The Quest for the Quark‐Gluon Plasma From the Perspective of Dynamical Models of Relativistic Heavy‐Ion Collisions

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The physics of heavy‐ion collisions is one of the most exciting and challenging directions of science for the last four decades. On the theoretical side one deals with a non‐abelian field theory, while on the experimental side today's largest accelerators are needed to enable these studies.

A Romantic Genius? The Experience of Knowledge that Shaped Werner Heisenberg's Scientific Persona

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
In 1976, the year that Werner Heisenberg passed away, Armin Hermann published a short biography, titled Werner Heisenberg in Selbstzeugnissen und Bilddokumenten. Since then, historians and biographers have offered their accounts on Heisenberg's life and his contributions to modern physics. Many of these biographies present Heisenberg as a genius.

Radiative Magnetic Reconnection in Astrophysics

, 2015
I review a new rapidly growing area of high-energy plasma astrophysics --- radiative magnetic reconnection, i.e., a reconnection regime where radiation reaction influences reconnection dynamics, energetics, and nonthermal particle acceleration.

General relativity and relativistic astrophysics [PDF]

, 2015
Einstein established the theory of general relativity and the corresponding field equation in 1915 and its vacuum solutions were obtained by Schwarzschild and Kerr for, respectively, static and rotating black holes, in 1916 and 1963, respectively.

Short Wavelength Limit of the Dynamic Matsubara Local Field Correction

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the short wavelength limit of the dynamic Matsubara local field correction G˜q,zl$$ \tilde{G}\left(\mathbf{q},{z}_l\right) $$ of the uniform electron gas based on direct ab initio path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) results over an unprecedented range of wavenumbers, q≲20qF$$ q\lesssim 20{q}_{\mathrm{F}} $$, where qF$$ {q}_{\mathrm{

High-Energy Astrophysics in the 2020s and Beyond [PDF]

, 2019
With each passing decade, we gain new appreciation for the dynamic, connected, and often violent nature of the Universe. This reality necessarily places the study of high-energy processes at the very heart of modern astrophysics.

Partition Functions and Mass Action Constants of Plasmas of Light Elements at Higher Temperatures

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We first analyze the relations between the work of Planck and Klimontovich and show that Klimontovich's kinetic theory of non‐ideal plasmas confirms Planck's partition function for the hydrogen plasma. We discuss and check the Planck‐Brillouin‐Larkin (PBL) expressions for Hydrogen with PIMC calculations and derive new partition functions and ...

Magnetic Reconnection in Extreme Astrophysical Environments

, 2011
Magnetic reconnection is a basic plasma process of dramatic rearrangement of magnetic topology, often leading to a violent release of magnetic energy. It is important in magnetic fusion and in space and solar physics --- areas that have so far provided ...

Electron Density Structure Measurements With Scattered Intense Laser Beam

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Short‐pulse intense lasers have the potential to model extreme astrophysical environments in laboratories. Although there are diagnostics for energetic electrons and ions resulting from laser‐plasma interactions, the diagnostics to measure velocity distribution functions at the interaction region of the laser and plasma are limited.
