    Positron production in collision of heavy nuclei

    I.B. Khriplovich🇷🇺 · D.A. Solovyev🇷🇺

    We consider the electromagnetic production of positron in collision of heavy nuclei, with the simultaneously produced electron captured by one of the nuclei. This cross-section exceeds by about four orders of magnitude the cross-section of production.

    Vorticity in Heavy-Ion Collisions

    Wei-Tian Deng · Xu-Guang Huang

    We study the event-by-event generation of flow vorticity in RHIC Au + Au collisions and LHC Pb + Pb collisions by using the HIJING model. Different definitions of the vorticity field and velocity field are considered. A variety of properties of the vorticity are explored, including the impact parameter dependence, the collision energy dependence, the spatial distribution, the event-by-event fluctuation of the magnitude and azimuthal direction, and the time evolution. In addition, the spatial distribution of the flow helicity is also studied.

    Solution of Faddeev integral equations in configuration space using the hyperspherical harmonics expansion method

    V.I.Kovalchuk

    A method has been developed to solve three-particle Faddeev equations in the configuration space making use of a series expansion in hyperspherical harmonics. The following parameters of the bound state of triton and helium-3 nuclei have been calculated: the binding energies, the weights of symmetric and mixed-symmetry components of the wave function, the magnetic moments, and the charge radii.

    Anomalous Hyperfine Structure of the Th Ground-State Doublet in Muonic Atom

    E. V. Tkalya

    The hyperfine splitting of the ground and low-energy eV) levels in the Th nucleus in muonic atom (Th has been calculated considering the distribution of the nuclear magnetization in the framework of collective nuclear model with the wave functions of the Nilsson model for the unpaired neutron. It is shown that (a) the hyperfine splitting of the isomeric state is anomalously weak, and the reduction of hyperfine structure in comparison with the model of a point nuclear magnetic dipole is close to 100\%, (b) partial inversion of levels of the Th ground-state doublet and spontaneous decay of the ground state with excitation of the isomeric state take place, (c) the energy of the isomeric transition lies in the range of 120--140 eV, which makes possible the direct observation of the transition, registration of conversion electrons and measurement of the nuclear matrix element.

    Thermal Conductivity Coefficient from Microscopic Models

    T.E Nemakhavhani🇿🇦 · A. Muronga🇿🇦

    Thermal conductivity of hadron matter is studied using a microscopic transport model, which will be used to simulate ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions at different energy densities, namely the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD). The molecular dynamics simulation is performed for a system of light mesons species (pion, rho, kaon) in a box with periodic boundary conditions. The equilibrium state is investigated by studying chemical equilibrium and thermal equilibrium of the system. Particle multiplicity equilibrates with time, and the energy spectra of different light mesons species have the same slopes and common temperatures when thermal equilibrium is reached. Thermal conductivity transport coefficient is calculated from the heat current - current correlations using the Green-Kubo relations.

    Foundations of Strangeness Nuclear Physics derived from chiral Effective Field Theory

    Ulf-G. Meißner🇩🇪 · Johann Haidenbauer🇩🇪

    Dense compact objects like neutron stars or black holes have always been one of Gerry Brown's favorite research topics. This is closely related to the effects of strangeness in nuclear physics. Here, we review the chiral Effective Field Theory approach to interactions involving nucleons and hyperons, the possible existence of strange dibaryons, the fate of hyperons in nuclear matter and the present status of three-body forces involving hyperons and nucleons.
