For hadron production in high energy collisions, causality requirements lead to the counterpart of the cosmological horizon problem: the production occurs in a number of causally disconnected regions of finite space-time size. As a result, globally conserved quantum numbers (charge, strangeness, baryon number) must be conserved locally in spatially restricted correlation clusters. This provides a theoretical basis for the observed suppression of strangeness production in elementary interactions (pp, e+e-). In contrast, the space-time superposition of many collisions in heavy ion interactions largely removes these causality constraints, resulting in an ideal hadronic resonance gas in full equilibrium.

The neutron production in thick targets irradiated with 1 GeV protons was studied experimentally, and results are well understood with model calculations, including MCNPX 2.7a. However, one observes very large neutron production rates in the interaction of 44 GeV 12C onto thick Cu-, Pb-, and U-targets beyond calculated rates. The experimental spallation product yield curve in a 20 cm thick Cu target irradiated with 72 GeV 40Ar also cannot be reproduced by several model codes, including MCNPX 2.7a. This may be due to secondary fragments produced in high energy ( GeV) heavy-ion interactions which destroy target nuclei more effectively than primary ions. These observed experimental facts constitute “unresolved problems” from a fundamental point of view. It may have an impact on radiation protection issues for future heavy-ion accelerators.

A Monte Carlo study on the charge balance function in high energy hadron-hadron and relativistic heavy ion collisions are carried out using the Monte Carlo generators PYTHIA and AMPT, respectively. A strong dependence of the width of balance function on multiplicity is found in both cases. Using the mean parton-freeze-out time of a heavy-ion-collision event as the characteristic hadronization time for the event, it is found that for a fixed multiplicity interval the width of balance function is consistent with being independent of hadronization time.

SummaryA Monte Carlo calculation has been performed to evaluate the yields expected from the kinetic theory of hot atom reactions for various combinations of parameters. The calculations here have been performed for the elastic, isotropic model and for an isotropic, pseudoelastic model in which the maximum energy loss is treated as a free parameter. The total hot yield,
