Main results in last ten years 1992-2003:

  • I examine the important effect of hadron formation time in the problem of quark hadronization. With the help of Monte Carlo simulation of interactions we show that the only way to make a choice between the different theoretical predictions of hadron formation time is the investigation of subsequent hadron-nucleon interactions and its consequences. For that aim we suggested to measure the backward-going proton energy spectrum in coincidence with produced hadron resonances in hadron-nucleus interaction at energies of some tens of GeV .
  • For the study of the nucleus-nucleus interactions we developed a model which use one inelastic NN-interaction approximation. It can describe the exclusive production processes with small cross-section on the planning accelerators RHIC and LHC. A-dependence nuclear coherent and incoherent production processes are predicted.
  • I and my co-workers study the high- p_t particles production in Upsilon-resonance region in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energy 6.3A TeV and predict the ratio of Signal of Upsilon and Background. We simulate the jets production in S-S collisions in Compact Muon Solenoid and study the properties of transverse energy spectrum. It is important for Quark-Gluon Signatures in Heavy Ion Collisions.
  • I am taking an active part in the international experiment "Search of Mesons with Unusual Quantum Numbers" (E852 collaboration: BNL, MSU, IHEP and 6 USA universities) at BNL's Alternating Gradient Synchrotron accelerator(USA). The aim of the experiment is to discover the new form of matter as the quark-antiquark-gluon bound states (Hybrids) or gluon-gluon bound state (Glueballs). The states are predicted by QCD models and there are some candidates now. Two exotic mesons Pi_1(1400 MeV) and Pi_1(1600 MeV with JPC=1-+ have a credible evidence in our experiment.
  • A new process of a nuclear excitation to discrete states in peripheral heavy ion collisions is studied. High energy photons are emitted by the exited nuclei with energies up to a few tens GeV at angles of a few hundred microradians with respect to the beam direction. We show that a two stage process where an electron - positron pair is produced by virtual photons emitted by nuclei and then the electron or positron excites the nucleus, has large cross section. It is equal to about 5 b for CaCa collisions. On one hand it produces a significant gamma-rays background in the nuclear fragmentation region but on the other hand it could be used to monitoring the nuclear beam intensity at LHC. These secondary nuclear photons could be a good signal for triggering peripheral nuclear collisions.
