Two Proton Correlations in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
Two-proton Correlation Measurements in 800 and 400 MeV/nucleon Heavy-ion Reactions

Book Description
Energy and angular correlations of two protons emitted in collisions of C + C, C + Pb, Ne + NaF, Ar + KCl, at Elabbeam = 800MeV/A, and Ne + NaF at Elabbeam = 400MeV/A have been measured. A strong correlation due to p-p quasi-elastic scattering is observed except for C + Pb where nuclear shadowing is observed. A simple model is proposed to estimate the magnitude of the knock-out process in these heavy-ion collisions.

Particle Correlations in Ultra Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
Author: Sudhir Bhardwaj
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783847304401
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
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.

Control Study of Two-particle Correlations in Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC-PHENIX
Author: Eric Vazquez

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have provided indirect measurements of jets in a heavy ion environment using the two- particle correlation method in the presence of a high-pT particle. These measurements have offered insight into the formation of a new state of dense nuclear matter called the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) through the observation of jet quenching. However, the two-particle methodology has also shown to be biased towards di-jet production near the surface of the medium being created. Here, a detailed study using the PHENIX detector is provided, in an attempt to measure a more accurate jet-induced two-particle correlation measurement than previously published and to reduce the bias observed in two-particle correlation measurements. The reduction in surface bias emission is performed via the requirement of two antipodal high-pT particles (a.k.a. "2+1" correlation) in an attempt to control the production point of the di-jet. The measurements made in Au+Au collisions when compared to p+p collisions show that the method provides additional sensitivity to the jet quenching previously observed in two-particle correlation method.

Nucleus-nucleus Collisions at Ultra-relativistic Energies
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
This paper is based on three lectures presented at the Prague Seminar on Relativistic Heavy-Ion Physics in September 1994. The first lecture, following a general introduction, focuses on three different aspects of the CERN experiment WA80. The author first presents results on global event characteristics deduced primarily from measured distributions of transverse energy and of forward energy. The purpose is to introduce the main general features of nucleus-nucleus reactions at the highest energies currently available. He highlights the role of projectile-target geometry, discusses the degree of nuclear stopping, and estimates the energy densities attained in these reactions. This discussion is followed by a presentation of one of two topics that are unique to the WA80 experiment and which are not addressed by any of the other CERN collaborations that study nucleus-nucleus reactions: direct measurements of photons. The second topic unique to WA80, measurements of proton-proton correlations in the target-fragmentation region, is covered in the first part of the second lecture. The remainder of the second lecture is devoted to a selective overview of results obtained at the AGS accelerator of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The third lecture is devoted to a discussion of the two main experiments, STAR and PHENIX, planned for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, RHIC, under construction at BNL.

Analysis of Multiparticle Bose-Einstein Correlations in Ultra-relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

Pages : 32
Book Description
We introduce the coalescence variables, a set of three boost-invariant kinematic quantities which may be used in analyzing n-particle correlations. These variables characterize the invariant mass of an n-particle and in three directions and separate the timelike and spacelike characteristics of the source. The analytic Kolehmanien-Gyulassy model is generalized to give two, three, and four-particle correlation functions, with coherence and Coulomb corrections applied to the basic formalism. We demonstrate the relation of the coalescence variables to be radius and duration of the source, and find that for sufficiently large transverse radii, Coulomb effects can suppress the structure of the Hanbury-Brown-Twiss correlations so that no significant information on source size can be obtained. 11 refs., 10 figs.
