Minijet transverse energy production in the next-to-leading order in hadron and nuclear collisions

The transverse energy flow generated by minijets in hadron and nuclear collisions into a given rapidity window in the central region is calculated in the next-to-leading (NLO) order in QCD at RHIC and LHC energies. The NLO transverse energy production in pp collisions cross sections are larger than the LO ones by the factors of K_{RHIC} ~ 1.9 and K_{LHC} ~ 2.1 at RHIC and LHC energies correspondingly. These results were then used to calculate transverse energy spectrum in nuclear collisions in a Glauber geometrical model. We show that accounting for NLO corrections in the elementary pp collisions leads to a substantial broadening of the E_{perp} distribution for the nuclear ones, while its form remains practically unchanged.

Nonperturbative Violation of Factorial Moments Scaling in Dissipative QCD jets

The nonperturbative modification of the evolution equation for QCD generating functional is applied to the analysis of the factorial moments of the intrajet particle distributions in QCD. Nonperturbative preasymptotic correction to the factorial moments scaling (F-scaling) is calculated. The results are compared with the available experimental data. The data show the possible presence of such a nonperturbative effect.

Dilepton Emission from Dense Hadron Gas

Using a Hagedorn resonance gas picture and quark-hadron duality we estimate the dilepton emission rate in the vicinity of the QCD deconfinement phase transition. The result is then used to calculate a dilepton spectrum in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. We show that multibody contributions taken into account in the Hagedorn resonance gas approach provide an enhancement of the production rate of massive dileptons as compared to the previously considered sources.

Minijet and Transverse Energy Production in the BFKL Regime

Minijet production in hadronic and nuclear collisions through a BFKL pomeron ladder is studied for the energies of the future LHC heavy-ion collisions. We use unintegrated gluon densities compatible with the small-$x$ increase of parton distributions observed at HERA. We show that at LHC energies the BFKL minijet and transverse energy production is at most of the same order of magnitude as that in the collinear factorization approach.

Nonperturbative dissipation in QCD jets

The phenomenological energy dissipation in QCD jets evolution with colour coherence is considered and the corresponding modified parton multiplicity and distribution function are computed.

QCD Heat Kernel in Covariant Gauge

We report the calculation of the fourth coefficient in an expansion of the heat kernel of a non-minimal, non-abelian kinetic operator in an arbitrary background gauge in arbitrary space-time dimension. The fourth coefficient is shown to bring a nontrivial gauge dependence due to the contribution of the lowest order off-shell gauge invariant structure.

Dilepton Emission From a Resonance Gas

We consider the dilepton emission from a dense and hot hadron gas near a critical point. The hadron gas is described as a resonance one. The dilepton spectrum generated by vector resonances is shown to be equivalent to the one generated by quarks.

On the Deconfinement Phase Transition in the Resonance Gas

We obtain the constraints on the ruling parameters of the dense hadronic gas model at the critical temperature and propose the quasiuniversal ratios of the thermodynamic quantities. The possible appearence of thermodynamical instability in such a model is discussed.
