjorken's scaling are taken into account by implementing finite-size profiles for the initial energy density.…
