Interfering QCD/QED Vacuum Polarization
H. -Th. Elze, B. Müller, J. Rafelski
Vacuum polarization mediated by quark loops is susceptible to external electromagnetic fields as well as to the QCD vacuum structure. Employing the stochastic vacuum model, we calc…
QCD-bag mass spectrum and phase transitions
A. Tounsi, J. Letessier, J. Rafelski
We obtain the hadronic mass spectrum in the `bag of bags' statistical bootstrap model (BBSBM), implementing the colorless state condition, aside of baryon and strangeness conservat…
Chemical Nonequilibrium in High Energy Nuclear Collisions
Jean Letessier, Johann Rafelski
Strange particles produced in S-Au/W/Pb 200 A GeV and Pb-Pb 158 A GeV reactions are described invoking final hadronic phase space in thermal equilibrium, but allowing chemical non-…
Quo Vadis Strangeness? Strangeness - Open Questions
Johann Rafelski
The study of strange and also charmed hadronic particle production in nuclear relativistic collisions offers an opportunity to explore the physical properties of the deconfined qua…
Variational Approach to Hydrodynamics - from QGP to General Relativity
H. -Th. Elze, T. Kodama, Y. Hama +2
We derive the special and general relativistic hydrodynamic equations of motion for ideal fluids from a variational principle. Our approach allows to find approximate solutions, wh…
Sonoluminescing Gas Bubbles
I. Scott, H. -Th. Elze, T. Kodama +1
We draw attention to the fact that the popular but unproven hypothesis of shock-driven sonoluminescence is incompatible with the reported synchronicity of the single bubble sonolum…
