How Much do Heavy Quarks Thermalize in a Heavy Ion Collision?

Guy D. Moore, Derek Teaney

We investigate the thermalization of charm quarks in high energy heavy ion collisions. To this end, we calculate the diffusion coefficient in the perturbative Quark Gluon Plasma an…

The Boltzmann Equation in Classical and Quantum Field Theory

Sangyong Jeon

Improving upon the previous treatment by Mueller and Son, we derive the Boltzmann equation that results from a classical scalar field theory. This is obtained by starting from the…

Bd^0(t)->pi^+pi^- and Bs^0(t)-> K^+ K^- Decays: A Tool to Measure New-Physics Parameters

David London, Joaquim Matias, Javier Virto

If physics beyond the standard model is present in B decays, experimental measurements seem to suggest that it principally affects those processes with significant b->s penguin amp…

Transport Coefficients in Hot QCD

Guy D. Moore

I give a physical explanation of what shear viscosity is, and what physics determines its value. Then I explain why determining the shear viscosity of the Quark-Gluon Plasma is int…

Photon production in relativistic nuclear collisions at SPS and RHIC energies

Simon Turbide, Ralf Rapp, Charles Gale

Chiral Lagrangians are used to compute the production rate of photons from the hadronic phase of relativistic nuclear collisions. Special attention is paid to the role of the pseud…

Hadronic interactions of the J/psi and Adler's theorem

A. Bourque, C. Gale, K. L. Haglin

Effective Lagrangian models of charmonium have recently been used to estimate dissociation cross sections with light hadrons. Detailed study of the symmetry properties reveals poss…
