Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this article we summarize recent results on the study of Au+Au collisions at 10.8A GeV/c obtained at the AGS by the E877 Collaboration. New results on the directed sideward flow are presented. In particular, the dependence of proton and pion production on the direction of the reaction plane will be discussed. It is shown that the sideward flow is mainly due to nucleons and that pions show little flow effects. Two-pion correlation functions are studied to derive the density at freeze-out. Further, we inspect the correlations as a function of the pion direction relative to the reaction plane. A dependence of the deduced source sizes on the pair direction and momentum is observed. The measured source sizes are compared to results obtained in lighter systems. Measured m[sub t] spectra of pions and kaons are also presented. The pion spectra show an enhancement at low m[sub t] similar to that observed in Si+Pb and which was attributed to[triangle] resonance excitation. However, in contrast to Si+Pb now a clear difference between the[pi][sup+] and[pi][sup -] spectra is seen. The K[sup+] spectra, which showed a very steep component over a small p[sub t] range in the previously studied Si+Pb reaction exhibit for Au+Au an unexpected structure at very low p[sub t].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Particle production was measured by the E866 forward spectrometer. It was reported earlier in our publication that a correlation between particle ratios and the asymmetry of energy deposition in zero degree calorimeter(ZCAL) was found. To further investigate the azimuthal asymmetry analysis, the forward hodoscope (HODO) was incorporated and the correlation between the particle production and the ''reaction plane'' will be discussed. Preliminary analysis shows enhanced in- plain proton production.

Book excerpt: Measurements are presented of single particle spectra from Au targets using the recently commissioned Au-beam at 11.6 GeV/c per nucleon from the BNL Tandem-Booster-AGS accelerator facilities. Protons and deuterons were detected with the measuring the 25msr E-802 spectrometer. Collision centrality was determined by measuring the forward energy in a calorimeter subtending a 1.2[degrees] cone about 0[degrees]. Some comparisons with the cascade code ARC have been made.
Download or read book Identified Particle Transverse Momentum Distributions from AU AU Collisions at 62 4 GeV Per Nucleon Pair written by Conor Henderson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transverse momentum (PT) distributions for pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons have been measured near mid-rapidity for Au+Au collisions at sNN = 62.4 GeV using the PHOBOS detector at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) in Brookhaven National Laboratory. Particle identification is performed using the PHOBOS Time-of-Flight plastic scintillator walls and specific energy loss in the multi-layer silicon Spectrometer, which is also used for track reconstruction and momentum-determination. The spectra are corrected for all detector-dependent effects, including feed-down from weak decays. At PT 3 GeV/c, protons are measured to be the dominant species of charged hadrons and scale much faster with respect to collision centrality than mesons. This behaviour at 62.4 GeV is found to be remarkably similar to that observed in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV, an interesting observation which should serve as an important constraint on the various mechanisms which have been proposed to describe particle production over this PT range. Baryon stopping, the transport of baryon number from intial beam rapidity, is explored through the net proton (p - p) yields at mid-rapidity. These results fill a large gap between the SPS and higher RHIC energies and as such form an important set of data for comparing to models of baryon transport mechanisms.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the primary challenges in modern nuclear physics is to understand the properties of hot nuclear matter. The expectation is that at sufficiently high energy densities, nuclear matter undergoes a phase transition where individual nucleons 'dissolve' and a plasma of freely moving quarks and gluons is formed. To accomplish this in the laboratory, normal nuclear matter is heated and compressed through collisions of heavy nuclei at relativistic energies. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a dedicated particle accelerator, capable of colliding nuclear beams to energies up to 100 GeV per nucleon per beam. Particle species ranging from protons (A =1) to gold (A =197) are accelerated in this state-of-the-art facility and collide at selected intersection points. In this dissertation, a detailed transverse momentum (p T) analysis is made at central rapidities, using the STAR Time Projection Chamber (TPC). The data set is comprised of about 10 million d+Au and about 6 million p+p events at 200 GeV. Previously analyzed data from a 2002 Au+Au run are also used. This work concentrates on the study of identified charged kaons (K +, K - ), which are the lightest strange mesons and hence the particles that dominate strangeness production. Charged kaons are identified using a topological reconstruction method which has relatively large p T coverage. In this dissertation, we present p T and yield systematics. We find that the particle to anti-particle ratio is p T independent in all colliding systems studied, an indication that in the p T range studied, the pQCD regime is not reached yet. The ratios, close to unity, signal a rather net-baryon-free mid-rapidity region. The in central d+Au collisions is larger than in peripheral Au+Au collisions, which might hint at the presence of 'Cronin effect' in the dAu system as explained. We also obtain results on nuclear modification factors (R dA CP - central to peripheral ratio, R dA, R AA - geometrically scaled Au+Au(d+Au) to p+p ratios) which are presented for various mesons and baryons. In d+Au collisions, an enhancement compared to binary scaling of both R dA CP and R dA is observed, an experimental observation called 'Cronin effect'. This result is thought to be an initial-state effect. In contrast, the same ratio in central Au+Au collisions exhibits a suppression instead of an enhancement. This was understood in terms of a dense partonic medium which induces energy loss via gluon radiation by a high-energy parton traversing the medium, and leads, after fragmentation, to hadrons with lower . The meson-baryon differences, first observed in Au+Au R AA CP, also exist in d+Au collisions.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We determine rapidity asymmetry in the production of charged pions, protons and anti-protons for large transverse momentum (p{sub T}) for d+Au collisions at √s{sub NN} = 200 GeV. The rapidity asymmetry is defined as the ratio of particle yields at backward rapidity (Au beam direction or -ve rapidity) to those at forward rapidity (d beam direction or +ve rapidity). The identified hadrons are measured in the rapidity regions.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bose-Einstein correlations of??+ and?−?− pairs collected by the BNL-E866 Forward Spectrometer in 11.6 A·GeV/c Au + Au collisions have been measured. The data were analyzed using three-dimensional correlation functions parameterized by the Yano-Koonin-Potgoretskii and Bertsch-Pratt formalism to study transverse momentum dependent source parameters. Rapid decreases of longitudinal source radii and slower decreases in the transverse parameters with increasing transverse momentum were observed, which suggests a strong longitudinal and some transverse expansion. A freeze-out time?0 was derived as 4.5--5 fm/c, under the assumption of the freeze-out temperature T = 130 MeV, and the duration of emission was found to be?? H"2--4 fm/c.
