Role of polarization studies in heavy ion physics is discussed with emphasis on the search for quark-gluon plasma formation and studies of its dynamical properties.
The conditions for the development of a Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI) for the Quark-gluon Plasma (QGP) flow in a peripheral heavy-ion collision is investigated. The projectile and target side particles are separated by an energetically…
We study the stability of fragments using microscopic binding energy criteria in heavy-ion collisions.
Global polarization of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons in Au+Au collisions at collision energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 4-40 GeV in the midrapidity region and total polarization, i.e. averaged over all rapidities, are studied within the…
In the string melting version of a multiphase transport model, the hadronization algorithm has been improved by favoring parton combinations close in not only coordinate space but also momentum space. Formation probabilities of mesons,…
Central heavy-ion collisions may induce sizeable fluctuations of the topological charge. This effect is expected to distort the dispersion relation for the hadron masses. We construct a general setup for a compact description of this…
Measurements of the net polarization of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have stimulated much interest in how strange quarks might align their spin with the vorticity of the matter created…
Acceleration of polarized protons in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provides a unique tool to study the spin structure of the nucleon. We give a brief overview of the PHENIX program to investigate the unknown gluon and flavor…
We revisit the problem of particlization of a QCD fluid into hadrons and resonances at the end of the fluid dynamical stage in relativistic heavy-ion collisions in a context of fluctuation measurements. The existing methods sample an ideal…
The hadron inclusive spectra in pp collisions at high energies are analyzed within a soft QCD model, namely the quark-gluon string model. In addition to the sea quark distribution in the incoming proton we consider also the unintegrated…
We argue that the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma formed at LHC and RHIC can be considered as a chiral superfluid. The "normal" component of the fluid is the thermalized matter in common sense, while the "superfluid" part consists of…
Ultraperipheral collisions at heavy ion colliders use the strong Coulomb fields surrounding the ions to study photon-photon and photon-hadron processes at high energy. A number of processes of interest are discussed here.
It is proposed to identify a strong electric field created during relativistic collisions of asymmetric nuclei via observation of pseudorapidity and transverse momentum distributions of hadrons with the same mass but opposite charges. The…
We investigate the processes leading to phase-space equilibration of parton distributions in nuclear interactions at collider energies. We derive a set of rate equations describing the chemical equilibration of gluons and quarks including…
The recent data on the polarization of vector meson at LEP show that the vector mesons favor the helicity zero state. We calculate the helicity density matrix of vector meson which contains a polarized fragmenting quark by adding the spin…
We initiate a holographic study of coupling-dependent heavy ion collisions by analysing for the first time the effects of leading-order, inverse coupling constant corrections. In the dual description, this amounts to colliding gravitational…
Sufficiently energetic collisions of heavy ions result in the formation of a droplet of a strongly coupled liquid state of QCD matter known as quark-gluon plasma. By using gauge-gravity duality (holography), a model of a rapidly…
Recent progress of the quantum molecular dynamics model for describing the dynamics of heavy-ion collisions is viewed, in particular the nuclear fragmentation, isospin physics, particle production and in-medium effect, hadron-induced…
The photonuclear production of vector mesons in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions is investigated within the QCD color dipole picture, with particular emphasis on the saturation model. The integrated cross section and the rapidity…
This is a review of numerical applications of classical gluodynamics to heavy ion collisions. We recall some results from calculations of gluon production, discuss their implications for heavy ion phenomenology, and outline a strategy to…
