Rho Meson Broadening in Hot and Dense Hadronic Matter
Song Gao, Charles Gale, Christoph Ernst +2
The modification of the width of rho mesons due to in-medium decays and collisions is evaluated. The decay width is calculated from the imaginary part of the one-loop self-energy a…
Modelling the many-body dynamics of heavy ion collisions: Present status and future perspective
C. Hartnack, Rajeev K. Puri, J. Aichelin +4
Basic problems of the semiclassical microscopic modelling of strongly interactingsystems are discussed within the framework of Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD). This model allows t…
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:…
J/psi suppression in heavy ion collisions - interplay of hard and soft QCD processes
C. Spieles, R. Vogt, L. Gerland +6
We study J/psi suppression in AB collisions assuming that the charmonium states evolve from small, color transparent configurations. Their interaction with nucleons and nonequilibr…
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…
Dissociation rates of J/psi's with comoving mesons - thermal vs. nonequilibrium scenario
C. Spieles, R. Vogt, L. Gerland +4
We study J/psi dissociation processes in hadronic environments. The validity of a thermal meson gas ansatz is tested by confronting it with an alternative, nonequilibrium scenario.…
