Planetary Impacts by Clustered Quark Matter Strangelets
Lance Labun, Jan Rafelski
We propose a model of clustered u-d-s quark matter that leads to stable bulk strange quark matter. We discuss qualitatively consequences of impacts by sub-planetary mass strangelet…
Strangeness and Quark--Gluon Plasma
Jan Rafelski
I review the foundational motivation which led us to the ultra relativistic heavy ion collision research at SPS, RHIC and now LHC: the quantum vacuum structure; the deconfined natu…
Strangeness Production in Au--Au collisions at GeV
Michal Petran, Jean Letessier, Vojtech Petracek +1
We obtain strangeness production as function of centrality in a statistical hadronization model analysis of all experimental hadron production data in Au--Au collisions at $\sqrt{s…
Properties of Gravitationally Bound Dark Compact Ultra Dense Objects
Christopher Dietl, Lance Labun, Johann Rafelski
We consider compact astrophysical objects formed from dark matter fermions of mass 250 GeV to 100 TeV or from massless fermions hidden by vacuum structure of similar energy scale.…
Electron-Positron Plasma Drop Formed by Ultra-Intense Laser Pulses
Inga Kuznetsova, Johann Rafelski
We study the initial properties and positron annihilation within a small electron-positron plasma drop formed by intense laser pulse. Such QED cascade initiated plasma is, in gener…
Proton form-factor dependence of the finite-size correction to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen
J. D. Carroll, A. W. Thomas, J. Rafelski +1
The measurement of the 2P^{F=2}_{3/2} to 2S^{F=1}_{1/2} transition in muonic hydrogen by Pohl et al. and subsequent analysis has led to the conclusion that the rms radius of the pr…
