    Proof of Factorization of Production in Non-Equilibrium QCD at RHIC and LHC in Color Singlet Mechanism

    Gouranga C Nayak🇺🇸

    Recently we have proved the factorization of NRQCD S-wave heavy quarkonium production at all orders in coupling constant. In this paper we extend this to prove the factorization of infrared divergences in production from color singlet pair in non-equilibrium QCD at RHIC and LHC at all orders in coupling constant. This can be relevant to study the quark-gluon plasma at RHIC and LHC.

    Magnetic monopole mass bounds from heavy ion collisions and neutron stars

    Oliver Gould🇬🇧 · Arttu Rajantie🇬🇧

    Magnetic monopoles, if they exist, would be produced amply in strong magnetic fields and high temperatures via the thermal Schwinger process. Such circumstances arise in heavy ion collisions and in neutron stars, both of which imply lower bounds on the mass of possible magnetic monopoles. In showing this, we construct the cross section for pair production of magnetic monopoles in heavy ion collisions, which indicates that they are particularly promising for experimental searches such as MoEDAL.
