Narrow Results

Motivated by the success of kinetic theory in the description of observables in intermediate and high energy heavy-ion collisions, we apply kinetic theory to the physics of supernova explosions. The algorithmic implementation for the high-density phase of the iron core collapse is discussed.

Peripheral heavy-ion reactions at ultra relativistic energies have large angular momentum that can be studied via two particle correlations using the Differential Hanbury Brown and Twiss method. In the present work, we analyze the possibilities and sensitivity of the method in rotating, few source systems. Analytic results provide insight in the advantages of this method.

We study a semianalytic exact solution of the fluid dynamical model of heavy ion reactions and evaluate some observable signs of the rotation.
