Local Multiplicity Fluctuations as a Signature of Critical Hadronization at LHC

Rudolph C. Hwa, C. B. Yang

In central Pb-Pb collisions at LHC the multiplicity of particles produced is so high that it should become feasible to examine the nature of transition from the deconfined quark-gl…

Study of triangular flow in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions with a multiphase transport model

Kai Xiao, Na Li, Shusu Shi +1

We studied the relation between the initial geometry anisotropy and the anisotropic flow in a multiphase transport model (AMPT) for both Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}…

A Hydrodynamic and Transport Model for Ultrarelativistic Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC and LHC Energies

Yu-Liang Yan, Yun Cheng, Dai-Mei Zhou +4

Combining the hydrodynamic model (Hydro code) and the transport model (PACIAE model), we present the Hydro-PACIAE hybrid model. We use the Hydro-PACIAE hybrid model to calculate Au…

Mass Effect in Single Flavor Color Superconductivity

Ping-ping Wu, Defu Hou, Hai-cang Ren

The nonzero strange quark mass effect in different types of single flavor color superconductivity and the phase diagram in a magnetic field are studied. We have obtained simple ana…

Statistical and dynamical fluctuations of Binder ratios in heavy ion collisions

Zhiming Li, Fengbo Xiong, Yuanfang Wu

Higher moments of net-proton Binder ratio, which is suggested to be a good experimental measurement to locate the QCD critical point, is measured in relativistic heavy ion collisio…

Quark Polarization in a Viscous Quark-Gluon Plasma

Xu-Guang Huang, Pasi Huovinen, Xin-Nian Wang

Quarks produced in the early stage of non-central heavy-ion collisions could develop a global spin polarization along the opposite direction of the reaction plane due to the spin-o…

Light anti-nuclei production in pp collisions at =7 and 14 TeV

Yu-Liang Yan, Gang Chen, Xiao-Mei Li +5

A dynamically constrained coalescence model based on the phase space quantization and classical limit method was proposed to investigate the production of light nuclei (anti-nuclei…

Baryon production and net-proton distributions in relativistic heavy ion collisions

C. B. Yang, X. Wang

The higher order moments of the net-baryon distributions in relativistic heavy ion collisions are useful probes for the QCD critical point and fluctuations. We study the net-proton…

PACIAE 2.0: An updated parton and hadron cascade model (program) for the relativistic nuclear collisions

Ben-Hao Sa, Dai-Mei Zhou, Yu-Liang Yan +4

We have updated the parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE for the relativistic nuclear collisions, from based on JETSET 6.4 and PYTHIA 5.7 to based on PYTHIA 6.4, and renamed as P…

Transport Model Studies of the Baryon-Rich Quark-Gluon Plasma formed in Heavy Ion Collisions

Lie-Wen Chen, Che Ming Ko, Wei Liu +1

Heavy ion collisions in the low energy run at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Germany are expected to produce a…

Full jet tomography of high-energy nuclear collisions

Ben-Wei Zhang

Parton energy loss in the hot QCD medium will manifest itself not only in leading hadron spectra but also in reconstructed jet productions in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions…
