This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum Chromodynamics calculations on the lattice predict that at extremely high energy densities, colliding nuclear matter would undergo a phase transition to deconfined matter of quarks and gluons. The nature of transition, the temperature and the energy density at which the transition occurs depend upon the details of calculations; these depend upon the number of quark flavors introduced in the calculation. This deconfined state of quark and gluons has been named Quark Gluon Plasma(QGP). This work purports to understand the azimuthal distribution of photons produced in Cu+Cu collisions at 200 GeV with Photon Multiplicity Detector (PMD). The PMD is part of the STAR (Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC) experiment.PMD covers a pseudorapidity range of -3.7 to -2.3 with full azimuthal coverage and measures the multiplicity and spatial distribution of photons on an event-by-event basis.The value of second order azimuthal coefficient has been determined for different centralities in different pseudorapidity windows and its pseudorapidity and centrality dependence has been obtained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to cover the fascinating field of physics of relativistic heavy ions, mainly from the experimentalist's point of view. After the introductory chapter on quantum chromodynamics, basic properties of atomic nuclei, sources of relativistic nuclei, and typical detector set-ups are described in three subsequent chapters. Experimental facts on collisions of relativistic heavy ions are systematically presented in 15 consecutive chapters, starting from the simplest features like cross sections, multiplicities, and spectra of secondary particles and going to more involved characteristics like correlations, various relatively rare processes, and newly discovered features: collective flow, high pT suppression and jet quenching. Some entirely new topics are included, such as the difference between neutron and proton radii in nuclei, heavy hypernuclei, and electromagnetic effects on secondary particle spectra.Phenomenological approaches and related simple models are discussed in parallel with the presentation of experimental data. Near the end of the book, recent ideas about the new state of matter created in collisions of ultrarelativistic nuclei are discussed. In the final chapter, some predictions are given for nuclear collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), now in construction at the site of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva. Finally, the appendix gives us basic notions of relativistic kinematics, and lists the main international conferences related to this field. A concise reference book on physics of relativistic heavy ions, it shows the present status of this field.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Vigorous experimental and theoretical programs are underway to study the behaviour of strongly interacting systems in extreme conditions of temperature and density. The only practical way to create such systems in terrestrial laboratories is to collide nuclei at relativistic energies. This is done at accelerator facilities such as the LHC (CERN, Geneva) and RHIC (Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA). These collisions of heavy ions contain so much energy in such a small volume that the colliding nuclei "melt" into a plasma of quarks and gluons. This creates an exotic form of nuclear matter: the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which exists but for a fleeting moment, and can be studied through the particles that stream to the detectors. Two such particles are leptons and photons, which this research will focus on. As it was discovered that the QGP can be very well modelled by relativistic fluid dynamics, there has been a large theoretical effort to completely characterize this QGP and understand its bulk properties. One of the aims of the McGill group is to obtain a value for the shear and bulk viscosities of the plasma: those are transport coefficients linked to fundamental properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the nuclear strong interaction. The production of photons and dileptons can be used as probes to study these transport coefficients as they are emitted throughout the out-of-equilibrium evolution of the QGP medium, as well as within thermal equilibrium. In order for such studies to be done, the electromagnetic signal from the pre-equilibrium phase needs to be quantified, which is the topic of this thesis. Using kinetic theory, the production rate of dileptons and photons was calculated for both thermal equilibrium and pre-equilibrium cases. In the thermal equilibrium case, results of the numerical integration of the differential dilepton and photon production rates were matched to the analytical solution. For the out-of-equilibrium case, transport equations derived within the diffusion approximation of the Boltzmann equation were solved numerically to study the thermalization of quarks and gluons in quark-gluon plasma." --

Download or read book High pT Physics in the Heavy Ion Era written by Jan Rak and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimed at graduate students and researchers in the field of high-energy nuclear physics, this book provides an overview of the basic concepts of large transverse momentum particle physics, with a focus on pQCD phenomena. It examines high-pT probes of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and will serve as a handbook for those working on RHIC and LHC data analyses. Starting with an introduction and review of the field, the authors look at basic observables and experimental techniques, concentrating on relativistic particle kinematics, before moving onto a discussion about the origins of high-pT physics. The main features of high-pT physics are placed within a historical context and the authors adopt an experimental outlook, highlighting the most important discoveries leading up to the foundation of modern QCD theory. Advanced methods are described in detail, making this book especially useful for newcomers to the field.

This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents the first measurements of jets in relativistic heavy ion collisions as reported by the ATLAS Collaboration. These include the first direct observation of jet quenching through the observation of a centrality-dependent dijet asymmetry. Also, a series of jet suppression measurements are presented, which provide quantitative constraints on theoretical models of jet quenching. These results follow a detailed introduction to heavy ion physics with emphasis on the phenomenon of jet quenching and a comprehensive description of the ATLAS detector and its capabilities with regard to performing these measurements.
