Quantum simulations of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma
A strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP) of heavy constituent quasi-particles is studied by a path-integral Monte-Carlo method. This approach is a quantum generalization of the classical molecular dynamics by Gelman, Shuryak, and Zahed. It is shown that this method is able to reproduce the QCD lattice equation of state. The results indicate that the QGP reveals liquid-like rather than gaslike properties. Quantum effects turned out to be of prime importance in these simulations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Transverse QCD dynamics near the light cone
Starting from the QCD Hamiltonian in near-light cone coordinates, we study the dynamics of the gluonic zero modes. Euclidean 2+1 dimensional lattice simulations show that the gap at strong coupling vanishes at intermediate coupling. This result opens the possibility to synchronize the continuum limit with the approach to the light cone.

Pion Observables in the Extended NJL Model with Vector and Axial-Vector Mesons☆
Abstract The momentum-space bosonization method of a Nambu and Jona-Lasinio type model with vector and axial-vector mesons is applied to ππ scattering. Unlike the case in earlier published papers, we obtain the ππ scattering amplitude using the linear and nonlinear realizations of chiral symmetry and fully taking into account the momentum dependence of meson vertices. We show the full physical equivalence between these two approaches. The chiral expansion procedure in this model is discussed in detail. Chiral expansions of the quark mass, pion mass and constant f π are obtained. The low-energy ππ phase shifts are compared to the available data. We also study the scalar form factor of the pion.

Radiative tau decay into pion
The possibility of the experimental investigation of the radiative tau decay into pion is discussed including background conditions. The decay width is estimated to be Br(τ→vτπγ)=0.15% (at the minimal registered photon energy 50 MeV). The contribution of the structural component is 10% of the total radiation. The main background is produced by photons from the τ→vτπ−π0 decay. We investigate the angular and energy spectra of the decay products and analyse the background conditions. The kinematic region was found where the structural radiation dominates over background.
