Proton-proton collisions are considered to find favourable conditions for searching for the transition of a baryon pair state to a hexa-quark confinement state $(3q)+(3q)\rightarrow(6q)_\mathrm{cnf}$. It is admitted that central $pp$…
I discuss how the initial conditions for QGP-production in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at the LHC and RHIC can be computed from perturbative QCD.
We consider multi-type Galton Watson trees, and find the distribution of these trees when conditioning on very general types of recursive events. It turns out that the conditioned tree is again a multi-type Galton Watson tree, possibly with…
The possibility for the occurrence in crystals of a phenomenon, resembling turbulence, is discussed. This phenomenon, called {\it heterophase turbulence}, is manifested by the fluctuational appearance inside a crystalline sample of…
We derive a new method for initial-state collinear showering in Monte-Carlo event generators which is based on the use of unintegrated parton correlation functions. Combined with a previously derived method for final-state showering, the…
We show that the first structures that form in the universe should spontaneously generate magnetic fields. No primordial seed field is required for this "first dynamo". Although the first dynamo starts with kinetic plasma instabilities, we…
We consider linear periodic chains of exciton-polariton condensates formed by pumping polaritons non-resonantly into a linear network. To the leading order, such a sequence of condensates establishes relative phases as to minimize a…
Extended phase-matching conditions for spontaneous parametric down-conversion are examined. By augmenting the conventional phase-matching conditions, they permit the creation of a class of frequency-entangled states that generalizes the…
In this talk an introduction to generalized parton distributions is given. Recent developments are shortly reviewed, including non-perturbative calculations, phenomenological aspects and evaluation of higher order perturbative and power…
We make a case for setting initial conditions for inflation at the Planck epoch in the kinetically dominated regime. For inflationary potentials with a plateau or a hill, i.e. potentials that are bounded from above within a certain region…
Parton cascade models have been surprisingly successful in describing heavy-ion reactions at RHIC energies -- surprising because in spite of their QCD bells and whistles, they essentially embody classical many-particle dynamics. The…
Moons tidally interact with their host planets and stars. A close moon is quickly synchronised by the planet, or becomes captured in a higher spin-orbit resonance. However, the planet requires much more time to significantly alter its…
Exact analytical solutions of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation with the initial condition of an incident cutoff wave are used to investigate the traversal time for tunneling. The probability density starts from a vanishing value…
In our review of the blazar phenomenon, we discuss blazar models, with a focus on the following issues: sub-parsec jets and their environment; energy dissipation and particle acceleration; and radiative processes.
The probability of simultaneous occurence of at least k spanning clusters has been studied by Monte Carlo simulations on the 2D square lattice at the bond percolation threshold Pc=1/2. The calculated probabilities for free boundary…
We report on the development of a new model for the underlying event in hadron-hadron collisions. The model includes parton showers for all interactions, as well as non-trivial flavour, momentum, and colour correlations between interaction…
An expository summary of properties of the poset of Dyck paths ordered by inclusion.
We extend Carleson's interpolation Theorem to sequences of matrices, by giving necessary and sufficient separation conditions for a sequence of matrices to be interpolating.
Nonlinear wave patterns generated by the flow of polariton condensate past an obstacle are studied for quasi-one-dimensional microcavity geometry. It is shown that pumping and nonlinear damping play a crucial role in this process leading to…
We consider a run-and-tumble particle on a half-line with an absorbing target at the origin. The particle has an internal velocity state that switches between two opposite values at Poisson-distributed times. The position of the particle…
