Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we present a systematic study of charged pion and kaon interferometry in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV. The kaon mean source radii are found to be larger than pion radii in the outward and longitudinal directions for the same transverse mass; this difference increases for more central collisions. The azimuthal-angle dependence of the radii was measured with respect to the second-order event plane and similar oscillations of the source radii were found for pions and kaons. Finally, hydrodynamic models qualitatively describe the similar oscillations of the mean source radii for pions and kaons, but they do not fully describe the transverse-mass dependence of the oscillations.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collective behavior has been observed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions for several decades. Collectivity is driven by the high particle multiplicities that are produced in these collisions. At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), features of collectivity have also been seen in high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions that can attain particle multiplicities comparable to peripheral Pb-Pb collisions. One of the possible signatures of collective behavior is the decrease of femtoscopic radii extracted from pion and kaon pairs emitted from high-multiplicity collisions with increasing pair transverse momentum. This decrease can be described in terms of an approximate transverse mass scaling. In the present work, femtoscopic analyses are carried out by the ALICE collaboration on charged pion and kaon pairs produced in pp collisions at s√=13 TeV from the LHC to study possible collectivity in pp collisions. The event-shape analysis method based on transverse sphericity is used to select for spherical versus jet-like events, and the effects of this selection on the femtoscopic radii for both charged pion and kaon pairs are studied. This is the first time this selection method has been applied to charged kaon pairs. An approximate transverse-mass scaling of the radii is found in all multiplicity ranges studied when the difference in the Lorentz boost for pions and kaons is taken into account. This observation does not support the hypothesis of collective expansion of hot and dense matter that should only occur in high-multiplicity events. A possible alternate explanation of the present results is based on a scenario of common emission conditions for pions and kaons in pp collisions for the multiplicity ranges studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we have studied the dependence of azimuthal anisotropy v2 for inclusive and identified charged hadrons in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions on collision energy, species, and centrality. The values of v2 as a function of transverse momentum pT and centrality in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200 and 62.4 GeV are the same within uncertainties. However, in Cu+Cu collisions we observe a decrease in v2 values as the collision energy is reduced from 200 to 62.4 GeV. The decrease is larger in the more peripheral collisions. By examining both Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions we find that v2 depends both on eccentricity and the number of participants, Npart. We observe that v2 divided by eccentricity (?) monotonically increases with Npart and scales as N1/3part. Thus, the Cu+Cu data at 62.4 GeV falls below the other scaled v2 data. For identified hadrons, v2 divided by the number of constituent quarks nq is independent of hadron species as a function of transverse kinetic energy KET=mT–m between 0.1KEsubT/sub/nsubq/sub1 GeV. Finally, combining all of the above scaling and normalizations, we observe a near-universal scaling, with the exception of the Cu+Cu data at 62.4 GeV, of vsub2/sub/(nsubq/sub∙????????Nsup1/3/supsubpart/sub) vs KEsubT/sub/n

Book excerpt: We present a systematic analysis of two-pion interferometry in Au+Au collisions at (square root)sNN = 62.4 GeV and Cu+Cu collisions at (square root)sNN = 62.4 and 200 GeV using the STAR detector at RHIC. The multiplicity and transverse momentum dependences of the extracted correlation lengths (radii) are studied. The scaling with charged particle multiplicity of the apparent system volume at final interaction is studied for the RHIC energy domain. The multiplicity scaling of the measured correlation radii is found to be independent of colliding system and collision energy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mid-rapidity transverse mass spectra and multiplicity densities of charged and neutral kaons are reported for Au+Au collisions at √s{sub NN}=130 GeV at RHIC. The spectra are exponential in transverse mass, with an inverse slope of about 280 MeV in central collisions. The multiplicity densities for these particles scale with the negative hadron pseudo-rapidity density. The charged kaon to pion ratios are K/?− = 0.161 ± 0.002(stat) ± 0.024(syst) and K−/?− = 0.146 ± 0.002(stat) ± 0.022(syst) for the most central collisions. The K+/?− ratio is lower than the same ratio observed at the SPS while the K−/?− is higher than the SPS result. Both ratios are enhanced by about 50% relative to p+p and {bar p}+p collision data at similar energies.

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 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The size of the particle emission region in high-energy collisions can be deduced using the femtoscopic correlations of particle pairs at low relative momentum. Such correlations arise due to quantum statistics and Coulomb and strong final state interactions. In this paper, results are presented from femtoscopic analyses of [pi]± [pi]±, K± K±, K$0\atop{S}$K$0\atop{S}$, pp, and $\overline{p}$ $\overline{p}$ correlations from Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV by the ALICE experiment at the LHC. One-dimensional radii of the system are extracted from correlation functions in terms of the invariant momentum difference of the pair. The comparison of the measured radii with the predictions from a hydrokinetic model is discussed. The pion and kaon source radii display a monotonic decrease with increasing average pair transverse mass mT which is consistent with hydrodynamic model predictions for central collisions. Lastly, the kaon and proton source sizes can be reasonably described by approximate mT scaling.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: We perform a systematic study of elliptic flow ( v 2 ) in Au+Au collisions at s NN = 5 GeV by using a microscopic transport model, JAM. The centrality, pseudorapidity, transverse momentum and beam energy dependence of v 2 for charged as well as identified hadrons are studied. We investigate the effects of both the hadronic mean-field and the softening of equation of state (EoS) on elliptic flow. The softening of the EoS is realized by imposing attractive orbits in two body scattering, which can reduce the pressure of the system. We found that the softening of the EoS leads to the enhancement of v 2, while the hadronic mean-field suppresses v 2 relative to the cascade mode. It indicates that elliptic flow at high baryon density regions is highly sensitive to the EoS and the enhancement of v 2 may probe the signature of a first-order phase transition in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies of a strong baryon stopping region.
