Book Description
The STAR collaboration at RHIC presents measurements of J/[psi] → e+e− at mid-rapidity and high transverse momentum (p{sub T} > 5 GeV/c) in p+p and central Cu+Cu collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. The inclusive J/[psi] production cross section for Cu+Cu collisions is found to be consistent at high p{sub T} with the binary collision-scaled cross section for p+p collisions, in contrast to previous measurements at lower p{sub T}, where a suppression of J/[psi] production is observed relative to the expectation from binary scaling. Azimuthal correlations of J/[psi] with charged hadrons in p+p collisions provide an estimate of the contribution of B-meson decays to J/[psi] production of 13% ± 5%.

Open Heavy Flavor Measurement at Forward Angles for Cu+Cu Collisions at Center of Mass NN Collision Energy 200 GeV

Book Description
The main purpose of Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) program is to study the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), a deconfined state of matter believed to be created in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. Heavy quarks, expected to be produced during the earlier stages of heavy ion collisions, serve as an important probe of the QGP. The following dissertation presents measurements of single muons resulting from the semileptonic decay of heavy avor quarks in the rapidity range of 1:4

Pages : 110
Book Description
The differential cross-section d[sigma]/dx[sub F] for J/[psi] production in 800 GeV proton-nucleus collisions has been measured in the kinematic range 0.30 [le] x[sub F] [le] 0.95 and x[sub F] [lt] p[perpendicular] [lt] 5 GeV through the decay mode J/[psi] [yields] [mu][sup +][mu][sup [minus]]. The nuclear dependence of J/[psi] production over this range was measured using copper and beryllium targets. The differential cross sections are in good agreement with the predictions of the symbolical parton duality model. The data show no evidence for an intrinsic charm component in the proton. The ratio of the differential cross sections for copper and beryllium shows a suppression of J/[psi] production in copper which increases with increasing x[sub F].

Measurement of J/[psi] and [psi](2S) at Forward and Backward Rapidity in P+p, P+Al, P+Au, and 3He+Au Collisions at √snn

ISBN:
Category : Nuclear physics
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
Suppression of the J/psi nuclear modification factor has been seen as a trademark signature of final state effects in large collision systems for decades. In small systems, the nuclear modification was attributed to cold nuclear matter effects until the observation of strong differential suppression of the psi(2S) state in p/d+A collisions suggested the presence of final state effects. Results of J/psi and psi(2S) measurements in the dimuon decay channel are presented here for a collection of different small systems at the same collision energy. These small systems include: p+p, p+Al, p+Au and 3He+Au at collision energy square root s_NN = 200 GeV. The results are predominantly shown in the form of the nuclear modification factor, R_AB, the ratio of the J/psi or psi(2S) invariant yield per nucleon-nucleon collision in collisions of projectile A on target B to that in p+p collisions. Measurements of the J/psi and psi(2S) nuclear modification factor are then compared with shadowing and transport model predictions, as well as to complementary measurements at LHC energies.

J/psi Production in Au-Au Collisions at Square Root (s/sub NN)

Book Description
This thesis presents the first J/psi production analysis of Au+Au reactions at forward rapidity at [square root]sNN = 200 GeV. In the second year of RHIC running, design energy was achieved in the collisions of both Au+Au ions and proton+proton reactions. The production of the J/psi is measured by the PHENIX experiment in Au+Au collisions as well as in proton-proton collisions. The scientific goal is to investigate the nature of hot, dense nuclear matter capitalizing on the unique properties of the J/psi as a probe of this matter. Recent experimental results by the NA50 collaboration at CERN strongly deviate from the conventional picture that successfully describes data at lower energies. The importance of such a measurement is demonstrated by the wide spectrum of theoretical explanations concerning the existing data. The merits of these models will be explored in a systematic and comprehensive study of the J/psi and open charm in collisions of a variety of species and energy. A survey of the theoretical models is presented and the relevant open charm and J/psi PHENIX measurements are compared.
