Electroproduction of charmonia off nuclei
In a recent publication we have calculated elastic charmonium production in ep collisions employing realistic charmonia wave functions and dipole cross sections and have found good agreement with the data in a wide range of s and Q^2. Using the ingredients from those calculations we calculate exclusive electroproduction of charmonia off nuclei. Here new effects become important, (i) color filtering of the c-cbar pair on its trajectory through nuclear matter, (ii) dependence on the finite lifetime of the c-cbar fluctuation (coherence length) and (iii) gluon shadowing in a nucleus compared to the one in a nucleon. Total coherent and incoherent cross sections for C, Cu and Pb as functions of s and Q^2 are presented together with some differential cross sections. The results can be tested with future electron-nucleus colliders or in peripheral collisions of ultrarelativistic heavy ions.

Lepton flavor violating photoleptonic effect
We study lepton flavor violating analogs of the photoelectric effect, with a final μ or T instead of an electron: γe → μ and γe → T. On the basis of the general parametrization of the matrix element of the electromagnetic current we estimate the upper limits for the cross sections and event rates of these processes, imposed by the current experimental bounds on μ → ey and T → eγ decays.

Nucleon structure as a background for determination of fundamental parameters.
We consider deep inelastic (quasi)elastic lepton-nucleon scattering and investigate the possibilities of eliminating or suppressing theoretical uncertainties induced by the nucleon structure in measuring the standard model parameters or in searching for new physics. On the basis of rather general assumptions about nucleon structure we have obtained new relations between cross sections and neutral current parameters which are weakly dependent on the nucleon structure. We also investigate the dependence of the QCD $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ parameter extracted from the data on the unknown large-scale nucleon structure and propose a modification of the conventional QCD predictions in which the dependence on this uncertainty factor is suppressed.

Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of Strongly Coupled Quark‐Gluon Plasma
A strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP) of constituent quasiparticles is studied by a path-integral Monte-Carlo method. This approach is a quantum generalization of the model developed by Gelman, Shuryak and Zahed. It is shown that this method is able to reproduce the QCD lattice equation of state, internal energy, entropy and trace anomaly (© 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

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.

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.

Partial-transparency effects in heavy-ion collisions at energies of the order of 1 GeV/nucleon
Abstract A model of heavy-ion collisions at energies E lab ∼ 1 GeV/nucleon taking into account the effects of incomplete statistical equilibrium in highly-excited nuclear matter is presented. The collision process is considered as the interaction of two flows of nucleons decelerating each other. This process is described within the framework of a relativistic kinetic approach employing the Fokker-Planck approximation. Assuming two-flow nonequilibrium the momentum distribution function is represented as a sum of two maxwellian distributions displaced by the average relative velocity of flows. Equations for time evolution of space-averaged velocities and internal energies of flows are derived. These equations contain a single model parameter, i.e. the effective deceleration length λ d . Using the firestreak model geometry inclusive cross sections of protons and composite particles (d, t) in the reactions Ne + NaF, Ar + KCl and Ar + Pb are calculated at various values of E lab . In contrast to the firestreak model, a complete stopping of colliding tubes in the centre-of-mass frame was not assumed in the present calculation. Composite particle spectra are calculated on the basis of the coalescence model. The theory is thoroughly compared with the experimental data. The approach suggested allows us to reproduce a two-humped structure in the rapidity distributions of the secondary particles. The experimental data analysis leads to the value λ d = 8 fm for E lab = 0.8 GeV/nucleon, which is in good agreement with the estimation based on experimental NN cross sections.

Quantum Color Dynamic Simulations of the Strongly Coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma
A strongly coupled plasma of quark and gluon quasiparticles is studied by combination of Path integral Monte Carlo and quantum Wigner dynamics simulations. This method extends previous classical nonrelativistic simu-lations based on a color Coulomb interaction to the quantum regime. First results for the momentum-momentum autocorrelation function and diffusion constant are presented (© 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
