Novel Nuclear and Heavy Quark Phenomena in &cd*
نویسنده
چکیده
A central focus of QCD studies is the non-perturbative structure of hadron wavefunctions, not only bound-state valence quark distributions, but also the intrinsic gluon and heavy quark distributions associated with higher Fock states. In this talk I discuss how the production of heavy quark systems and the use of nuclear targets can help to identify and separate the various components of hadron wavefunctions. Invited talk presented at the QCD Workshop, Montpellier, France, July 8-13, 1990 * Work supported by the Department of Energy, contract DE-AC03-76SF00515.

Modeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملTesting Quantum Chromodynamics*
The difficulties in isolating specific QCD mechanisms which control hadronic phenomena, and the complications in obtaining quantitative tests of QCD are discussed. A number of novel QCD effects are reviewed, including heavy quark and higher twist phenomena, initial and final state interactions, direct processesI multiparticle collisions, color filtering, and nuclear target effects. The importan...
متن کاملHeavy-quark Physics in Quantum Chromodynamics’
Heavy quarks can expose new symmetries and novel phenomena in QCD not apparent in ordinary hadronic systems. In these lectures I discuss the use of effective-Lagrangian and light-cone Fock methods to analyze exclusive heavy hadron decays such as Y + pp and B + XT, and also to derive effective SchrGdinger and Dirac equations for heavy quark systems. Two contributions to the heavy quark structure...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF QUARK POLARIZATION IN HEAVY QUARK FRAGMENTATION
We calculate the exact fragmentation functions for c and b quark fragmentation taking into account the spin orientation of the initial heavy quark in the form of analytical and rather simple expressions. Our calculations show that spin orientation may have an important effect on the fragmentation spectrum. This effect is more striking in the cases of c ?D, D*; c? ? , ? , and ?B , B *.
متن کاملHeavy Quark Chemical Potential as Probe of the Phase Diagram of Nuclear Matter
We study the temperature dependence of the strange and charm quark chemical potentials in the phase diagram of nuclear matter, within a modified and generalized hadron gas model, in order to consider phase transitions and to describe phenomena taking place outside the hadronic phase. We employ, in a phenomenological way, the Polyakov loop and scalar quark condensate order parameters, mass/tempe...
