Biography

Introductory account A Jordanian physics professor, working at Al Hussein Bin Talal University since 2004 , I am a capable, successful and desirable professor for my students , I can make a clear effort to benefit them, including distance education (online). I believe that I belong to a distinguished department and faculty, and our students have achieved the first place in the cognitive university examinations among Jordanian universities for more than years. My research work has been published in high-profile journals. I had very good experience in an office working as President, Vice President and Dean of the Faculty of Science. Professor Mohamed Abushaib was a member of the WA98 Collaboration, which was a high-energy nuclear physics experiment conducted at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) in CERN in Geneva , Switzerland. The WA98 experiment was designed to study the properties of nuclear material at extremely high temperatures and densities by colliding lead nuclei at high energies. Professor Abu Shaib contributed to the analysis of experimental data, leading to a better understanding of quark-gluon plasma. It is a state of matter believed to have existed in the early universe shortly after the Big Bang. My portfolio of teaching experience Since 2004 , I have taught nuclear physics to graduate and undergraduate students, elementary particle physics, modern physics, thermodynamics , classical physics, quantum physics, heat and wave , radiation physics, and laboratories. I am very good at supervising and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. Teaching online using teams, zoom and the big blue button, I am able to use Moodle. The existence of a teaching development strategy depends on output and comprehension markers. My relationship with the student is friendly and I think it helps in building a good and diligent student. I can build an independent research program, which complements and strengthens ongoing research activities in the field and leads to publication and external funding, as well as service to the department, college, university, and community. My experience of working for accreditation for more than 5 years in Saudi Arabia and Jordanian universities makes me able to improve my educational courses and research work. My previous publication was in high energy physics, and I moved to the nuclear and radiation field due to the leakage of Arab groups working in this field. Won the Best Edition Award for the academic year 2017 at Al Majmaah University (Saudi Arabia).

In the first study, the Radon emanation and radiological hazards associated with radionuclides in soil samples, collected from 9 various date palm farms located in 3 different districts in Saudi Arabia were determined through a high purity Germanium (HPGe) gamma-ray spectrometer. The estimated average values of Radon emanation coefficient and Radon mass exhalation rate for soil samples were 0.535 ± 0.016 and 50.063 ± 7.901 mBqkg−1h−1, respectively. The annual effective dose of radionuclides in all sampling locations was found to be lower than UNSCEAR's recommended level of 0.07 mSvy−1 for soil in an outdoor environment. In the secondary study, gross α and gross β activities in soil and date palm pits samples were measured by a low background α/β counting system. Average values of gross α and gross β activities in soil and date palm pits samples were 5.761 ± 0.360 Bqkg−1, 38.219 ± 8.619 Bqkg−1 and 0.556 ± 0.142 Bqkg−1, 24.266 ± 1.711 Bqkg−1, respectively.

Herein, a novel mountain soursop seeds powder (MSSP) adsorbent was employed to explore the adsorption mechanism of two relevant environmental pollutants: crystal violet CV and methylene blue MB. As a first assessment to investigate the adsorption mechanism and to analyze the performance of this adsorbent, the dye adsorption isotherms were measured at 298–328 K and pH 8. Experimental results demonstrated that this adsorbent was more effective to remove the CV dye compared to MB dye from aqueous solution, thus concluding that it could utilized for the treatment of dye polluted industrial effluents. To further interpret the adsorption mechanism and to obtain a new physicochemical vision, a successful phenomenological theoretical analysis via double layer adsorption model was detailed in this paper. At high equilibrium concentration, the adsorbed quantities at saturation were calculated and they followed this sequence: Qsat (CV-MSSP) > Qsat (MB-MSSP). This theoretical finding explained the highest adsorption for CV dye at different temperatures and characterized analytically its affinity for tested adsorbates. The geometry inclination of tested dyes on MSSP adsorbent surface was described in the paper by analyzing the bonded number of CV and MB dye molecules per site. It was demonstrated that these dyes were adsorbed via a mixed orientation. Based on the estimated concentrations at half-saturation, the calculated adsorption energies suggested that the adsorption of CV and MB on MSSP adsorbent was endothermic. A general analytical description of the dye adsorption mechanism showed that the density of receptor sites and adsorption energies followed the same trend as the adsorption capacity, then they can be considered as the factors that governed this separation process.

The fluctuations in pseudorapidity density are well described by Fritiof and IRIS, model for a bulk of the data at a few high multiplicity events remain unexplained. In these events, the estimated energy density is within the range of values predicated for the onset of the deconfinement phase transition. It is important to know whether fluctuations are, in fact, of statistical nature or geometrical ones or due to some physical process. A fluctuation is not just due to statistical origin if it exceeds five or six standard deviations. Different methods devised to understand the nature of these fluctuations are discussed.

The experimental distributions for Heavy ion interaction, Au+ Au, Pb+ Au, Pb+ Pb have been fitted to polynomial fit of 4 th order to look at minor differences in multiplicity distributions for different targets at heavy ion collisions experiment. The multiplicity distributions found similar; except for small differences which may be of statistical in nature. This analysis supports the hypothesis that geometrical aspects play a dominant role in particle production in heavy ion interactions.

Authors

Introduction The study of the collisions properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperature and energy density showed that hard partons lose energy when transverse in the hot and dense medium created in the collision. They lose energy by gluon radiation or colliding with surrounding patrons [1-3]. The method of energy losses lead to a softening of the hadrons spectra at high PT. The energy losses can be calculated using Quantum Chromo dynamics (QCD). Soft QCD processes dominate particle production at PT and the PT distributions, which described by hydrodynamic models, distinct pattern of mesons and baryon suppression, have been observed, which are consistent with hadronization through coalescence of quarks. Adding to that an enhancement of baryon/meson ratio above unity at high PT was observed [4, 5]. Nuclear–nuclear reactions at top SPS energy up to 17.3 GeV/nucleon studied to investigate the energy dependence
