Baryon deceleration by strong chromofields in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions
It is assumed that strong chromofields are generated at early stages of ultrarelativistic heavyion collisions which give rise to a collective deceleration of net baryons from colliding nuclei. We have solved classical equations of motion for baryonic slabs under the action of a time-dependent longitudinal chromoelectric field. It is demonstrated that the slab final rapidities are rather sensiti...
متن کاملHydrogen-like Atoms from Ultrarelativistic Nuclear Collisions
The number of hydrogen-like atoms produced when heavy nuclei collide is estimated for central collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider using the sudden approximation of Baym et al. As first suggested by Schwartz, a simultaneous measurement of the hydrogen and hadron spectra will allow an inference of the electron or muon spectra at low momentum where a direct experimental measurement i...
متن کاملMatter in extremis: Ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC
We review the physics of nuclear matter at high energy density and the experimental search for the Quark-Gluon Plasma at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The data obtained in the first three years of the RHIC physics program provide several lines of evidence that a novel state of matter has been created in the most violent, head-on collisions of Au nuclei at √ s = 200 GeV. Jet quench...
متن کاملStrangeness in Ultrarelativistic Nuclear Collisions
Production of strangeness was among the first observables studied in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions in the search for quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The transition into plasma phase was expected to facilitate strangeness production and lead to its enhanced abundance [1]. It is namely rather costly to produce strangeness in a hadronic system; the lowest threshold which is about 530 MeV above th...
متن کاملTwo Phase Simulation of Ultrarelativistic Nuclear Collisions
A two phase cascade is presented for the treatment of ultra-high energy ion-ion collisions from √ s = 17 − 200 GeV. First a high energy, fast cascade is performed, in which original baryons and freed hard partons, if any, collide. This stage ignores energy loss from soft (slow) processes. In this first version in fact, no hard processes, aside from Drell-Yan production, are included. The space-...
