Background: The time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory has been successful in describing low-energy heavy ion collisions. Recently, we have shown that multinucleon transfer processes can be reasonably described in the TDHF theory…
Hadron-nucleus collisions at LHC energies are studied by including explicitly semi-hard parton rescatterings in the collision dynamics. Under rather general conditions, we obtain explicit formulae for the semi-hard cross-section and the…
