Nucleus-Nucleus Effects in Fully Differential Cross Sections for Energetic C6++He Collisions with Small Momentum Transfer

The modified Coulomb-Born approximation with and without the internuclear interaction （MCB-NN and MCB） is used to calculate the fully differential cross sections （FDCS） for the single ionization of helium by lOO MeV/amu C6＋ impact. The effects of the internuclear interaction on the FDCS are examined in geometries. The results are compared with experimental data and theoretical predictions from a three-body distorted-wave （3DW） model and a time-dependent close-coupling model. It is shown that the present MCB-NN results are in good agreement with the experiments in the scattering plane and the MCB results qualitatively reproduce the experimental structure outside the scattering plane. In particular, the MCB theory predicts the ＇double-peak＇ structure in the perpendicular plane.

Ar^+/Ar, O_2^+/O_2 and N_2^+/N_2 Elastic Momentum Collision Cross Sections: Calculation and Validation Using the Semi-Classical Model

The aim of this paper is to obtain relevant sets of collision cross sections of the parent ions in low pressure discharges in argon, oxygen, and nitrogen, i.e., Ar＋ in Ar, O2＋ in O2 and N2＋ in N2. These ion data are first discussed and then validated from comparisons between the calculated transport coefficients and those measured in the literature. The elastic momentum transfer collision cross sections are determined from a semi-classical approximation for the phase shift calculation based on a 12-6-4 inter-particle potential while ion transport coefficients are determined versus the reduced electric field from Monte Carlo simulations.

On thermodynamic self-consistency of generic axiomatic-nonextensive statistics

Generic axiomatic-nonextensive statistics introduces two asymptotic properties,to each of which a scaling function is assigned.The first and second scaling properties are characterized by the exponents c and d,respectively.In the thermodynamic limit,a grand-canonical ensemble can be formulated.The thermodynamic properties of a relativistic ideal gas of hadron resonances are studied,analytically.It is found that this generic statistics satisfies the requirements of the equilibrium thermodynamics.Essential aspects of the thermodynamic self-consistency are clarified.Analytical expressions are proposed for the statistical fits of various transverse momentum distributions measured in most-central collisions at different collision energies and colliding systems.Estimations for the freezeout temperature（T_（ch）） and the baryon chemical potential（μ_b） and the exponents c and d are determined.The earlier are found compatible with the parameters deduced from Boltzmann-Gibbs（BG） statistics（extensive）,while the latter refer to generic nonextensivities.The resulting equivalence class（c,d） is associated with stretched exponentials,where Lambert function reaches its asymptotic stability.In some measurements,the resulting nonextensive entropy is linearly composed on extensive entropies.Apart from power-scaling,the particle ratios and yields are excellent quantities to highlighting whether the particle production takes place（non）extensively.Various particle ratios and yields measured by the STAR experiment in central collisions at 200,62.4 and 7.7 GeV are fitted with this novel approach.We found that both c and d 〈 1,i.e.referring to neither BG-nor Tsallis-type statistics,but to（c,d）-entropy,where Lambert functions exponentially rise.The freezeout temperature and baryon chemical potential are found comparable with the ones deduced from BG statistics（extensive）.We conclude that the particle production at STAR energies is likely a nonextensive process but not necessarily BG or Tsallis type.
