As the partons in a jet propagate through the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in a heavy-ion collision, they lose energy to, kick, and are kicked by the medium. The resulting modifications to the parton shower encode information about the…
Within the three-flavor PNJL and EPNJL chiral quark models we have obtained pseudoscalar meson properties in quark matter at finite temperature $T$ and baryochemical potential $\mu_B$. We compare the meson pole (Breit-Wigner) approximation…
We investigate the two-pion interferometry in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions in the granular source model of quark-gluon plasma droplets. The pion transverse momentum spectra and HBT radii of the granular sources agree well with the…
Momentum correlation functions between $\pi$, $K$ and $p$ are calculated for several heavy-ion collision systems, namely $_{5}^{10}\textrm{B}+_{5}^{10}\textrm{B}$, $_{8}^{16}\textrm{O}+_{8}^{16}\textrm{O}$,…
We propose a simple method to calculate the pion form factor at not very large momentum transfers, which combines the technique of the QCD sum rules with the description of the pion in terms of the set of wave functions of increasing twist.…
We study higher-order QCD corrections for the associated production of a top-antitop quark pair and a photon ($t{\bar t}\gamma$ production) in proton-proton collisions. We calculate the approximate NNLO cross section, with second-order…
We compare results of $k_t$-factorization approach and next-to-leading order collinear-factorization approach for dijet correlations in proton-proton collisions at RHIC energies. We discuss correlations in azimuthal angle as well as…
The complete renormalization of the generating functional for Green functions of quark currents between one--baryon states in three flavor heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory is performed to order q^3. As an example, we study the kaon…
We compile experimental data for the averaged transverse momentum ($\left\langle p_{T}\right\rangle $) of proton, $\Lambda$, $\Xi^{-}$, $\Omega^{-}$ and $\phi$ at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 200, 39, 27, 19.6, 11.5,…
We present preliminary results on two new two-particle correlation analyses of Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 130 GeV$ performed by the STAR collaboration. Two-pion interferometry with respect to the reaction plane shows that the pion…
Bose-Einstein correlations in proton-proton collisions at the LHC are well descried by the formula with two different scales. It is shown for the first time that the pions are produced by few small size sources distributed over a much…
We study pion production in proton-proton collisions within a pQCD-improved parton model in next-to-leading order augmented by intrinsic transverse momentum ($k_\perp$) of the partons. We find the introduction of $k_\perp$ necessary to…
Results for the energy dependence of the elementary kaon production cross sections in proton-proton collisions are reported. Calculations are performed within an extended version of the resonance model which was used for the previous…
We present results from a harmonic decomposition of two-particle azimuthal correlations measured with the STAR detector in Au+Au collisions for energies ranging from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=7.7$ GeV to 200 GeV. The third harmonic $v_3^2\{2\}=\langle…
We discuss correlations in azimuthal angle as well as correlations in two-dimensional space of transverse momenta of two jets as well as photon and jet. Some $k_t$-factorization subprocesses are included for the first time in the…
A summary of current interferometry data in relativistic heavy ions is presented. At sqrt{s}=17GeV a sudden increase in the pion source volume is observed for central PbPb collisions. This seems to imply that the pion phase density has…
In the standard model, for the t --> W b decay mode, the relative phase is 0-degrees between the dominant A(0,-1/2) and A(-1, -1/2) helicity amplitudes. However, in the case of an additional large t_R --> b_L chiral weak-transition moment,…
We calculate skewed parton distributions $H^I$ of a pion within a non-local NJL model with momentum dependent constituent quark mass $M(k)$. In the forward limit $H^I$ correspond to parton distributions, whereas for $t<0$, $H^I$ is related…
We calculate in chiral perturbation theory the double-pion photoproduction processes $\pi^-\gamma \to \pi^- \pi^0\pi^0$ and $\pi^-\gamma\to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^-$ at low energies. At leading order these reactions are governed by the chiral…
We present results from STAR on 3-particle azimuthal correlations for a $3<p_T<4$ GeV/c trigger particle with two softer $1<p_T<2$ GeV/c particles. Results are shown for pp, d+Au and high statistics Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200…
