Bose-Einstein correlations of pairs of identical charged pions produced in hadronic Z decays are analyzed in terms of various parametrizations. A good description is achieved using a Lévy stable distribution in conjunction with a hadronization model having highly correlated configuration and momentum space, the tau-model. Using these results, the source function is reconstructed.

In this talk I first present a short review of fluctuations in e+e--annihilations. I then describe some new results on FD correlations. Experimental analyses of pp and <FONT FACE=Symbol>L L</FONT> correlations indicate a very small production radius. This result relies very strongly on comparisons with MC simulations. A study of the approximations and uncertainties in these simulations implies that it is premature to draw such a conclusion from the data.

Electron-proton (ep) collisions at HERA can be regarded as an interaction between a virtual photon and the proton. The interaction gives a unique opportunity for studying particle production in the hadronic final state of the ep collisions. This contribution reviews the momentum distribution of fragmented hadrons and strange meson and baryon production. Also the Bose-Einstein correlation length and azimuthal asymmetry were measured.

The NA49 experiment at CERN SPS has acquired a huge data set of Pb+Pb events over a broad range of energy and centrality during the last several years. This high statistics data set, coupled with a state-of-the-art analysis technique, allows for the first model-independent extraction and energy scan of 3D emission sources for pion pairs at SPS energies. These 3D pion emission sources provide new insights into the nature of a long-range source previously reported by PHENIX at RHIC. Preliminary results indicate that the pion source function is essentially Gaussian from 20 AGeV to 80 AGeV but it displays significant non-Gaussian tails at 158 AGeV.

We investigate degree of coherence of pion sources produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions using multi-particle interferometry. In order to obtain ''true'' chaoticity, lambdatrue from two-pion correlation functions measured in experiments, we make a correction for long-lived resonance decay contributions. Using this lambdatrue and the weight factor which are obtained from parameter fitted to two- and three-pion correlation function, we calculate a chaotic fraction e and the number of coherent sources alpha for different colliding energies. The result gives constraints on the source and shows an increase of the minimum number of alpha with multiplicity, although multiplicity independent chaoticity is not excluded.

Elliptic flow at RHIC is computed event-by-event with NeXSPheRIO. We show that when symmetry of the particle distribution in relation to the reaction plane is assumed, there is a disagreement between the true and reconstructed elliptic flows. We suggest a possible way to take into account the asymmetry and get good agreement between these elliptic flows.

An inhomogeneous decoupling surface of hadrons produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions may occur, if the expanding hot and dense matter passes through a first order phase transition. We show that due to the non-linear dependence of the particle densities on the temperature and baryon-chemical potential such inhomogeneities should be visible even in the integrated, inclusive abundances. We analyze experimental data from Pb+Pb collisions at CERN-SPS and Au+Au collisions at BNL-RHIC to determine the amplitude of inhomogeneities and the role of local and global strangeness neutrality.

A new class of accelerating, exact, explicit and simple solutions of relativistic hydrodynamics is presented. Since these new solutions yield a finite rapidity distribution, they lead to an advanced estimate of the initial energy density and life-time of high energy heavy ion collisions. Accelerating solutions are also given for spherical expansions in arbitrary number of spatial dimensions.

We present femtoscopic results from models in which the resonance contribution is taken into account. The Therminator program, which implements a single freeze-out model and takes into account propagation and decay of all known resonances, was used. We test methods of determining the femtoscopic size of the system, or the ''HBT radii''. We show that the best one is the two-particle method combined with the exact calculation of the two-pion wave function including the wave-function symmetrization and Coulomb effects. We compare it to other methods and comment on their validity and applicability.

The study of heavy flavor production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is an extreme experimental challenge but provides important information on the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Heavy quarks are believed to be produced in the initial stages of the collision, and are essential on the understanding of parton energy loss in the dense medium created in such environment. Moreover, heavy-flavor quarkonia production is an important tool to understand deconfinement. In this work we review recent results on open heavy flavor and quarkonia production and their interaction with the hot and dense medium at RHIC.

We identify the nuclear effects that modify the cross sections for open heavy flavor production in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. In p+A reactions, we calculate and resum the coherent nuclear-enhanced power corrections from the final-state parton scattering in the medium. We find that single and double inclusive open charm production can be suppressed as much as the yield of neutral pions from dynamical high-twist shadowing. Effects of energy loss in p+A collisions are also investigated. These lead to significantly weaker transverse momentum dependence of the nuclear attenuation and give a sizable contribution to the forward rapidity hadron suppression. In A+A reactions we revisit the question of the measured large heavy flavor quenching at RHIC. We derive the collisional broadening of the heavy meson's transverse momentum and the distortion of its intrinsic light cone wave function. The medium-induced dissociation probability of heavy mesons is shown to be sensitive to the opacity of the quark-gluon plasma and the time dependence of its formation and evolution. In contrast to previous results on heavy quark modification, our approach predicts suppression of B-mesons comparable to that of D-mesons at transverse momenta as low as pT ~ 10 GeV. It allows for an improved description of the large attenuation of non-photonic electrons in central Au+Au reactions at RHIC. Preliminary results in the implementation of collisional and radiative energy loss in a Langevin simulation approach to heavy quark diffusion and attenuation are also presented.

Heavy flavour quarks in ep collisions are produced mostly from pair-production through a fusion of a virtual photon and a gluon from the proton. Therefore, the production cross sections provide information on the gluon distribution in the proton. The presence of a hard scale from the heavy quark mass, in principle, ensures that the cross sections are calculable through pQCD. Measurements in ep collisions, however, show that the calculations reasonably agree with the data in general, but underestimate the cross sections in some regions of phase space.

We use diquark-antidiquark currents to investigate the masses and partial decay widths of the recently observed mesons D+sJ(2317), D*0(0)(2308) and X(3872), considered as four-quark states, in a QCD sum rule approach. In particular we investigate the coupling constant gDsJ DK. We found that the gDsJ DK obtained in this four-quark scenario is smaller than the coupling constant obtained when D+sJ(2317) is considered as a conventional cs state.

The possibility that around some astrophysical objects there are non-static magnetic fields of enormous intensity suggests that in these situations real particles may be produced. The slowness of the variation is compensated by the huge intensity. The main issue is the production of e+-e- pairs annihilating into photons and the direct production of photons, as one of the concurrent process in the GRB (gamma ray bursts). Then some simple effects due to the presence of the intense gravity are studied and finally a look is given to the production of other kinds of particles.

Relativistic heavy-ion collisions provide a unique environment to study matter under extreme conditions of high temperature andenergy density. In the soft pT region (< 2 GeV/c) particle production is governed by the bulk properties (e.g. hydrodynamic pressure, freeze-out temperature) of the collisions.Total particle yields as well as their distributions in phase space are strongly dependent on these properties. These bulk properties will be discussed and we will compare our heavy-ion results to measurements in the p+p reference system, where multiparticle processes such as recombination and rescattering are generally thought to be negligible. However, we will show evidence for pi+ pi- rescattering interactions even in p+p collisions.

I discuss the physics of non-Abelian plasmas which are locally anisotropic in momentum space. Such momentum-space anisotropies are generated by the rapid longitudinal expansion of the matter created in the first 1 fm/c of an ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision. In contrast to locally isotropic plasmas anisotropic plasmas have a spectrum of soft unstable modes which are characterized by exponential growth of transverse chromo-magnetic/-electric fields at short times. This instability is the QCD analogue of the Weibel instability of QED. Parametrically the chromo-Weibel instability provides the fastest method for generation of soft background fields and dominates the short-time dynamics of the system. The existence of the chromo-Weibel instability has been proven using diagrammatic methods, transport theory, and numerical solution of classical Yang-Mills fields. I review the results obtained from each of these methods and discuss the numerical techniques which are being used to determine the late-time behavior of plasmas subject to a chromo-Weibel instability.

The transverse momentum distributions of hadrons in 200GeV Au-Au collisions at RHIC are calculated using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics code SPheRIO. They are compared with data from STAR and PHOBOS Collaborations. By employing an equation of state which explicitly incorporates the strangeness conservation and introducing strangeness chemical potential into the code, the transverse spectra give a reasonable description of experimental data, except the multiplicities of hyperons.

Differential studies of elliptic flow are one of the most powerful tools in studying the initial conditions and dynamical evolution of heavy ion collisions. The comparison of data from Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions taken with the PHOBOS experiment at RHIC provides new information on the interplay between initial geometry and initial particle density in determining the observed final state flow pattern. Studies from PHOBOS point to the importance of fluctuations in the initial state geometry for understanding the Cu+Cu data. We relate the elliptic flow data to the results of our model studies on initial state geometry fluctuations and discuss how we will perform measurements of event-by-event fluctuations in elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions.

We discuss aspects of space-time evolution models and the decomposition of the excess spectra into different emission sources.

We investigate stopping and particle production in heavy-ion collisions in a Relativistic Diffusion Model (RDM). Using three sources for particle production, the energy- and centrality dependence of rapidity distributions of net protons, and pseudorapidity distributions of charged hadrons in heavy systems at RHIC energies are precisely reproduced in the analytical model. The transport coefficients are then extrapolated from Au + Au at RHIC energies (<FONT FACE=Symbol>Ö</FONT>sNN=19.6 - 200 GeV) to Pb + Pb at LHC energies of <FONT FACE=Symbol>Ö</FONT>sNN= 5.52 TeV. Rapidity distributions for net protons, and pseudorapidity spectra for produced charged particles are obtained and discussed in a three-sources model at LHC energies.

Multiparticle production in lepton and hadron processes is studied by means of the Gluon Dominance Model (GDM) which is based on the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and phenomenological scheme of hadronization. The model describes the multiplicity distributions and their moments very well. It has revealed an active role of gluons in multiparticle production and confirmed the fragmentation mechanism of hadronization in e+e- annihilation and its change to a recombination mechanism in hadron and nucleus interactions. The GDM explains the shoulder structure of multiplicity distributions. The hadron-pion ratio obtained by GDM has turned out to be in agreement with the experimental RHIC data of Au+Au peripheral collisions. Besides, development of GDM allows one to study the multiplicity behavior of p$p\bar{p}$ annihilation at tens of GeV. The mechanism of soft-photon production and estimates of their emission region have been offered in the framework of this model. The experimental data (project "Thermalization", U-70, IHEP) indicated the cluster nature of multiparticle production revealed by using GDM.

We have also studied how our results depend on the prescription to extend the saturation scale to the nuclear case.

Measurements from the H1 and ZEUS collaborations of the diffractive deep-inelastic scattering process, ep -> eXY, where Y is a proton or a low mass proton excitation, are presented for photon virtualities in the range 2.2 < Q² < 1600 GeV² and squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex satisfying | t | < 1 GeV². Diffractive parton distribution functions and their uncertainties are determined from a next-to-leading order DGLAP QCD analysis. Combining measurements of the inclusive diffractive deep-inelastic scattering process with an analysis of diffractive dijet production allows a very sensitive determination of both quark and gluon distributions.

Recent results from the H1 and ZEUS experiments on exclusive processes in diffractive ep collisions at HERA are reviewed. The measurements discussed here include dijets and charm in photoproduction as well as in deep inelastic scattering. Such processes are sensitive to the partonic structure of the diffractive exchange, particularly to the gluon content, and represent complementary tests for the validity of QCD factorization in diffraction. The measurements are compared to theoretical models, including NLO predictions, using the most recent diffractive parton densities as extracted from inclusive measurements. Recent results on exclusive vector meson production and deeply virtual compton scattering are also presented.

Experimental evidence from RHIC indicates that matter having an energy density far in excess of the value required for the creation of a deconfined phase is produced in ultrarelativistic Au+Au collisions at <FONT FACE=Symbol>Ö</FONT>sNN=200 GeV. This matter thermalizes rapidly, is strongly interacting, and displays hydrodynamic properties akin to a fluid with very low viscosity. Studies of the interaction of hard scattered partons with this matter provide an important probe of its properties. In fact, studies of the suppression of high-pT hadrons have been one of the key arguments used by the RHIC experiments that the matter created is something fundamentally new and exciting. I review the current experimental picture that has emerged from the data collected at RHIC, with an emphasis on the effort to extract quantitative measurements from the suppression of high-pT hadrons.

New generalization of the z-scaling in inclusive particle production is proposed. The scaling variable z is expressed in terms of the momentum fractions x1 and x2 of the incoming protons. Explicit dependence of z on the momentum fractions y a and y b of the scattered and recoil constituents carried by the inclusive particle and recoil object is included. The scaling function psi (z) for charged and identified hadrons produced in proton-proton collisions is constructed. The scheme allows unique description of data on inclusive cross sections of charged hadrons, pions, kaons, antiprotons and lambdas produced at RHIC energies. The obtained results suggest that the z-scaling may be used as a tool for searching for new physics phenomena of particle production in high transverse momentum and high multiplicity region at proton-proton colliders RHIC and LHC.

Experimental observation of jet quenching in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is one of the most remarkable discoveries at RHIC. High-pT hadron suppression, disappearance of back-to-back jets, and strong away-side modification at intermediate to low pT have provided us many insights into the matter created at RHIC. Particularly, angular correlations have become a powerful tool to study the QCD matter through its interactions with jets. Di-hadron correlations reveal significant broadening and softening of associated hadrons on the away side of a triggered high-pT particle. Many mechanisms have been proposed to accommodate the data, including the intriguing Mach cone shock waves in a thermalized hydrodynamic matter, which can be discriminated by 3-particle correlations. Here a brief overview of these remarkable experimental measurements on jet quenching is presented and implications of these measurements are discussed.
