Isoscalar E0-E3 strength in Sn-116, Sm-144, Sm-154, and Pb-208
(American Physical Society, 2004)
The giant resonance region from 10 MeV<E-x<55 MeV in Sn-116, Sm-144, Sm-154, and Pb-208 has been studied with inelastic scattering of 240 MeV alpha particles at small angles including 0degrees. Essentially all of the ...
Decoherence and entropy production in relativistic nuclear collisions
(American Physical Society, 2009)
Short thermalization times of less than 1 fm/c for quark and gluon matter have been suggested by recent experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. It has been difficult to justify this rapid thermalization in ...
Asymptotic normalization coefficients from the (20)Ne((3)He, d)(21)Na reaction and astrophysical factor for (20)Ne(p,gamma)(21)Na
(American Physical Society, 2006)
The (20)Ne(p,gamma)(21)Na reaction rate at stellar energies is dominated by capture to the ground state through the tail of a subthreshold resonance state at an excitation energy of 2425 keV in (21)Na. Both resonant and ...
Heavy-quark probes of the quark-gluon plasma and interpretation of recent data taken at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(American Physical Society, 2006)
Thermalization and collective flow of charm (c) and bottom (b) quarks in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions are evaluated based on elastic parton rescattering in an expanding quark-gluon plasma (QGP). We show that ...
Transverse-momentum dependent modification of dynamic texture in central Au+Au collisions at root s(NN)=200 GeV RID B-7517-2009
(American Physical Society, 2005)
Correlations in the hadron distributions produced in relativistic Au+Au collisions are studied in the discrete wavelet expansion method. The analysis is performed in the space of pseudorapidity (vertical bar eta vertical ...
K-*(892)(0) production in relativistic heavy ion collisions at root s(NN)=130 GeV
(American Physical Society, 2002)
We report the first observation of K-*(892)(0)-->piK in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The transverse momentum spectrum of (K-*0+(K) over bar (*0))/2 from central Au+Au collisions at roots(NN)=130 GeV is presented. The ...
First observation of alpha-cluster states in the (14)O+(4)He interaction
(American Physical Society, 2008)
We measured (14)O+(4)He excitation functions for elastic scattering which demonstrate, for the first time, a well developed alpha-cluster structure in the proton rich nucleus, (18)Ne. We present the excitation energies and ...
rho(0) photoproduction in ultraperipheral relativistic heavy ion collisions at root s(NN)=200 GeV
(American Physical Society, 2008)
Photoproduction reactions occur when the electromagnetic field of a relativistic heavy ion interacts with another heavy ion. The STAR Collaboration presents a measurement of rho(0) and direct pi(+)pi(-) photoproduction in ...
D-sJ(2317) meson production in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions RID A-2398-2009
(American Physical Society, 2007)
Production of D-sJ(2317) mesons in relativistic heavy ion collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is studied. Using the quark coalescence model, we first determine the initial number of D-sJ(2317) mesons ...
Model for J/psi absorption in hadronic matter
(American Physical Society, 2000)
The cross sections for J/psi absorption by pi and rho mesons are studied in a meson-exchange model that includes not only pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar-vector-meson couplings but also three-vector-meson and four-point couplings. ...
