2. BCS-BEC
BEC of molecules
BCS fermionic superfluid
BCS (Barden, Cooper and Schrieffer, 1957): normal superconductivity weak coupling, large pair size, k-space pairing, overlaping Cooper pairs BEC (Bose-Einstein-Condensation, 1924/1925): strong coupling, small pair size, r-space pairing, ideal gas of bosons, first realization in dilute atomic gas with bosons in BCS-BEC crossover (Eagles, Leggett, 1969, 1980): BCS wave function at T=0 can be generalized to arbitrary attraction: a smooth crossover from BCS to BEC!
Let us consider the history of theoretical studies of BCS-BEC crossover. Of course, the first theory is a mean-field theory. Here is the phase diagram at zero temperature. As the attractive interaction U is changed from a small negative value to a large negative value, we go from the BCS regime to the BEC regime. For the BCS regime, the BCS wave-function is valid. While for the BEC regime, we have the BEC variational wave-function. The important discovery by Eagles and Leggett is that these two wave-functions actually are connected. For example, in the BEC limit, the vk in the BCS wave-function becomes very small, we can rewrite it into this form. Therefore, the BCS wave-function can be transformed into the BEC wave-function. This observation suggests that from BCS to BEC it is not an abrupt phase transition, rather, we have a smooth crossover. The mean-field theory has been generalized by Holland and Levin to the cold atomic gases.

3. Pairing
Tc in the BEC region is independent of the coupling between fermions, since the coupling only affects the internal structure of the bosons.
in BCS, Tc is determined by thermal excitation of fermions, in BEC, Tc is controlled by thermal excitation of collective modes

the NLO contribution becomes dominant only at LHC energy!
c and cbar (D and Dbar) should have strong back-to-back angular correlations.
● Hadronic re-scattering has little effects on D Dbar correlations (UrQMD) ● How does the QGP modify the angular correlation?
+ hydrodynamics
LHC
● at RHIC, the back-to-back angular correlations are washed away by partonic collectivity ● At LHC, larger partonic density, higher temperature, stronger collective expansion lead to a near side D Dbar correlation!
