At asymptotically high energies, thermalization in heavy ion collisions can be described via weak-coupling QCD. We present a complete treatment of how thermalization proceeds, at the parametric weak-coupling level. We show that plasma…

In this article, we study the production of Hydrogen and Helium isotopes in heavy-ion collisions in the incident energy range between 80 and 150 MeV/nucleon. We compare their inclusive multiplicities emitted in the transverse plane of the…

Simulations of the formation of galaxies, as well as ionisation models used to interpret observations of quasar absorption lines, generally either assume ionisation equilibrium or ignore the presence of the extra-galactic background (EGB)…
