Collisional Energy Loss of Fast Charged Particles in Relativistic Plasmas
Following an argument by Kirzhnits we rederive an exact expression for the energy loss of a fast charged particle in a relativistic plasma using the quantum field theoretical language. We compare this result to perturbative calculations of the collisional energy loss of an energetic electron or muon in an electron-positron plasma and of an energetic parton in the quark-gluon plasma.
متن کاملCharged particle rapidity distributions at relativistic energies
Using a multiphase transport model ~AMPT!, which includes both initial partonic and final hadronic interactions, we study the rapidity distributions of charged particles such as protons, antiprotons, pions, and kaons in heavy ion collisions at RHIC. The theoretical results for the total charged particle multiplicity at midrapidity are consistent with those measured by the PHOBOS Collaboration i...
متن کاملCharged-Particle Interactions: Radiation Loss, Range
The sudden deflection of an electron by the Coulomb field of nuclei can cause the electron to radiate, producing a continuous spectrum of x-rays called bremsstrahlung. The fraction of electron energy converted into bremsstrahlung increases with increasing electron energy and is greater for media of high atomic number. (This process is important in the production of x-rays in conventional x-ray ...
متن کاملMaximum Particle Energy by Fermi Acceleration in Relativistic Flows
An expression for maximum accelerated particle energy Emax due to the firstorder shock-Fermi process is generalized to relativistic flows. Given the Bohm diffusion approximation and a mean ISM magnetic field of 3μG, then Emax ≈ 8 × 10β0Z(m⊙/n0) 1/3 eV for an uncollimated explosion expanding into a uniform medium with density n0. The initial flow speed of the explosion is β0c, and the total ejec...
متن کاملCharged particle identification in the ALICE experiment
A key feature of the ALICE experiment will be the capability to identify the charged particles in the full range of momentum thus allowing to investigate the properties of the quark-gluon plasma during its dynamical evolution toward the freeze-out phase when the re-hadronization occurs. Low momentum hadron identification will be achieved via measurements of energy loss in the silicon layers of ...
