Diazacrown ethers having two carbodithioate groups were synthesized, and their spectrophotometric properties were studied. Diammonium 1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacycrooctadecane-N,N'-bis(carbodithioate) (DA18CC) and ammonium 1,4,10-trioxa-7,13-diazacycropentadecane-N,N'-bis(carbodithioate) (DA15CC) reacted with most heavy-metal ions through their two carbodithioate groups, and also reacted wit...

The cross sections for the production of hadrons in quasi-real photonphoton collisions in proton-proton and heavy ion interactions are compared with the corresponding cross sections for central diffraction and for photonpomeron collisions. The signatures, heavy ions or protons with only slightly changed momenta together with two large rapidity gaps and a cluster of produced hadrons in the centr...

The cross sections for the production of hadrons in quasi real photonphoton collisions in heavy ion interactions are compared with the corresponding cross sections for central diffraction. The signatures, heavy ions with only slightly changed momenta together with two large rapidity gaps and a cluster of produced hadrons in the central region, are nearly identical in both processes. Therefore, ...

We can establish a new picture, the perfect fluid sQGP core and the dissipative hadronic corona, of the space-time evolution of produced matter in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. It is also shown that the picture works well also in the forward rapidity region through an analysis based on a new class of the hydro-kinetic model and that this is a manifestation of rapid increase of entr...

The linear momentum transfer occurring in central heavy ion collisions is studied within the Landau Vlasov model. A sensitivity to the Equation Of State is found for this observable. Assuming the free nucleon-nucleon cross section, a soft compressibility modulus (around 210 MeV) is required to reproduce the large amount of data available for linear momentum transfer. This result stands for loca...

The space and time evolution of initial parton production in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is investigated within the framework of perturbative QCD which includes both initial and final state radiations. Uncertainty principle is used to relate the life time of a radiating parton to its virtuality and momentum. The interaction time of each hard or semihard parton scattering is also take...

[1] We present the first study of Low-Charge-State Heavy Ion (LCSHI) events covering a region from Earth’s bow shock to the L1 point, obtained with the Suprathermal Ion Composition Spectrometer onboard Wind. STICS is capable of distinguishing charge states of suprathermal ions. In 1995–2000 we found a large number of particle events revealing species of magnetospheric origin. LCSHI events tend ...

We devise a test of the chiral magnetic and chiral vortical effects (CME and CVE) in relativistic heavy ion collisions that relies only on the general properties of triangle anomalies. We show that the ratio R(EB) = J(E)/J(B) of charge J(E) and baryon J(B) currents for CME is R(EB)(CME) → ∞ for three light flavors of quarks (N(f) = 3), and R(EB)(CME) = 5 for N(f) = 2, whereas for CVE it is R(EB...

Simple geometrical considerations show that the collision zone in high energy nuclear collisions may be divided into a central part ("core"), with high energy densities, and a peripheral part ("corona"), with smaller energy densities, more like in pp or pA collisions. We present calculations that allow us to separate these two contributions, and which show that the corona contribution is quite ...

The measurement of anisotropic flow in heavy ion collisions gives insight into the equation of state of the matter formed in the collision. Several methods are available for measuring anisotropic flow. However, methods based on two-particle correlations do not reproduce the flow signal if nonflow is present. Methods based on multi-particle correlations do. A new reaction plane estimate is prese...
