TL;DR: In this article, the pion dominance of the divergence of the axial vector current was used to calculate the rate for Z decay into π 0γ, which is intimately related to the chiral anomaly.

TL;DR: The aim of the "Quark Matter '88" conference was to study nuclear matter under extreme conditions as mentioned in this paper, where the hope was that conditions reached in present relativistic heavy ion collisions are adequate for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma where colour would no longer be confined to hadronic dimensions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general method for the calculation of beamstrahlung radiation in bunch-bunch collisions in the case of electron-positron linear colliders in the TeV range is presented.
7 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculate the pair production rate by a photon traversing a bunch, focusing here on the contribution proportional to the bunch length, in the deep quantum regime, and show that the probability for pair production is of the same order as that for beamstrahlung.

TL;DR: In this article, the energy loss by electrons and positrons in very high energy e+e− linear colliders is calculated systematically in terms of Feynman diagrams for the case of longitudinally non-uniform bunches.
5 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the production of an electron-positron pair by a photon impinging on a high-density bunch of electrons is calculated in the deep quantum regime, typically found in linear colliders in the multi-TeV range.

TL;DR: Tony Rothman rightfully assigns creativity first place when assessing the talents of a scientist, he repeatedly reminds us that a scientist's second duty is to be as sceptical as possible.
Abstract: 'Thou shalt not believe thine own theories too much' or more succinctly 'Thou shalt not covet thine own hypotheses'. According to Tony Rothman, this is the first commandment of the scientist and one which, he argues, often seems to be trangressed. While he rightfully assigns creativity first place when assessing the talents of a scientist, he repeatedly reminds us that a scientist's second duty is to be as sceptical as possible.

TL;DR: In this paper, the calculation of bremsstrahlung during bunch-bunch collisions in the quantum regime, relevant to electron-positron colliders in the multi-TeV range, is extended to take into account fluctuations in bunch density.
