We study the P-odd effects related to the vorticity of the medium formed in noncentral heavy-ion collisions. Using the kinetic quark-gluon strings model, we perform numerical simulations of the vorticity and hydrodynamical helicity for various atomic numbers, energies, and centralities. We observed vortical structures typically occupy the relatively small fraction of the fireball volume. In the course of numerical simulations, the noticeable hydrodynamical helicity was observed to manifest specific mirror behavior with respect to the reaction plane. The effect is maximal at the Nuclotron based Ion Collider fAcility and Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe energy range.

Unperturbed inverse kinematics nucleon knockout measurements with a carbon beam

Summary: The study overcomes limitations in interpreting particle knockout scattering experiments by measuring quasi-free scattering of 48 GeV c(-112)C ions from hydrogen. The distribution of single protons is studied by detecting two protons at large angles in coincidence with an intact B-11 nucleus. Short-range correlated nucleon-nucleon pairs are identified, providing direct experimental evidence for separation of the pair wavefunction from that of the residual many-body nuclear system.

On the existence of the Coleman instantons

V. F. Mukhanov, A. S. Sorin

Summary: In certain potentials, Coleman instantons do not exist, requiring the use of new instantons introduced in [7, 8] to describe the decay of a false vacuum.

Instantons with quantum core

V. F. Mukhanov, A. S. Sorin

Summary: This study discusses new instantons arising from quantum fluctuations, which modify the accepted picture of false vacuum decay. A general theory for these instantons with quantum cores is provided for arbitrary potentials, with a method developed to determine their parameters even when the thin-wall approximation fails. Unlike Coleman instantons, these instantons with quantum cores always exist in cases where the vacuum must be unstable.

About the Coleman instantons in D dimensions

V. F. Mukhanov, A. S. Sorin

Summary: In this study, we identify an infinite class of unbounded potentials that do not have Coleman instantons in D-dimensional spacetime. We introduce new instantons to describe the decay of a false vacuum for these potentials, as discussed in [5,6,4]. Additionally, we construct two different classes of potentials with exactly solvable instanton equations for each spacetime dimension D.

Quantum Fluctuations and New Instantons I: Linear Unbounded Potential

V. F. Mukhanov, E. Rabinovici, A. S. Sorin

Summary: The decay of a false vacuum is considered in situations where the methods proposed by Coleman face difficulties. Quantum fluctuations play a crucial role, introducing ultraviolet and infrared cutoff scales determined by classical solution parameters, leading to the emergence of a new class of O(4) invariant instantons. The issue of small instantons is resolved by taking into account inevitable quantum fluctuations.

Quantum Fluctuations and New Instantons II: Quartic Unbounded Potential

V. F. Mukhanov, E. Rabinovici, A. S. Sorin

Summary: The study focuses on the fate of a false vacuum in the presence of a potential with both quartic and unbounded components. It is demonstrated that an O(4) invariant instanton with Coleman boundary conditions is not viable in this scenario. However, quantum fluctuations are shown to regularize the singular classical solutions, leading to a new class of O(4) invariant regularized instantons describing vacuum instability without the Coleman instanton. Solutions are derived and decay rates are calculated accordingly.
