Evolution of Parton Fragmentation Functions at Finite Temperature

Jonathan A. Osborne, Enke Wang, Xin-Nian Wang

The first order correction to the parton fragmentation functions in a thermal medium is derived in the leading logarithmic approximation in the framework of thermal field theory. T…

New results for hadronic collisions in the framework of the Parton-Based Gribov-Regge Theory

T. Pierog, H. J. Drescher, F. Liu +2

We recently proposed a new approach to high energy nuclear scattering, which treats hadronic collisions in a sophisticated way. Demanding theoretical consistency as a minimal requi…

Scattering amplitudes at finite temperature

M. E. Carrington, Hou Defu, R. Kobes

We present a simple set of rules for obtaining the imaginary part of a self energy diagram at finite temperature in terms of diagrams that correspond to physical scattering amplitu…

A Novel Mechanism of H^0 Di-baryon Production in Proton-Proton Interactions from Parton Based Gribov-Regge Theory

M. Bleicher, F. M. Liu, J. Aichelin +4

A novel mechanism of H^0 and strangelet production in hadronic interactions within the Gribov-Regge approach is presented. In contrast to traditional distillation approaches, here…

Inclusive Distributions for Hadronic Collisions in the Valon-Recombination Model

Rudolph C. Hwa, C. B. Yang

Inclusive distributions of soft production of mesons in hadronic collisions are calculated in the valon-recombination model. The new determination of the valon distributions from h…

A comparison of different methods in the study of dynamical fluctuations in high energy e+e- collisions

Chen Gang, Liu Lianshou

Different methods in the study of anomalous scaling of factorial moments in high energy e+e- collisions are examined in some detail. It is shown that the horizontal and vertical fa…

A Monte Carlo Study on the Dynamical Fluctuations Inside Quark and Antiquark Jets

Zhang Kunshi, Chen Gang, Liu Lianshou

The dynamical fluctuations inside the quark and antiquark jets are studied using Monte Carlo method. Quark and antiquark jets are identified from the 2-jet events in e+e- collision…

Kinetic-theory approach to Gluon Self-energy beyond Hard Thermal Loops

Zheng Xiaoping, Li Jiarong

We compare the effective dynamics of soft fields, based on temperature field theory, with the mean field dynamics from non-Abelian kinetic theory. We derive the polarization tensor…

Parton Distributions in the Valon Model

Rudolph C. Hwa, C. B. Yang

The parton distribution functions determined by CTEQ at low are used as inputs to test the validity of the valon model. The valon distributions in a nucleon are first found t…

Jet Tomography of Hot and Cold Nuclear Matter

Enke Wang, Xin-Nian Wang

Medium modification of parton fragmentation functions induced by multiple scattering and gluon bremsstrahlung is shown to describe the recent HERMES data in deeply inelastic scatte…

Constraints on Models for Proton-Proton Scattering from Multi-strange Baryon Data

F. M. Liu, J. Aichelin, M. Bleicher +4

The recent data on pp collisions at 158 GeV provide severe constraints on string models: These measurements allow for the first time to determine how color strings are formed in ul…
