RHIC physics: 3 lectures
TLDR
In this article, the authors provide an introduction to the physics issues which are being studied in the RHIC heavy ion program, which center around the production of new states of matter.Abstract:
The purpose of these lectures is to provide an introduction to the physics issues which are being studied in the RHIC heavy ion program. These center around the production of new states of matter. The quark gluon plasma is thermal matter which once existed in the big bang which may be made at RHIC. The color glass condensate is a universal form of matter which controls the high energy limit of strong interactions. Both such forms of matter might be produced and probed at RHIC.read more

Introduction to the physics of the total cross-section at LHC : A Review of Data and Models
TL;DR: Martin and Cheung as mentioned in this paper described the development of the physics of hadronic cross sections up to recent LHC results and cosmic ray experiments and provided a comprehensive review about total cross sections from medium to the highest energies explored experimentally and studied through a variety of methods and theoretical models.

Behavior of single-scale hard small- x processes in QCD near the black disk limit
Boris Blok,Leonid Frankfurt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that at sufficiently small Bjorken x where pQCD amplitudes rapidly increase with energy and violate probability conservation the shadowing effects in the single-scale small x hard QCD processes can be described by an effective quantum field theory of interacting quasiparticles.

Links between astroparticle physics and the LHC
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the synergistic links between astroparticle and LHC physics is presented, focusing on three main areas: accelerator-based particle physics, high energy astrophysics, and the cosmology of the early universe.

B. Blok,L. Frankfurt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the coordinate space dependence of the matrix elements of the commutator of the electromagnetic and gluon currents in the vicinity of the light cone but at large distances was evaluated.

B. Blok,L. Frankfurt +1 more

$J/\psi$ Suppression by Quark-Gluon Plasma Formation
T Matsui,Helmut Satz,Helmut Satz +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature dependence of the screening radius, as obtained from lattice QCD, is compared with the J/ψ radius calculated in charmomium models, and the feasibility to detect this effect clearly in the dilepton mass spectrum is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semihard processes in QCD
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of parton-parton interactions (screenings), that stop the increase of the cross sections near their unitarity limit, and the coherent emission of soft gluons by the global colour charge of whole groups of harder particles, are studied in detail.

Computing quark and gluon distribution functions for very large nuclei.
Larry McLerran,Raju Venugopalan +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the distribution functions for quarks and gluons are computable at small {ital x} for sufficiently large nuclei, perhaps larger than can be physically realized, and that weak coupling methods may be used.

Gluon distribution functions for very large nuclei at small transverse momentum.
Larry McLerran,Raju Venugopalan +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the gluon distribution function for very large nuclei may be computed for small transverse momentum as correlation functions of an ultraviolet finite two-dimensional Euclidean field theory.

Gluon Recombination and Shadowing at Small Values of x
Alfred H. Mueller,Jian-Wei Qiu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a modified Altarelli-Parisi equation expressing this recombination was given, and it was shown that recombination is very small compared to normal evolution in all interesting circumstances except that of nuclear shadowing.
