Homogeneous nucleation of quark-gluon plasma, finite size effects and long-lived metastable objects
E. Zabrodin, L. Bravina, H. Stoecker +1
The general formalism of homogeneous nucleation theory is applied to study the hadronization pattern of the ultra-relativistic quark-gluon plasma (QGP) undergoing a first order pha…
Reaction dynamics in Pb+Pb at the CERN/SPS: from partonic degrees of freedom to freeze-out
S. A. Bass, H. Weber, C. Ernst +7
We analyze the reaction dynamics of central Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV/nucleon. First we estimate the energy density pile-up at mid-rapidity and calculate its excitation function:…
Local Thermal and Chemical Equilibration and the Equation of State in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
L. V. Bravina, M. Brandstetter, M. I. Gorenstein +9
Thermodynamical variables and their time evolution are studied for central relativistic heavy ion collisions from 10.7 to 160 AGeV in the microscopic Ultrarelativistic Quantum Mole…
Excitation Function of Energy Density and Partonic Degrees of Freedom in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
H. Weber, C. Ernst, M. Bleicher +5
We estimate the energy density pile-up at mid-rapidity in central Pb+Pb collisions from 2 - 200 GeV/nucleon. The energy density is decomposed into hadronic and partonic contributio…
Statistical prefactor and nucleation rate near and out of the critical point
Larissa V. Bravina, Eugene E. Zabrodin
The nucleation rate derived in the classical theory contains at least one undetermined parameter, which may be expressed in terms of the Langer first-principles theory. But the unc…
Determination of nucleation rates near the critical point
Larissa V. Bravina, Eugene E. Zabrodin
The nucleation rates derived for the condensation from a supersaturated vapor are examined both in the classical theory and in the modern coarse-grained field theory. By virtue of…
