The pion multiplicity per participating nucleon in central nucleus-nucleus collisions at the energies 2-15 A GeV is significantly smaller than in nucleon-nucleon interactions at the same collision energy. This effect of pion suppression is argued to appear due to the evolution of the system produced at the early stage of heavy-ion collisions towards a local thermodynamic equilibrium and further isentropic expansion.
Rapidity distributions of net hyperons (Λ−Λ¯¯¯¯) are compared to distributions of participant protons (p−p¯¯¯). Strangeness production (mean multiplicities of produced Λ/Σ0 hyperons and ⟨K+K¯¯¯¯¯⟩) in central nucleus-nucleus collisions is shown for different collision systems at different energies. An enhanced production of Λ¯¯¯¯ compared to p¯¯¯ is observed at 200 GeV per nucleon.
The phase structure of the scalar field theory with arbitrary powers of the gradient operator and a local non-analytic potential is investigated by the help of the RG in Euclidean space. The RG equation for the generating function of the derivative part of the action is derived. Infinitely many non-trivial fixed points of the RG transformations are found. The corresponding effective actions are unbounded from below and do probably not exhibit any particle content. Therefore they do not provide physically sensible theories.
A new method for the determination of S-matrices of devices in multimoded waveguides and first experimental experiences are presented. The theoretical foundations are given. The scattering matrix of a TESLA copper cavity at a frequency above the cut-off of the second waveguide mode has been measured.
