Gamma rays from Cygnus X-1: Modeling and nonthermal pair production

Description: The gamma-ray bump observed between 0.5 and 2 MeV in the spectrum of Cygnus X-1 can be interpreted as the thermal emissions from a hot (kT)approximately)400 keV) pair-dominated cloud. We argue that the X-rays and gamma rays are produced in separate emission regions, and calculate the photon-photon pair production rate from X-ray and gamma-ray interactions in the vicinity of Cyg X-1 by employing a simplified geometry for the two emitting regions.

Beauty physics at the ultrahigh energies of the ELOISATRON (Euroasiatic Long Intersecting Superconducting Accelerator Synchrotron)

Description: The potential for experimentally studying B physics at the proposed INFN 100 TeV ELOISATRON (Euroasiatic Long Intersecting Superconducting Accelerator Synchrotron) is compared with possibilities at 40 TeV at the Superconducting Super Collider. The effect of the increase in center of mass energy on the production and decay of B mesons has been investigated, particularly with respect to the accummulation of large samples of B hadron decays necessary for the detection of CP violating effects. 13 r… more

Z yields jets+. gamma. as a signal for R-parity violation

Description: Supersymmetric models with explicit R-parity violation can induce new rare decay modes of the Z boson into single supersymmetric particles. Here, the rate and signature for one such decay, Z {yields} {tilde {upsilon}} {gamma}, is examined, where it is found that the rate is at least an order of magnitude smaller than that for the process Z{yields} H{gamma}, even with larger values of the R-parity violating couplings.

Inverse phase transitions: Does baryogenesis lead to dark matter

Description: The phase structure of a field theory can have two qualitatively different forms- the less familiar of which involves high temperature symmetry breaking and low temperature symmetry restoration and is dubbed an inverse phase transition. After a general discussion of such inverse phase transitions we present an application of this phenomenon in which the symmetry under consideration is baryon number. The model has the virtues of generating the observed quark-antiquark asymmetry (with no explicit… more

Antiproton physics in the next decade

Description: Notes from a talk at the LAMPF II workshop are given. Topics include antinucleon physics in the next decade - the role of anti p and anti n beams in shedding light on some fundamental problems in nuclear and particle physics. Some particle aspects considered include; a) anti n as a source of antiquarks (anti NN provides a well-suited entrance channel for formation of new kind of mesons), and b) possibility of forming quark-gluon phase in anti N annihilations in nuclei. Some nuclear aspects disc… more

Some exact results for the two-point function of an integrable quantum field theory

Description: The two point correlation function for the quantum nonlinear Schroedinger (delta-function gas) model is studied. An infinite series representation for this function is derived using the quantum inverse scattering formalism. For the case of zero temperature, the infinite coupling (c ..-->.. infinity) result of Jimbo, Miwa, Mori and Sato is extended to give an exact expression for the order 1/c correction to the two point function in terms of a Painleve transcendent of the fifth kind.

Multiplicity distributions in hadron-hadron collisions based on the universality ansatz

Description: Recent experiments on small-p/sub T/ hadron production in pp collisions have shed new light on the apparent violation of the universality ansatz that the multiplicity dispersion in hadron-hadron collisions is much larger than that in e/sup +/e/sup -/ collisions. We present a model based on the universality ansatz, among other things. This model reproduces qualitatively the hadron multiplicity distributions in pp collisions over a wide range of energies. Within our framework, this essentially re… more

The 17 keV neutrino and neutrino tagging

Description: P-788 at FNAL proposed to search for neutrino oscillations in a tagged neutrino line. A K{sub L} beam and the decay modes K{sub L} {yields} {pi}{mu}{nu}{sub {mu}} and K {sub L} {yields} {pi}e{nu}{sub e} provides the neutrino flux. An upstream tagging spectrometer then identifies the hadron and lepton and reconstructs the K{sub L} decay; the lepton identification will specifies the neutrino as {nu}{sub e} or {nu}{sub {mu}} and distinguishes {nu} from {bar {nu}} at the decay vertex. A neutrino de… more

Possibilities for experiments with deuteron and light-ion beams at 4 < E/sub Beam//A < 10 GeV

Description: This note describes possibilities for experiments with deuterons and light ions at beam energies greater than a few GeV per nucleon. In the low energy region (below a few GeV per nucleon) dominant secondaries created in nuclear collisions are ..delta..'s and pions. The first interesting possibility at higher beam energies is therefore the study of strange particle spectroscopy. The second possibility is related to the creation of high density. In the low energy region the creation of a high den… more

Gluon Bremstrahlung Effects in Large P/sub perpendicular/ Hadron-Hadron Scattering

Description: We consider effects of parton (primarily gluon) bremstrahlung in the initial and final states of high transverse momentum hadron-hadron scattering. Monte Carlo calculations based on conventional QCD parton branching and scattering processes are presented. The calculations are carried only to the parton level in the final state. We apply the model to the Drell-Yan process and to high transverse momentum hadron-hadron scattering triggered with a large aperture calorimeter. We show that the latter… more

The multistring model VENUS for ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions

Description: The event generator VENUS is based on a multistring model for heavy ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. The model is a straightforward extension of a successful model for soft proton-proton scattering, the latter one being consistent with e/sup )plus/)e/sup )minus/) annihilation and deep inelastic lepton scattering. Comparisons of VENUS results with pA and recent AA data alow some statements about intranuclear cascading. 18 refs., 7 figs

Current puzzles and future possibilities

Description: Four current puzzles and several future experimental possibilities in high-energy nuclear collision research are discussed. These puzzles are (1) entropy, (2) hydrodynamic flow, (3) anomalon, and (4) particle emission at backward angles in proton-nucleus collisions. The last one seems not to be directly related to the subject of the present school. But it is, because particle emission into the region far beyond the nucleon-nucleon kinematical limit is an interesting subject common for both prot… more

Inelastic Strong Interactions at High Energies. Annual Progress Report, June 1, 1979-May 1, 1980. [Univ. Of Cincinnati, 6/1/79-5/1/80]

Description: Investigations in the area of Grand Unified Field Theories were begun. Various ways of breaking the SU(5) symmetric theory of Georgi and Glashow were studied. As usual, an approx. 24 of Higgs breaks the symmetry from SU(5) to SU(3)/sub c/xSU(2)xU(1). It was found that an approx. 45 of Higgs is acceptable for breaking the symmetry from SU(3)/sub c/xSU(2)xU(1) to SU(3)/sub c/xU(1)/sub em/. In addition phenomenologically correct quark-lepton mass ratios are obtained by use of renormalization-group… more
