Intrinsic Broadening of the Transverse Momentum Spectra in Ultrarelativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mean transverse momentum in high energy nuclear collisions is studied. The formation of a Color Glass Condensate results in an increase of the square of the mean transverse momentum with the charged multiplicity per unit rapidity and unit transverse area. This prediction is in agreement with the presently available data, in particular with the heavy-ion data, lending support to the notion that the transverse momentum spectra in ultrarelativistic collisions of heavy nuclei might be controlled by intrinsic pT broadening and not by hadronic rescattering, i.e. transverse flow.

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, in the 2 GeV< p ⊥ < 6 GeV transverse momentum region, the soft and semi-hard multiple scattering of the incoming nucleons in the nuclear medium results in the broadening of the expected hadronic (e.g. pion) p ⊥ spectra relative to proton-proton (pp) collisions. Thus, higher transverse-momentum regions are populated than in pp collisions. In a perturbat...

The simple method for simulation of “thermal” hadron spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions including longitudinal, transverse and elliptic flow is developed. The model is realized as fast Monte-Carlo event generator.
متن کاملDissipation in the very early stage of the hydrodynamic evolution in relativistic heavy ion collisions
We propose a modification of the hydrodynamic model of the dynamics in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions. A modification of the energymomentum tensor at the initial stage describes the lack of isotropization of the pressure. Subsequently, the pressure is relaxing towards the equilibrium isotropic form in the local comoving frame. Within the Bjorken scaling solution a bound is found on the de...

Secondary phi meson peak as an indicator of QCD phase transition in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions Abstract In a previous paper, we have shown that a double phi peak structure appears in the dilepton invariant mass spectrum if a first order QCD phase transition occurs in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Furthermore, the transition temperature can be determined from the transverse...
