An alomina-based nano adsorbent was prepared by modification of the external surface of γ-alumina (γ-Al2O3) nanoparticles with functional groups of a new Schiff base 4-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylidene)-amino]-5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-[1,2.4]triazole-3-thione] “L”. In order to the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions, we used the reaction of the sodium dodecyl sulfate coated nano-alumina with L...

Radiobiological researches with heavy ions have been started at ITEP in 2006 on unique heavy ion accelerating facility ITEP-TWAC. The main purpose of these researches is study of the biological efficiency of carbon ions for different types of biological objects, such as tumor and normal cells, in the framework of the development of heavy ion therapy for cancer treatment in Russia. Another possi...

[1] The kinetic properties of heavy ions in the solar wind reflect the plasma processes governing the solar wind in the heliosphere. We use Ulysses-SWICS data that resolve heavy ions in a wide range of mass-per-charge values, 2 m/q 9.33, to investigate the heavy ions and their dynamic evolution throughout the heliosphere. While at 1 AU the imprint of Coulomb collisions is known to be present in...

We review recent work on understanding the next to leading order corrections to the classical fields that dominate the initial stages of a heavy ion collision. We have recently shown that the leading In divergences of these corrections to gluon multiplicities can be factorized into the .JIMWLK evolution of color charge density distributions.

The field of relativistic heavy ion physics has seen significant advancement in the new millennium toward a greater understanding of QCD at high temperatures with the commissioning and operation of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) starting in 2000. Here we review progress in the field as presented in a set of lectures at the Lake Louise Winter Institute on Fundamental Interactions in ...

Identifying hadronic molecular states and/or hadrons with multiquark components either with or without exotic quantum numbers is a long-standing challenge in hadronic physics. We suggest that studying the production of these hadrons in relativistic heavy ion collisions offers a promising resolution to this problem as yields of exotic hadrons are expected to be strongly affected by their structu...

Light antinuclei may be formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions via final state coa-lescence of antinucleons. The yields of antinuclei are sensitive to primordial antinucleon production, the volume of the system at kinetic freeze-out, and space-momentum correlations among antinucleons at freeze-out. We report here preliminary STAR results on ¯ d and 3 He production in 130A GeV Au+Au collisi...
