Hunting Quantum Gravity with Analogs: the case of High Energy Particle Physics
Paolo Castorina, Alfredo Iorio, Helmut Satz
In this review we collect, for the first time in one paper, old and new results and future perspectives of the research line that uses hadron production, in high-energy scattering…
Universality in High Energy Collisions of small and large systems
P. Castorina, A. Iorio, D. Lanteri +2
Strangeness enhancement and collective flow are considered signatures of the quark gluon plasma formation. These phenomena have been detected not only in relativistic heavy ion col…
Strangeness enhancement and flow-like effects in annihilation at high parton density
P. Castorina, D. Lanteri, H. Satz
Strangeness enhancement and collective flow are considered signatures of the quark gluon plasma formation. These phenomena have been detected not only in relativistic heavy ion col…
Self-Organized Criticality
Helmut Satz
We apply the concept of self-organized criticality in statistical physics to the study of multihadron production in high energy collisions.
Universality in Hadronic and Nuclear Collisions at High Energy
Paolo Castorina, Alfredo Iorio, Daniele Lanteri +2
Recent experimental results in proton-proton and in proton-nucleus collisions at Large Hadron Collider energies show a strong similarity to those observed in nucleus-nucleus collis…
High Energy Hadron Production as Self-Organized Criticality
Paolo Castorina, Helmut Satz
In high energy nuclear collisions, production rates of light nuclei as well as those of hadrons and hadronic resonances agree with the predictions of an ideal gas at a temperature…
Universal Strangeness Production in Hadronic and Nuclear Collisions
P. Castorina, S. Plumari, H. Satz
We show that strangeness suppression in hadronic and nuclear collisions is fully determined by the initial energy density of the collision. The suppression factor , with $\…
Strangeness Production in AA and pp Collisions
P. Castorina, H. Satz
Boost-invariant hadron production in high energy collisions occurs in causally disconnected regions of finite space-time size. As a result, globally conserved quantum numbers (char…
Hawking-Unruh hadronization and strangeness production in high energy collisions
P. Castorina, H. Satz
The interpretation of quark ()- antiquark () pairs production and the sequential string breaking as tunneling through the event horizon of colour confinement leads to a…
The Legacy of Rolf Hagedorn: Statistical Bootstrap and Ultimate Temperature
Krzysztof Redlich, Helmut Satz
In the latter half of the last century, it became evident that there exists an ever increasing number of different states of the so-called elementary particles. The usual reduction…
Quarkonium Binding and Entropic Force
Helmut Satz
A Q-Qbar bound state represents a balance between repulsive kinetic and attractive potential energy. In a hot quark-gluon plasma, the interaction potential experiences medium effec…
Hadron Freeze-Out and Unruh Radiation
Paolo Castorina, Alfredo Iorio, Helmut Satz
We consider hadron production in high energy collisions as an Unruh radiation phenomenon. This mechanism describes the production pattern of newly formed hadrons and is directly ap…
Hawking-Unruh Hadronization and Strangeness Production in High Energy Collisions
P. Castorina, H. Satz
The thermal multihadron production observed in different high energy collisions poses many basic problems: why do even elementary, and hadron-hadron, collisions show therm…
Probing the States of Matter in QCD
Helmut Satz
The ultimate aim of high energy heavy ion collisions is to study quark deconfinement and the quark-gluon plasma predicted by quantum chromodynamics. This requires the identificatio…
Calibrating the In-Medium Behavior of Quarkonia
Helmut Satz
Quarkonium production has been considered as a tool to study the medium formed in high energy nuclear collisions, assuming that the formation of a hot and dense environment modifie…
Charmonium dissociation and heavy quark transport in hot quenched lattice QCD
H. -T. Ding, A. Francis, O. Kaczmarek +3
We study the properties of charmonium states at finite temperature in quenched lattice QCD on large and fine isotropic lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of charmonium correl…
Quark Matter and Nuclear Collisions: A Brief History of Strong Interaction Thermodynamics
Helmut Satz
The past fifty years have seen the emergence of a new field of research in physics, the study of matter at extreme temperatures and densities. The theory of strong interactions, qu…
Charmonium Production and Corona Effect
S. Digal, H. Satz, R. Vogt
We study the centrality dependence to be expected if only charmonium production in the corona survives in high energy nuclear collisions, with full suppression in the hot, deconfin…
Quarkonium production in high energy proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions
Z. Conesa del Valle, G. Corcella, F. Fleuret +13
We present a brief overview of the most relevant current issues related to quarkonium production in high energy proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions along with some perspect…
The Quark-Gluon Plasma
Helmut Satz
A Short Introduction
Trace Anomaly and Quasi-Particles in Finite Temperature SU(N) Gauge Theory
Paolo Castorina, David E. Miller, Helmut Satz
We consider deconfined matter in SU(N) gauge theory as an ideal gas of transversely polarized quasi-particle modes having a temperature-dependent mass m(T). Just above the transiti…
The QCD Phase Structure at High Baryon Density
P. Castorina, R. V. Gavai, H. Satz
We consider the possibility that color deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration do not coincide in dense baryonic matter at low temperature. As a consequence, a state of massi…
Predictions of hadron abundances in pp collisions at the LHC
F. Becattini, P. Castorina, A. Milov +1
Based on the statistical hadronization model, we obtain quantitative predictions for the relative abundances of hadron species in pp collisions at the LHC. By using the parameters…
Hadron Production in Ultra-relativistic Nuclear Collisions: Quarkyonic Matter and a Triple Point in the Phase Diagram of QCD
A. Andronic, D. Blaschke, P. Braun-Munzinger +9
We argue that features of hadron production in relativistic nuclear collisions, mainly at CERN-SPS energies, may be explained by the existence of three forms of matter: Hadronic Ma…
