Download or read book Introduction To Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics written by Bartke Jerzy and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2008-12-22 with total page 240 pages. 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.

Download or read book Heavy Ion Physics At Low Intermediate And Relativistic Energies Using 4pi Detectors Proceedings Of The International Research Workshop written by M Petrovici and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997-10-13 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proceedings volume gives a consistent overview of various theoretical and experimental programs which study the dynamics of nucleus-nucleus collisions from low to ultra-relativistic energies. The contributions concentrate on the following topics: cold fragmentation of nuclear matter, pre-equilibrium and thermalization, thermal and chemical equilibration, fragmentation and correlations in intermediate energy collisions, dynamical properties of hot and dense nuclear matter in medium effects, resonance and strange nuclear matter, and signals of the deconfined state.High quality data obtained using experimental devices close to 4π geometries and recent theoretical developments are presented. They illustrate the significant progress made during the last few years in understanding the properties of nuclear matter in extreme conditions of pressure and temperature.This book serves as a graduate textbook and as a reference work on recent developments in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much can be learned about the quark-gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions by studying the particles produced. In addition to particles being created from the energy released, these collisions are expected to produce very strong magnetic fields. Although these fields only exist for a tiny fraction of a second, their existence may influence particle production. I will present a theoretical analysis of heavy quarkonia subjected to a very strong magnetic field and an experimental search for hypertriton, an exotic, unstable isotope of hydrogen. For the theoretical part of my dissertation, I model the interaction of a heavy quark-antiquark pair using a non-relativistic Hamiltonian. The Schrodinger equation is solved numerically using the model Hamiltonian including spin-spin, spin-orbit, and tensor interactions. I will present the energy eigenstates as a function of the external magnetic field for all 1s and 1p bottomonium and charmonium states. A very strong magnetic field is expected to modify the masses of quarkonia enough to be measured in modern collider experiments and may help to explain the suppression of J/¿ mesons observed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The changes in mass are due to the interaction with the magnetic field as well as the mixing between spin states. For the experimental part of my dissertation, I look for evidence of a hypertriton decaying into a deuteron, proton and pion. Hypertritons are created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the decay products are observed using the STAR detectors. The relativistic invariant mass of the hypertriton candidates is calculated using energy-momentum conservation of the decay products. The resulting invariant mass spectrum is then examined for an abundance of candidates near the known hypertriton mass. Although the combinatorial background for a three-body decay is much larger than for a two-body decay, the large amount of data acquired in recent years combined with the higher branching ratio for the three-body decay makes it reasonable to expect that a good signal can be extracted.

This book was released on 1995-02-22 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major developments have taken place during the last few years in the study of the nuclear paradigm as a result of recent detector and accelerator developments, and of improved theoretical models.The active use of 4-π detectors to measure the gamma decay of excited nuclei has been instrumental in exploring the consequences of extremely high rotational frequencies and excitation energies in the nuclear structure. The identification of superdeformed bands, of limiting temperature for the detection of giant resonances, and of rotational damping, are conspicuous examples of this novel type of research. Studies of the disassembling of the nucleus have been systematically carried out, and the results interpreted in terms of transport models.At even higher temperatures one expects to have a completely new regime of hot dense matter, where the hadronic properties become strongly renormalized by the medium.Furthermore, studies of the properties of the nucleon as a many-body system of quarks and gluons displaying collective degrees of freedom which are damped by couplings to more complicated states, are providing a detailed and consistent picture of the nuclear paradigm.Important progress is also taking place in situations essentially opposite to the scenarios described above, namely in the study of correlations in nuclear matter at very low temperature and density.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NATO Advanced Study Institute on The Nuclear Equatioo of State was held at Peiiiscola Spain from May 22- June 3, 1989. The school was devoted to the advances, theoretical and experimental, made during the past fifteen years in the physics of nuclear matter under extreme conditions, such as high compression and high temperature. Moie than 300 people had applied for participatio- this demonstrates the tremendous interest in the various subjects presented at the school. Indeed, the topic of this school, namely the Nuclear Equatioo of State, • plays the central role in high energy heavy ion collisions; • contains the intriguing possibilities of various phase transitions (gas - vapor, meson condensation, quark - gluon plasma); • plays an important role in the static and dynamical behavior of stars, especially in supernova explosions and in neutron star stability. The investigation on the nuclear equation of state can only be accomplished in the laboratory by compressing and heating up nuclear matter and the only mechanism known to date to achieve this goal is through shock compression and -heating in violent high energy heavy ion collisions. This key mechanism has been proposed and highly disputed in of high energy heavy ion physics, the early 70's. It plays a central role in the whole field and particularly in our discussions during the two weeks at Peiiiscola.
