We discuss limiting fragmentation within a few currently popular phenomenological models. We show that popular Glauber-inspired models of particle production in heavy ion collisions, such as the two-component model, generally fail to…
The canonical thermodynamic model has been used frequently to describe the disassembly of hot nuclear matter consisting of neutrons and protons. Such matter is formed in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. Here we extend the method to…

The results from ten statistical multifragmentation models have been compared with each other using selected experimental observables. Even though details in any single observable may differ, the general trends among models are similar.…
I review the status of next-to-leading-order calculations for hadronic final states in deeply-inelastic lepton--nucleon scattering. In more detail, I focus on calculations of (2+1)-jet-type cross sections, describe recent progress in…
This note elaborates the procedures involved in the derivation of breakup densities in nuclear fragmentation. It is stressed that the formalism employed in the analysis served only as a spectral fitting function and does not imply any…
We investigate several fluctuation effects in high-energy hadronic and nuclear collisions through the analysis of different observables. To introduce fluctuations in the initial stage of collisions, we use the Interacting Gluon Model (IGM)…
A model is developed which allows the investigation and classification of the pairing phase transition in atomic nuclei. The regions of the parameter space are discussed for which a pairing phase transition can be observed. The model…
At low to moderate collision energies where the parton formation time $\tau_F$ is not small compared to the nuclear crossing time, the finite nuclear thickness significantly affects the energy density $\epsilon(t)$ and net conserved-charge…
