Squeezed Fermions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Colliders

Large back-to-back correlations of observable fermion -- anti-fermion pairs are predicted to appear, if the mass of the fermions is modified in a thermalized medium. The back-to-back correlations of protons and anti-protons are experimentally observable in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, similarly to the Andreev reflection of electrons off the boundary of a superconductor. While quantum statistics suppresses the probability of observing pairs of fermions with nearby momenta, the fermionic back-to-back correlations are positive and of similar strength to bosonic back-to-back correlations.

Hyperon ratios at RHIC and the coalescence predictions at mid-rapidity

Quark coalescence predictions for various multi-strange baryon to anti-baryon ratios for central Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies are compared to preliminary data of the STAR collaboration. The formation of Quark Matter and the sudden recombination of its constituent quarks into hadrons is found to be in agreement with these preliminary data. It seems that strange hadron and antihadron production in Au+Au collisions at RHIC is similar to that in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS.

Coulomb and core/halo corrections to Bose-Einstein n-particle correlations

We report on a systematic treatment of Coulomb corrections for 3- and n-particle (Bose-Einstein) correlations, leading to a removal of a 100 % systematic error from earlier Coulomb corrections of 5-particle Bose-Einstein correlations in heavy ion collisions. These results are generalized to include strong final state interactions and core-halo effects.

Buckyballs of QCD: gluon junction networks

We propose that femto scale QCD analogs of Fullerene type excitations may exist with ``magic numbers'' 8,24,48, and 120. These ``J-balls'' are the most symmetrical closed networks of gluonic baryon junctions and anti-junctions with zero net baryon number. CP odd J-Moebii and other femto-tubes and tori gluonic structures may also exist. We estimate the relative binding energies and discuss possible experimental signatures of the formation of these new topological gluonic states.

Simple solutions of fireball hydrodynamics for self-similar elliptic flows

Simple, self-similar, elliptic solutions of non-relativistic fireball hydrodynamics are presented, generalizing earlier results for spherically symmetric fireballs with Hubble flows and homogeneous temperature profiles. The transition from one dimensional to three dimensional expansions is investigated in an efficient manner.

New form of matter at CERN SPS: Quark Matter but not Quark Gluon Plasma

I argue that a new form of matter is indeed seen in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS. However, this Quark Matter (QM) is different from the theoretically predicted Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) because its effective degrees of freedom seem to be the massive (dressed) constituent quarks instead of almost massless quarks and gluons. The equation of state of QM is hard,the time of its rehadronization is short, while the equation of state of a QGP is soft and the time of its rehadronization is long. Other similarities and differences are also summarized.

Particle interferometry, binary sources and oscillations in two-particle correlations

The basics and the formalism of Bose-Einstein correlations is briefly reviewed. The invariant Buda-Lund form is summarized. Tools are presented that can be utilized in a model-independent search for non-Gaussian structuctures in the two-particle Bose-Einstein correlation functions. The binary source formalism of particle interferometry is presented and related to oscillations in the two-particle Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac correlation functions. The frequency of the observed oscillations in the NA49 two-proton correlation function in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS energies is explained with the help of the reconstructed space-time picture of particle production and the binary nature of the proton source in this reaction.

Model independent shape analysis of correlations in 1, 2 or 3 dimensions

A generic, model-independent method for the analysis of the two-particle short-range correlations is presented, that can be utilized to describe e.g. Bose-Einstein (HBT or GGLP), statistical, dynamical or other short-range correlation functions. The method is based on a data-motivated choice for the zero-th order approximation for the shape of the correlation function, and on a systematic determination of the correction terms with the help of complete orthonormal set of functions. The Edgeworth expansion is obtained for approximately Gaussian, the Laguerre expansion for approximately exponential correlation functions. Multi-dimensional expansions are also introduced and discussed.

Simple predictions from ALCOR_c for rehadronisation of charmed quark matter

We study the production of charmed hadrons with the help of ALCOR_c, the algebraic coalescence model for rehadronisation of charmed quark matter. Mesonic ratios are introduced as factors connecting various antibaryon to baryon ratios. The resulting simple relations could serve as tests of quark matter formation and coalescence type rehadronization in heavy ion collisions.

Coulomb wave function corrections for n-particle Bose-Einstein correlations

The effect of multi-particle Coulomb final state interactions on higher-order intensity correlations is determined in general, based on a scattering wave function which is solution of the n-body Coulomb Schrödinger equation in (a large part of) the asymptotic region of n-body configuration space. In particular, we study Coulomb effects on the n-particle Bose-Einstein correlation functions of similarly charged particles and remove a systematic error as big as 100% from higher-order multi-particle Bose-Einstein correlation functions.

Quark liberation and coalescence at CERN SPS

The mischievous linear coalescence approach to hadronization of quark matter is shown to violate strangeness conservation in strong interactions. The simplest correct quark counting is shown to coincide with the non-linear algebraic coalescence rehadronization model, ALCOR. The non-linearity of the ALCOR model is shown to cancel from its simple predictions for the relative yields of (multi-)strange baryons. We prove, model independently, that quark degrees of freedom are liberated before hadron formation in 158 AGeV central Pb + Pb collisions at CERN SPS.

Back-to-Back Correlations for Bosons Modified by Medium

Novel back-to-back correlations are shown to arise for thermal ensembles of squeezed bosonic states associated with medium-modified mass-shifts. The strength of these correlations could become unexpectedly large in heavy ion collisions.

Coherent states of the creation operator from fully developed Bose-Einstein condensates

A fully developed Bose-Einstein condensate, containing macroscopically large number of bosons can under certain conditions be considered as a generalized vacuum state. Applying the annihilation operator to the condensate, hole states can be defined. Infinite ladders of such hole states can be considered as generalized coherent states of the creation operator. Dedicated to the memory of V. N. Gribov.

Correlations for Mass-Shifted Bosons

We discuss a new kind of correlation, the correlation of particle-antiparticle pairs emitted back-to-back in the local rest frame of a medium, if medium effects cause mass modification of the quanta. The theory of these new correlations is summarized for relativistically expanding, locally thermalized sources.
