For this, we used 2D Hubbard Model with the action open quantum system Lindblad equation and then apply the saddle point condition to obtain the auxiliary field of the 2D system. The obtained pair correlation of quasiparticles was found symmetric in nature with cooper pairs electron paring angle. The pair correlation of 0K was found 0.1times, 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, and 5 times greater when compared with 0.2K, 0.3K, 0.4K, 0.5K, and 0.6K, respectively at -1 radian and +1 radian copper pairs electron pairing angle which is maximum. In addition, with increasing the temperature, the pair correlation decrease and become minimum without loss of symmetry.

The ongoing nuclear collision programs at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are two experimental facilities, where matter in the state of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) can be created and characterized. Heavy quarks, mainly charm and bottom quarks, are considered as novel probes to characterize QGP, and hence the QCD matter. Heavy quark diffusion coefficients play a significant role to understand the properties of QCD matter. Experimental measurements of nuclear suppression factor and elliptic flow are able to constrain the heavy quark diffusion coefficients, which is a key ingredient for the phenomenological study and disentangle different energy loss models. We give a general perspective of heavy quark diffusion coefficient in QGP and discuss its potential as a probe to disentangle different hadronization mechanisms, as well as to probe the initial electromagnetic field produced in non-central collisions. Experimental perspective on future measurements are discussed with special emphasis on heavy-flavors as next generation probes.

A wireless sensor network is an arrangement collected of several computing and sensing devices distributed within an environment to be monitored. In this network saving power is a very serious issue, since sensor nodes are typically powered by batteries with an inadequate capacity. Since distribution is the main cause of power consumption in a sensor node, broadcast or response of data should be limited as much as possible. To this aim in this research paper, we propose an en ethics of reducing power consumption in wireless sensor networks using soft computing method.

The sea-level rise due to polar ice and glacier melting has directly affected the coastal environment. The present study attempts to analyze the potential migration characteristics of Jambudwip Island of the Sundarban biosphere in the Bay of Bengal. GIS, Remote Sensing and Statistical analyses have been utilized for this observation. Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) was used to assess the shoreline change over time span. Moreover, Linear Regression Rate (LRR) and End Point Rate (EPR) were used for statistical analysis to measure the rate of change of shoreline during 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017. NDVI and single-band threshold method (IR band) has been applied on the Landsat-7 and OLI data to identify the shoreline position. The result showed that the Western part of the island was the most erosive zone and Eastern part is the most accretive zone. Overall, the maximum rate of erosion was 49.08 m/yr and accretion 122.4 m/yr. In consequence, shoreline length has also been changed between 2011and 2017, from approximately 11879.91m to 10374.42 m.

We have investigated the role of transport coefficient in developing these anisotropic flows correlations. We suggest υ n h e a v y − υ n l i g h t correlation and the relative fluctuations of anisotropic flows συη /〈υn 〉 as novel observables to constrain the HQ transport coefficients in quark gluon plasma. Finally, very strong electro-magnetic (E.M.) fields are created in Ultra-relativistic Heavy-Ion Collision (HIC). We show within relativistic Boltzmann transport approach coupled with E.M. field that the strong e.m. field is responsible for a splitting of directed flow υ 1 of D and anti-D mesons of few percent, i.e. much larger compared to the observed charged particles. Moreover, we discuss the role played by the initial large bulk vorticity on the build up of rapidity odd HQs directed flow υ 1.

We discuss the relevant physical scale as well the difficulties of the present theoretical approach to have a self-consistent description of the experimental data at both RHIC and LHC. In the second part we challenge the assumption of brownian motion for charm quarks and compare the dynamical evolution of charm and bottom quarks in a Fokker-Planck approach and in a Transport Boltzmann one. We show that while for bottom the motion appears quite close to a Brownian one, this does note seems to be the case for charms quarks. In particular the solution of the full twobody collision integral shows that the anisotropic flows are larger respect to those predicted by a Langevin dynamics.

Heavy-quark transport coefficients extracted from these models with their default parameters vary, however, by up to a factor of five at high momenta. To investigate the origin of this large theoretical uncertainty, a systematic comparison of heavy-quark transport coefficients is carried out between various transport models. Within a common scheme devised for the nuclear modification factor of charm quarks in a brick medium of a quark-gluon plasma, the systematic uncertainty of the extracted drag coefficient among these models is shown to be reduced to a factor of two, which can be viewed as the smallest intrinsic systematical error band achievable at present time. This indicates the importance of a realistic hydrodynamic evolution constrained by bulk hadron spectra and of heavy-quark hadronization for understanding the final heavy-flavor hadron spectra and extracting heavy-quark drag coefficient. The transverse transport coefficient is less constrained due to the influence of the underlying mechanism for heavy-quark medium interaction. Additional constraints on transport models such as energy loss fluctuation and transverse-momentum broadening can further reduce theoretical uncertainties in the extracted transport coefficients.

Non-perturbative interaction between heavy quarks and light quarks have been taken into account through a quasi-particle approach in which light partons are dressed with thermal masses tuned to lQCD thermodynamics. Such a model is able to describe the main feature of the non-perturbative dynamics: the enhancement of the interaction strength near Tc. We show that the resulting charm in-medium evolution is able to correctly predict simultaneously the nuclear suppression factor, RAA, and the elliptic flow, v2, at both RHIC and LHC energies and at different centralities. The hadronization of charm quarks is described by mean of an hybrid model of fragmentation plus coalescence and plays a key role toward the agreeement with experimental data. We also performed calculations within the Langevin approach which can lead to very similar RAA(pT) as Boltzmann, but the charm drag coefficient as to be reduced by about a 30% and also generates an elliptic flow v2(pT) is about a 15% smaller. We finally compare the space diffusion coefficient 2πT Ds extracted by our phenomenological approach to lattice QCD results, finding a satisfying agreement within the present systematic uncertainties. Our analysis implies a charm thermalization time, in the p → 0 limit, of about 4 − 6 f m/c which is smaller than the QGP lifetime at LHC energy.

Physical Review D, 2016

The impact of the Chromo-Weibel instability on the dynamics of a heavy-quark (HQ) traversing in the QGP medium is investigated within the framework of kinetic theory by studying the momentum and temperature behavior of HQ drag and diffusion coefficients. The physics of anisotropy is captured in an effective Vlasov term in the transport equation. The effects of the instability are handled by making a relation with the phenomenologically known jet quenching parameter in RHIC and LHC. Interestingly, the presence of instability significantly affect the temperature and momentum dependences of the HQ drag and diffusion coefficients. These results may have appreciable impact on the experimental observables such as, the nuclear suppression factor, RAA(pT), and the elliptic flow, v2(pT), of heavy mesons in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies which is a matter of future investigation.
