A classical description of electron emission differential ionization cross sections for highly-charged high-velocity ions ($sim$ 10 a.u.) impinging on water molecules is presented. We investigate the validity of the classical statistical mechanics description of ionization ($hbar=0$ limit of quantum mechanics) in different ranges of electron emission energy and solid angle, where mechanisms such as soft and binary collisions are expected to contribute. The classical-trajectory Monte Carlo method is employed to calculate doubly and singly differential cross sections for C$^{6+}$, O$^{8+}$ and Si$^{13+}$ projectiles, and comparisons with Continuum Distorted Wave Eikonal Initial State theoretical results and with experimental data are presented. We implement a time-dependent screening effect in our model, in the spirit of mean-field theory to investigate its effect for highly charged projectiles. We also focus on the role of an accurate description of the molecular target by means of a three-center potential to show its effect on differential cross sections. Very good agreement with experiments is found at medium to high electron emission energies.

A recently proposed classical-trajectory dynamical screening model for the description of multiple ionization and capture during ion-water molecule collisions is extended to incorporate dynamical screening on both the multi-center target potential an d the projectile ion. Comparison with available experimental data for He$^{2+}$ + H$_2$O collisions at intermediate energies (10-150 keV/u) and Li$^{3+}$ + H$_2$O at higher energies (100-850 keV/u) demonstrates the importance of both screening mechanisms. The question of how to deal with the repartitioning of the capture flux into allowed capture channels is addressed. The model also provides insights for data on highly-charged projectile ions (C$^{6+}$, O$^{8+}$, Si$^{13+}$) in the MeV/u range where the question of saturation effects in net ionization was raised in the literature.
The new monte-carlo generator of heavy ion collisions, DCM-SMM, based on Dubna Cascade Model (DCM-QGSM) and Statistical Multifragmentation Model (SMM) is described. The model aimed to generate particle--nucleus and nucleus--nucleus collisions at a wi de range of energy was created to provide the computer simulation support to new experimental facilities BMN and MPD at the accelerator complex NICA. It can simulate the production of both light particles and nuclear fragments and hyperfragments on the event by event basis.
In hydrodynamicalmodeling of heavy-ion collisions the initial state spatial anisotropies translate into momentum anisotropies of the final state particle distributions. Thus, understanding the origin of the initial anisotropies and quantifying their uncertainties is important for the extraction of specific QCD matter properties, such as viscosity, from the experimental data. In this work we study the wounded nucleon approach in the Monte Carlo Glauber model framework, focusing especially on the uncertainties which arise from the modeling of the nucleon-nucleon interactions between the colliding nucleon pairs and nucleon-nucleon correlations inside the colliding nuclei. We compare the black disk model and a probabilistic profile function approach for the inelastic nucleon-nucleon interactions, and study the effects of initial state correlations using state-of-theart modeling of these.

Liquid water has been proved to be an excellent medium for specimen structure imaging by a scanning electron microscope. Knowledge of electron-water interaction physics and particularly the secondary electron yield is essential to the interpretation of the imaging contrast. However, very little is known up to now experimentally on the low energy electron interaction with liquid water because of certain practical limitations. It is then important to gain some useful information about electron emission from water by a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique that can numerically model electron transport trajectories in water. In this study, we have performed MC simulations of electron emission from liquid water in the primary energy range of 50 eV-30 keV by using two different codes, i.e. a classical MC (CMC) code developed in our laboratory and the Geant4-DNA (G4DNA) code. The calculated secondary electron yield and electron backscattering coefficient are compared with experimental results wherever applicable to verify the validity of physical models for the electron-water interaction. The secondary electron yield vs. primary energy curves calculated by the two codes present the same generic curve shape as that of metals but in rather different absolute values. G4DNA yields the underestimated absolute values due to the application of one step thermalization model by setting a cutoff energy at 7.4 eV so that the low energy losses due to phonon excitations are omitted. Our CMC calculation of secondary electron yield is closer to the experimental data and the energy distribution is reasonable. It is concluded that a full dielectric function data at low energy loss values below 7.4 eV shall be employed in G4DNA model for the modeling of low energy electrons.
We use a diffusion Monte Carlo method to solve the many-body Schrodinger equation describing fully-heavy tetraquark systems. This approach allows to reduce the uncertainty of the numerical calculation at the percent level, accounts for multi-particle correlations in the physical observables, and avoids the usual quark-clustering assumed in other theoretical techniques applied to the same problem. The interaction between particles was modeled by the most general and accepted potential, i.e. a pairwise interaction including Coulomb, linear-confining and hyperfine spin-spin terms. This means that, in principle, our analysis should provide some rigorous statements about the mass location of the all-heavy tetraquark ground states, which is particularly timely due to the very recent observation made by the LHCb collaboration of some enhancements in the invariant mass spectra of $J/psi$-pairs. Our main results are: (i) the $ccbar cbar c$, $ccbar bbar b$ ($bbbar cbar c$) and $bbbar b bar b$ lowest-lying states are located well above their corresponding meson-meson thresholds; (ii) the $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ $ccbar cbar c$ ground state with preferred quark-antiquark pair configurations is compatible with the enhancement(s) observed by the LHCb collaboration; (iii) our results for the $ccbar cbar b$ and $bbbar cbar b$ sectors seem to indicate that the $0^+$ and $1^+$ ground states are almost degenerate with the $2^+$ located around $100,text{MeV}$ above them; (iv) smaller mass splittings for the $cbbar cbar b$ system are predicted, with absolute mass values in reasonable agreement with other theoretical works; (v) the $1^{++}$ $cbbar cbar b$ tetraquark ground state lies at its lowest $S$-wave meson-meson threshold and it is compatible with a molecular configuration.
