Our theorists are reknown experts in theory of nuclear collisions and phenomenology of proton and heavy ion scattering.

Among group's theoretical activities studies of collective effects in pp and AA, of high multiplicities in pp, elastic scattering of protons should be stressed.

Collective effects in pp and AA

Properties of dense strongly interacted matter formed in AA scattering heavily depend on time passed after collision. Experimental studies indicate that properties of that matter can not be factorized to a trivial superposition of pp. According to present consensus in a theory of strong interactions different stages of collision may be distinguished, which is presented on a figure below.

roup participants take part in a studies of theory and phenomenology of collective physics in AA. In particular, phenomenological model for strongly interacted matter by a means of chromopermetivity, which is an non-abelian analog of dielectric permitivity in electromagnetism, has been presented. Also possibility of Cherenkov gluon emission is investigated.

It is shown that the soft mechanism of multiparticle production by Lund hadronic strings formed by colliding constituent degrees of freedom generates a shape of angular correlations similar to the ridge structure observed in the pp collisions at 7 TeV at the LHC.

Multiparticle production of hadrons

Mechanism of multiparticle production is highly important in a collisions of high energy particles. Study of such processes gives us possibility to get information of a matter structure on a very small scales, of a new forms of matter that may be formed in extreme conditions, of assymptotic properties of strong interactions, of quark confinement etc. Understanding of processes of multiparticle production in strong interaction is also important to distinguish effects that may or may not be explained by a standart model, so it is also crucial for a planning of new experiments.

In a seminal paper of I. M. Dremin and D. S. Chernyavskiy was originally considered one-mesonic approximation and its application to calculations of nonelastic peripheral hadron scattering. Method shortly became fundamental multiperipheral and multireggeon models.

Also let us mention work of I. M. Dremin on investigation of multiparticle production by a means of analysis of probability-generating functions in perturbative QCD. System of equations for jet evolution was analised for both fixed and running coupling. Systematic approach for analysis of equations with a running coupling by expanding integrand in series has been considered, which resulted in modification of perturbative expansion for observables. Comparison with experiment was presented.

The multiplicity distributions of charged particles at Tevatron (p\bar p) and LHC (pp) energies were analysed in the framework of the independent pair parton interactions (IPPI) model. It was shown that the number of soft pair parton interactions (and therefore the density of the partonic medium) is large and increases with energy. This growth depends on the width of the rapidity window. The similar conclusions were obtained in the multiladder exchange model (QGSM).

We founded an indication that the rates of different hard processes observed by CMS and ALICE universally depend on underlying event charged-particles multiplicity until it becomes four times more than average. It was shown that the increase of the overlap area of colliding protons was not sufficient for explanation of the rate of jet production in events with charged-particle multiplicity three times higher than average and some new mechanisms are necessary like interaction of protons in rare configurations of higher than average gluon density. Such mechanisms are not included in the present Monte Carlo event generators.
