Relativistic mean field kinetic approach to hadron plasma and three-fluid dynamics
Abstract Proceeding from the Walecka mean field theory, a system of relativistic kinetic equations has been derived for the description of hadron plasma formation and evolution in nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies. These equations comprise the dynamics of relativistic self-consistent σ and ω fields and, in particular, satisfactorily described ground states of nuclei. The constructed collision integrals are expressed via inclusive hadron-hadron cross sections and allow one to describe inelastic production of new particles in the process of the nucleus-nucleus collision. A method of solving these kinetic equations, based on a model representation of distribution functions, is proposed. An ansatz for the distribution functions is constructed proceeding from the assumption of incomplete stopping of nuclei in the collision process. This ansatz make it possible to reduce the set of kinetic equations to a set of equations of the three-fluid dynamics type for the parameters of the distribution functions.

Partial-transparency effects in high-energy collisions of heavy ions
A model is proposed for heavy-ion collisions at E/sub lab/approx.1 GeV/nucleon for the case of an incomplete statistical equilibrium in the highly excited nuclear matter. This approach can reproduce the characteristic double-humped structure of the experimental rapidity distributions of secondary particles.

Soft modes, resonances, and quantum transport
Effects of the propagation of particles that have a finite lifetime and an according width in their mass spectrum are discussed in the context of transport description. First, the importance of coherence effects (Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect) on the production and absorption of field quanta in nonequilibrium dense matter is considered. It is shown that classical diffusion and Langevin results correspond to a resummation of certain field-theory diagrams formulated in terms of full nonequilibrium Green's functions. General properties of broad resonances in dense and hot systems are discussed in the framework of a self-consistent and conserving Φ-derivable method of Baym by considering the examples of the ρ meson in hadronic matter and the pion in dilute nuclear matter. Further, we address the problem of a transport description that properly takes into account the damping width of the particles. The Φ-derivable method generalized to the real-time contour provides a selfconsistent and conserving kinetic scheme. We derive a generalized expression for the nonequilibrium kinetic entropy flow, which includes corrections from fluctuations and mass-width effects. In special cases, an H theorem is proven. Memory effects in collision terms contribute to the kinetic entropy flow that, in the Fermi liquid case, reproduces the famous bosonic-type T3lnT correction to the specific heat of liquid 3He. For the example of the pion-condensate phase transition in dense nuclear matter, we demonstrate the important role of the width effects within the quantum transport.

Lattice QCD constraints on hybrid and quark stars
A QCD-motivated dynamical-quasiparticle model with parameters adjusted to reproduce the lattice-QCD equation of state is extrapolated from the region of high temperatures and moderate baryonic densities to the domain of high baryonic densities and zero temperature. The resulting equation of state matched with realistic hadronic equations of state predicts a phase transition into the quark phase at higher densities than those reachable in neutron star interiors. This excludes the possibility of the existence of hybrid (hadron-quark) stars. Pure quark stars are possible and have low masses, small radii, and very high central densities. Similar results are obtained for a simple bag model with massive quarks, fitted to reproduce the same lattice results. Self-bound quark matter is also excluded within these models. Uncertainties in the present extrapolation are discussed. Comparison with standard bag models is made.

Equation of state of deconfined matter within a dynamical quasiparticle description
A simple quasiparticle model, motivated by lowest-order perturbative QCD, is proposed. It is applied to interpret the lattice QCD equation of state. A reasonable reproduction of the lattice data is obtained. In contrast to existing quasiparticle models, the present model is formulated in dynamical rather than thermodynamical terms, and is easily applicable to a system with finite baryon density. In particular, the model simulates the confinement property.

The Decay $\tau \to 3 \pi \nu_\tau$ and Characteristics of $A1$ Meson
The phenomenological meson Lagrangian based on the four-quark interactions of the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector types is used for description of the decay τ−→π+π−π−vτ. The structure of the main hadronic vertexa 1 − ρπ is discussed. The expression for the axial hadronic currentJμ(a1→3π) is obtained. The low-energy limit of this current is analysed. Spectral functions for the main channel of the given process are calculated. The fitting of the experimental data leads to the following values of thea1 parameters: 
 
$$\begin{gathered} m_{a_1 } = 1242 \pm 37MeV,\Gamma _{a_1 } = 465_{ - 143}^{ + 228} MeV\left( {DELCO} \right); \hfill \\ \hfill \\ m_{a_1 } = 1260 \pm 14MeV,\Gamma _{a_1 } = 298_{ - 34}^{ + 40} MeV\left( {MARK II} \right); \hfill \\ \hfill \\ m_{a_1 } = 1250 \pm 9MeV,\Gamma _{a_1 } = 488 \pm 32MeV\left( {ARGUS} \right). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$

Lepton-nucleon scattering in the relativistic oscillator model
The scattering of charged leptons by a system of three quarks locked in by a relativistic oscillator potential is considered. The calculations are performed in the rest frame of the target, which allows the derivation of the explicit x and Q/sup 2/ dependences of the nucleon structure functions F/sub 1/(x,Q/sup 2/) and F/sub 2/(x,Q/sup 2/) and the quantity R = sigma/sub L//sigma/sub T/ in the region of moderate Q/sup 2/ values.

Prompt contributions to the dilepton yield in heavy ion collisions

Abstract: The mass spectrum is calculated for those dileptons which are produced in the early phase of a heavy ion collisions via the direct production NN → l+l−X and via the Compton process GN → l+l−X with prompt gluons radiated in preceding NN interactions. Both mechanisms produce a mass spectrum which decreases steeply with invariant mass of the l+l− pair and which is below the CERES data for Pb-Au collisions by about one order of magnitude.
