We present the first balance function (BF) measurement of charged hadron pairs $(\pi,K,p)\otimes (\pi,K,p)$ in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}} =$2.76 TeV. The BF measurements are carried out as two-dimensional (2D) differential…

In this study, we analyze the recently proposed charge transfer fluctuations within a finite pseudo-rapidity space. As the charge transfer fluctuation is a measure of the local charge correlation length, it is capable of detecting…
When hot quark gluon plasma expands and cools down after an heavy ion collision, charge conservation leads to non-trivial correlations between the charge densities at different rapidities. If these correlations can be measured, they will…
The role of relativistic corrections in Coulomb scattering of heavy ions at intermediate energy collisions ($E_{lab}\gtrsim 50$ MeV/n) is investigated by numerically solving a full set of coupled equations. We compare two methods, (a) one…
Knowing the charge of the parton initiating a light-quark jet could be extremely useful both for testing aspects of the Standard Model and for characterizing potential beyond-the-Standard-Model signals. We show that despite the…
Global transverse-momentum conservation induces correlations between any number of particles, which contribute in particular to the two- and three-particle correlations measured in heavy-ion collisions. These correlations are examined in…

Disoriented Chiral Condensates (DCC) have been predicted to form in high energy heavy ion collisions where the approximate chiral symmetry of QCD has been restored. This leads to large imbalances in the production of charged to neutral…
A charge-monopole theory is derived from simple and self-evident postulates. Charges and monopoles take an analogous theoretical structure. It is proved that charges interact with free waves emitted from monopoles but not with the…
