The gluon mean energy loss per unit path length d E/d L = 2.18 ± 0.14 Ge V/fm is extracted by fitting the E866 experimental data for J/ψ production cross section ratios R W（Fe）/Be（x F）. The obtained result indicates that the incoming gluons lose more energy than the incident quarks. By comparing the theoretical results with E866, RHIC, and LHC experimental data, it is found that the nuclear suppression due to the incident gluon（quark） energy loss reduces（increases） with the increase of the kinematic variable x F（or y）. The energy loss effect of incoming gluons plays an important role in the suppression of J/ψ production in a wide energy range from√s = 38.7 Ge V to√s = 5.0 Te V, and the influence of incident quark energy loss can be ignored for high energies（such as at RHIC and LHC energy）.展开更多

At low temperature...Electric and magnetic screenings of the thermal gluons are studied by using the background expansion method in a gluodynamic model with gauge invariant dimension-2 gluon condensate at zero momentum. At low temperature, the electric and magnetic gluons are degenerate. With the increase of temperature, it is found that the electric and magnetic gluons start to split at certain temperature T0. The electric screening mass changes rapidly with temperature when T 〉 T0, and the Polyakov loop expectation value rises sharply around T0 from zero in the vacuum to a value around 0.8 at high temperature. This suggests that the color electric deconfinement phase transition is driven by electric gluons. It is also observed that the magnetic screening mass keeps almost the same as its vacuum value, which manifests that the magnetic gluons remain confined. Both the screening masses and the Polyakov loop results are qualitatively in agreement with the Lattice calculations.展开更多

The baryon number in Ω may have been transported from the incident nuclei and/or produced in the baryon-pair production of Ω with other types of anti-hyperons such as Ξ. To investigate these two scenarios, we propose to measure the correlations between Ω and K and between Ω and anti-hyperons. We use two versions, the default and string-melting, of a multiphase transport(AMPT) model to illustrate the method for measuring the correlation and to demonstrate the general shape of the correlation. We present the Ω-hadron correlations from simulated Au+Au collisions at ■ =7.7 and 14.6 Ge V and discuss the dependence on the collision energy and on the hadronization scheme in these two AMPT versions. These correlations can be used to explore the mechanism of baryon number transport and the effects of baryon number and strangeness conservation on nuclear collisions.展开更多

The proposed theory challenges the traditional view of quarks as point-like entities without internal structure, offering instead a hydrodynamic perspective that aligns with the principles of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). By considering quarks as vortices in a frictionless superfluid vacuum, the model provides new insights into their mass, charge, spin, and interactions. The formalism presented in this work utilizes hydrodynamic principles to model quarks as irrotational circular vortices, calculating key properties such as charge radius, mass, and density. The calculations are grounded in the application of vortex dynamics, including the evaluation of circulation, vorticity, and the balance of forces within the quantum fluid. The resulting quark radius and mass are shown to be consistent with known experimental ranges, providing a strong validation of the vortex-based formalism. The theory also explores the implications of this vortex model on the stability of quarks within protons and neutrons, and how quark-antiquark pairs (mesons) and three-quark structures (baryons) can be understood as interactions between these vortices. Additionally, the model predicts specific quark properties such as charge radius and density, which are consistent with experimental observations and current understandings of subatomic particle physics. Furthermore, this approach elucidates the strong force’s role as an interaction between these vortices, mediated by gluons in the quantum fluid. The proposed model not only aligns with existing experimental data but also paves the way for further exploration into the complex behaviors of quarks and their role in the fundamental structure of matter.展开更多

Very recently it was proposed that glitching pulsars are embedded in bimetric spacetime: their incompressible superfluid cores (SuSu-cores) are embedded in flat spacetime, whereas the ambient compressible and dissipative media are enclosed in Schwarzschild spacetime. In this letter we apply this model to the Crab and Vela pulsars and show that a newly born pulsar initially of and an embryonic SuSu-core of could evolve into a Crab-like pulsar after 1000 years and into a Vela-like pulsar 10,000 years later to finally fade away as an invisible dark energy object after roughly 10 Myr. Based thereon we infer that the Crab and the Vela pulsars should have SuSu-cores of and , respectively. Furthermore, the under- and overshootings phenomena observed to accompany the glitch events of the Vela pulsar are rather a common phenomenon of glitching pulsars that can be well-explained within the framework of bimetric spacetime.展开更多

Accordingly, pulsars are born with embryonic cores that are made of purely incompressible superconducting gluon-quark superfluid (henceforth SuSu-cores). As the ambient medium cools and spins down due to emission of magnetic dipole radiation, the mass and size of SuSu-cores must grow discretely with time, in accordance with the Onsager-Feynmann analysis of superfluidity. Here we argue that the spacetime embedding glitching pulsars is dynamical and of bimetric nature: inside SuSu-cores the spacetime must be flat, whereas the surrounding region, where the matter is compressible and dissipative, the spacetime is Schwarzschild. It is argued here that the topological change of spacetime is derived by the strong nuclear force, whose operating length scales are found to increase with time to reach O (1) cm at the end of the luminous lifetimes of pulsars. The here-presented model is in line with the recent radio- and gravitational wave observations of pulsars and merger of neutron stars.展开更多

Based on this and other recent events, I argue that the universal maximum density hypothesis should be revived. Accordingly, the central densities in the cores of ultra-compact objects must be upper-limited by the critical density number <em>n</em><sub><em>cr</em></sub>, beyond which supranuclear dense matter becomes purely incompressible. Based on the spacetime-matter coupling in GR, it is shown that the topology of spacetime embedding incompressible quantum fluids with <em>n</em>=<em style="white-space:normal;">n</em><sub style="white-space:normal;"><em>cr </em></sub>must be Minkowski flat, which implies that spacetime at the background of ultra-compact objects should be bimetric.展开更多

Accordingly, pulsars are born with embryonic incompressible superconducting gluon-quark superfluid cores (SuSu-matter) that are embedded in Minkowski spacetime, whereas the ambient compressible and dissipative media (CDM) are imbedded in curved spacetime. As pulsars cool down, the equilibrium between both spacetime is altered, thereby triggering the well-observed glitch phenomena.

文摘The energy loss effect of incoming gluons from J/ψ production in p-A（or d-A） collisions is investigated by means of the E866, RHIC and LHC experimental data. The gluon mean energy loss per unit path length d E/d L = 2.18 ± 0.14 Ge V/fm is extracted by fitting the E866 experimental data for J/ψ production cross section ratios R W（Fe）/Be（x F）. The obtained result indicates that the incoming gluons lose more energy than the incident quarks. By comparing the theoretical results with E866, RHIC, and LHC experimental data, it is found that the nuclear suppression due to the incident gluon（quark） energy loss reduces（increases） with the increase of the kinematic variable x F（or y）. The energy loss effect of incoming gluons plays an important role in the suppression of J/ψ production in a wide energy range from√s = 38.7 Ge V to√s = 5.0 Te V, and the influence of incident quark energy loss can be ignored for high energies（such as at RHIC and LHC energy）.

文摘Electric and magnetic screenings of the thermal gluons are studied by using the background expansion method in a gluodynamic model with gauge invariant dimension-2 gluon condensate at zero momentum. At low temperature, the electric and magnetic gluons are degenerate. With the increase of temperature, it is found that the electric and magnetic gluons start to split at certain temperature T0. The electric screening mass changes rapidly with temperature when T 〉 T0, and the Polyakov loop expectation value rises sharply around T0 from zero in the vacuum to a value around 0.8 at high temperature. This suggests that the color electric deconfinement phase transition is driven by electric gluons. It is also observed that the magnetic screening mass keeps almost the same as its vacuum value, which manifests that the magnetic gluons remain confined. Both the screening masses and the Polyakov loop results are qualitatively in agreement with the Lattice calculations.
文摘In nuclear collisions at RHIC energies, an excess of Ω hyperons over ■ is observed, indicating that Ω has a net baryon number despite s and s quarks being produced in pairs. The baryon number in Ω may have been transported from the incident nuclei and/or produced in the baryon-pair production of Ω with other types of anti-hyperons such as Ξ. To investigate these two scenarios, we propose to measure the correlations between Ω and K and between Ω and anti-hyperons. We use two versions, the default and string-melting, of a multiphase transport(AMPT) model to illustrate the method for measuring the correlation and to demonstrate the general shape of the correlation. We present the Ω-hadron correlations from simulated Au+Au collisions at ■ =7.7 and 14.6 Ge V and discuss the dependence on the collision energy and on the hadronization scheme in these two AMPT versions. These correlations can be used to explore the mechanism of baryon number transport and the effects of baryon number and strangeness conservation on nuclear collisions.
文摘This paper introduces a novel theoretical model that reimagines the internal structure of quarks as superfluid vortices formed during the Quark Epoch of the Big Bang. The proposed theory challenges the traditional view of quarks as point-like entities without internal structure, offering instead a hydrodynamic perspective that aligns with the principles of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). By considering quarks as vortices in a frictionless superfluid vacuum, the model provides new insights into their mass, charge, spin, and interactions. The formalism presented in this work utilizes hydrodynamic principles to model quarks as irrotational circular vortices, calculating key properties such as charge radius, mass, and density. The calculations are grounded in the application of vortex dynamics, including the evaluation of circulation, vorticity, and the balance of forces within the quantum fluid. The resulting quark radius and mass are shown to be consistent with known experimental ranges, providing a strong validation of the vortex-based formalism. The theory also explores the implications of this vortex model on the stability of quarks within protons and neutrons, and how quark-antiquark pairs (mesons) and three-quark structures (baryons) can be understood as interactions between these vortices. Additionally, the model predicts specific quark properties such as charge radius and density, which are consistent with experimental observations and current understandings of subatomic particle physics. Furthermore, this approach elucidates the strong force’s role as an interaction between these vortices, mediated by gluons in the quantum fluid. The proposed model not only aligns with existing experimental data but also paves the way for further exploration into the complex behaviors of quarks and their role in the fundamental structure of matter.

文摘Based on the low energy QCD Lagrangian theory and the crossing symmetry relation, strange meson photoproduction and its associated radiative capture on the proton are investigated in the [SUSF（6） × O（3）]sym . × SUc（3） quark mode/of baryon structure with only one same input parameter, the only strong coupling constant aM. Calculations for the cross sections, p-polarization of γ ＋ P → K^＋ ＋ A reaction and the branching ratios for K^- radiative capture of K^- ＋ p → γ ＋ Y with Y = A, ∑^0 are performed. Good agreements to data are obtained and the results show that, compared to traditional phenomenological models, the low energy QCD Lagrangian theory provides a successful, unifled description of the strange meson photo-production and its associated radiative capture.

文摘Effects of Glauber gluons,which cause the elastic scattering process between different jets,are studied in the frame of soft-collinear effective theory.Glauber modes are added into the action before being integrated out,which is helpful in studies on the Glauber couplings of collinear and soft particles.It is proved that the final state interactions cancel out for processes inclusive enough.So are interactions with the light cone coordinates x^(+)and x^(-)greater than those of the hard collision.The eikonalization of Glauber couplings of active particles and absorption of these couplings into soft and collinear Wilson lines are discussed,which is related to the loop level definitions of Glauber gluons here.The active-spectator coherence is proved to be harmless to the inclusive summation of spectator-spectator and spectator-soft Glauber exchanges.Based on this result,spectator-spectator and spectator-soft Glauber exchanges cancel out in the processes considered here.Graphic aspects of the cancellation are also discussed to explain relations between the graphic and operator level cancellation of Glauber gluons.
文摘With the help of a phenomenological approach outlined in the text in some detail, we have dealt here with the description of the plots on rapidity and pseudorapidity spectra of some hadron-secondaries produced in various nucleus-nucleus interactions at high energies. The agreement between the measured data and the attempted fits are, on the whole, modestly satisfactory excepting a very narrow central region in the vicinity of y = η = 0. At last, hints to how the steps suggested in the main body of the text to proceed with the description of the measured data given in the plots could lead finally to a somewhat systematic methodology have also been made.
文摘Our bimetric spacetime model of glitching pulsars is applied to the remnant of GW170817. Accordingly, pulsars are born with embryonic incompressible superconducting gluon-quark superfluid cores (SuSu-matter) that are embedded in Minkowski spacetime, whereas the ambient compressible and dissipative media (CDM) are imbedded in curved spacetime. As pulsars cool down, the equilibrium between both spacetime is altered, thereby triggering the well-observed glitch phenomena. Based thereon and assuming all neutron stars (<em>NSs</em>) to be born with the same initial mass of <img src="Edit_4d2d9e5f-812f-41d7-9422-5cfb3fc10997.bmp" alt="" />, we argue that the remnant of GW170817 should be a relatively faint <em>NS</em> with a massive central core made of SuSu-matter. The effective mass and radius of the remnant are predicted to be <img src="Edit_6702e3a8-abff-41f9-a45b-a2bc1e6c61b0.bmp" alt="" /> and <span style="white-space:nowrap;"><em>R</em><sub><em>rem</em></sub>=10.764 Km</span>, whereas the mass of the enclosed SuSu-core is <img src="Edit_6fe43fca-e33b-45a6-b846-bd7a09d4b8dd.bmp" alt="" />. Here, about 1/2<em>M</em><sub><em>core</em></sub> is an energy enhancement triggered by the phase transition of the gluon-quark-plasma from the microscopic into macroscopic scale. The current compactness of the remnant is <img src="Edit_38ced5f8-6f72-44d8-a3c9-89c2eaf73e0e.bmp" alt="" />, but predicted to increase as the CDM and cools down, rendering the remnant an invisible dark energy object, and therefore to an excellent black hole candidate.

文摘The dynamic evolution of the charm hadron in hot quark matter was studied in the framework of a multiphase transport(AMPT)model.We first reproduced the open charm hadron D0pT spectrum in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV by triggering the c c production in AMPT,and then the elliptic flow of charm hadrons was described with different parton cascade cross sections.Charm hadron azimuthal angular correlations were proposed,and they are affected by the different parton crosssection parameter applied in the model,which can facilitate our understanding of the loss of collision energy of charm quarks in hot quark medium and can stimulate further experimental studies.
