Model of Centauro and strangelet production in heavy ion collisions

We discuss the phenomenological model of Centauro event production in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. This model makes quantitative predictions for kinematic observables, baryon number and mass of the Centauro fireball and its decay products. Centauros decay mainly to nucleons, strange hyperons and possibly strangelets. Simulations of Centauro events for the CASTOR detector in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energies are performed. The signatures of these events are discussed in detail.

$γ$-Radiation of Excited Nuclear Discrete Levels in Peripheral

A new process of a nuclear excitation to discrete states in peripheral heavy ion collisions is studied. High energy photons are emitted by the exited nuclei with energies up to a few tens GeV at angles of a few hundred microradians with respect to the beam direction. We show that a two stage process where an electron - positron pair is produced by virtual photons emitted by nuclei and the n the electron or positron excites the nucleus, has large cross section. It is equal to about 5 b f or CaCa collisions. On one hand it produces a significant $γ$-rays background in the nuclear f ragmentation region but on the other hand it could be used to monitoring the nuclear beam intensity at LHC. These secondary nuclear photons could be a good signal for triggering peripheral nuclear collisions.

Search for Exotic Mesons in pi- P Interactions at 18 GeV/c

The recent search for non $q \bar{q}$ mesons in $π^{-}p$ interactions at Brookhaven National Laboratory is summarized. Many final states such as $ηπ$, $η' π^{-}$, $a_{0} π$, $f_{1} π$, $a_{2} π$, $b_{1} π$, which are favored decay modes of exotics, are under investigation.
