Entropy puzzle in small exploding systems
J. P. Bondorf, I. N. Mishustin, G. Neergaard
We use a simple hard-core gas model to study the dynamics of small exploding systems. The system is initially prepared in a thermalized state in a spherical container and then allo…
Mutual heavy ion dissociation in peripheral collisions at ultrarelativistic energies
I. A. Pshenichnov, J. P. Bondorf, I. N. Mishustin +2
We study mutual dissociation of heavy nuclei in peripheral collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. Earlier this process was proposed for beam luminosity monitoring via simultaneo…
Equilibration and freeze-out in an exploding system
J. P. Bondorf, H. Feldmeier, I. N. Mishustin +1
We use a simple gas model to study non-equilibrium aspects of the multiparticle dynamics relevant to heavy ion collisions. By performing numerical simulations for various initial c…
Thermodynamics of explosions
Gregers Neergaard, Jakob P. Bondorf, Igor N. Mishustin
We present our first attempts to formulate a thermodynamics-like description of explosions. The motivation is partly a fundamental interest in non-equilibrium statistical physics,…
Simultaneous Heavy Ion Dissociation at Ultrarelativistic Energies
I. A. Pshenichnov, J. P. Bondorf, S. Masetti +2
We study the simultaneous dissociation of heavy ultrarelativistic nuclei followed by the forward-backward neutron emission in peripheral collisions at colliders. The main contribut…
Reconstruction of the Proton Source in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
Alberto Polleri, Raffaele Mattiello, Igor Mishustin +1
We describe a direct method to reconstruct the transverse proton source formed in a relativistic heavy ion collision, making use of experimentally measured proton and deuteron spec…
