Production of negatively charged particles in nucleus-nucleus collisions at 200A GeV
Three isotropic emission fireballs are used to describe the rapidity (or pseudorapidity) and transverse momentum distributions of negatively charged particles produced in nucleusnucleus collisions at high energy. The calculated results are compared and shown to be in agreement with the experimental data of 16OAu, 32SS, and 32SAg collisions at 200A GeV. PACS Nos.: 25.75-q, 24.10Pa

Singly and Doubly Charged Projectile Fragments in Nucleus-Emulsion Collisions at Dubna Energy in the Framework of the Multi-Source Model *
The multiplicity distributions of projectile fragments emitted in interactions of different nuclei with emulsion are studied by using a multi-source model. Our calculated results show that the projectile fragments can be described by the model and each source contributes an exponential distribution. As the weighted sum of the folding result of many exponential distributions, a multi-component Erlang distribution is used to describe the experimental data. The relationship between the height (or width) of the distribution and the mass of the incident projectile, as well as the dependence of projectile fragments on target groups, are investigated too.

Particle production in Au–Au collisions at RHIC energies
Abstract An overlapping cylinder model (OCM) is introduced in this Letter which considers three components: the longitudinal flow, transverse flow and the temperature. A comparison of our model calculations in terms of pseudorapidity distributions with the most recent experiments is presented. To describe the experimental data at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energies ( s NN =130 and 200 GeV), a relative strong longitudinal flow and two partly overlapping cylinders are needed in the model. The difference between the different centrality events is described by the contribution of leading protons. The other parameter values do not depend on the centrality. The calculated results of the overlapping cylinder model are in agreement with the experimental data at the RHIC energies.

ANGULAR DISTRIBUTIONS OF TARGET BLACK FRAGMENTS IN NUCLEUS NUCLEUS COLLISIONS AT HIGH ENERGY
The experimental results of space, azimuthal, and projected angular distributions of target black fragments produced in silicon-emulsion collisions at 4.5A GeV/c (the Dubna energy) are reported. A multi-source ideal gas model is suggested to describe the experimental angular distributions. The Monte Carlo calculated results are in agreement with the experimental data.

Alpha emission in krypton–emulsion collisions at 1.7A GeV
Abstract The multiplicity and transverse momentum distributions of alpha projectile fragments emitted in nucleus–nucleus collisions at high energies are investigated. The results calculated by the two-source model are in agreement with the experimental data of krypton–emulsion collisions at 1.7 A  GeV.

Comparing two-Boltzmann distribution and Tsallis statistics of particle transverse momentums in collisions at LHC energies
The transverse momentum distributions of final-state particles produced in collisions at energies available at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are studied by using the two-Boltzmann distribution and Tsallis statistics. Experimental distributions described by the two-Boltzmann distribution can be described by the Tsallis statistics. The two-temperature emission described by the two-Boltzmann distribution reflects temperature fluctuation of interacting system. The Tsallis statistics can describe the temperature fluctuation and the degree of non-equilibrium. The results calculated by the two-Boltzmann distribution and the Tsallis statistics are in agreement with the experimental data available at the LHC energies. In some cases, the two-Boltzmann distribution degenerates to (single) Boltzmann distribution.

Elliptic flow in a hadron transport model
We present elliptic flow v2 as a function of freeze-out time, transverse momentum for π, K, nucleon, Λ, Ξ and Ω in Au+Au collisions at within two transport approaches (RQMD and UrQMD). The presence of mass ordering and NCQ scaling in the string-hadron model suggests that hadronic interactions do contribute to the observed particle-type dependence of v2 as well.

Transverse Momentum and Pseudorapidity Distributions of Charged Particles and Spatial Shapes of Interacting Events in Pb-Pb Collisions at 2.76 TeV
The transverse momentum and pseudorapidity distributions of charged
particles produced in Pb-Pb collisions with different centrality intervals at center-of-mass
energy per nucleon pair  TeV have been analyzed by using the improved
multisource thermal model in which the whole interacting system and then the sources
are described by the Tsallis statistics. The modelling results are in agreement with experimental data of the ALICE Collaboration. The rapidity distributions of charged particles are obtained according to the extracted parameter values. The shapes of interacting
events (the dispersion plots of charged particles) are given in the momentum, rapidity,
velocity, and coordinate spaces. Meanwhile, the event shapes in different spaces consisted
by different transverse quantities and longitudinal quantities are presented.

Strange Quark Matter and Strangelets in a Strong Magnetic Field
We study the stability properties of magnetized strange quark matter and strangelets under a strong magnetic field in the MIT bag model. The free energy per baryon of strange quark matter feels a great influence from the magnetic held. At the held strength about 1017 G, the magnetized strange quark matter becomes more stable. Considering the finite size effect, the magnetic influence on strangelets becomes complicated. For a given magnetic held, there exists a critical baryon number, below which the magnetized strangelets have lower energy than the non-magnetized strangelets. For the held strength of 5 × 1017 G, the critical baryon number is Ac ~ 100. Generally, the critical baryon number increases with the decreasing external magnetic held. When the held strength is smaller than 1017 G, the critical baryon number goes up to Ac ~ 105. The stable radius, electric charge, and quark flavor fractions of magnetized strangelets are shown.

The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE): Mission Description and Initial On-orbit Performance
The all sky surveys done by the Palomar Observatory Schmidt, the European Southern Observatory Schmidt, and 
the United Kingdom Schmidt, the InfraRed Astronomical Satellite, and the Two Micron All Sky Survey have 
proven to be extremely useful tools for astronomy with value that lasts for decades. The Wide-field Infrared 
Survey Explorer (WISE) is mapping the whole sky following its launch on 2009 December 14. WISE began 
surveying the sky on 2010 January 14 and completed its first full coverage of the sky on July 17. The survey 
will continue to cover the sky a second time until the cryogen is exhausted (anticipated in 2010 November). 
WISE is achieving 5σ point source sensitivities better than 0.08, 0.11, 1, and 6 mJy in unconfused regions on 
the ecliptic in bands centered at wavelengths of 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22μm. Sensitivity improves toward the ecliptic 
poles due to denser coverage and lower zodiacal background. The angular resolution is 6".1, 6".4, 6".5, and 12".0 at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22μm, and the astrometric precision for high signal-to-noise sources is better than 0".15.
