A Comparison between an Ultra-relativistic Au+au Collision and the Primordial Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
Ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions create a state of matter of high temperature and small baryo-chemical potential, which is similar to the thermodynamical conditions in the primordial universe. Recent analyses of Au+Au collisions at RHIC revealed the temperature, size and density of the system. Thus, a comparison to the primordial universe can be attempted. In particular, two observables shall be investigated, namely (1) the temperature at baryon freeze-out (t≃10 fm/c in the Au+Au collision) and (2) the matter density at the partonic stage (t≤1 fm/c).

ct 2 00 4 High p T hadron spectra at RHIC : an overview
Abstract. Recent results on high transverse momentum (pT ) hadron production in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are reviewed. Comparison of the nuclear modification factors, RdAu(pT ) and RAA(pT ), demonstrates that the large suppression in central Au+Au collisions is due to strong final-state effects. Theoretical models which incorporate jet quenchi...
متن کاملLow-mass dielectrons from the PHENIX experiment at RHIC
The production of the low-mass dielectrons is considered to be a powerful tool to study the properties of the hot and dense matter created in the ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We present the preliminary results on the first measurements of the low-mass dielectron continuum in Au+ Au collisions and the φ meson production measured in Au+Au and d+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV perfor...
متن کاملAu+Au Collisions at RHIC and implications for ultra-relativistic astrophysical A+A collisions
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York, USA, has a circumference of 3833 m and uses 1740 superconducting magnets [1]. Fig. 1 shows the RHIC accelerator complex. The main objective of RHIC is the investigation of novel QCD phenomena at high density and high temperature in ultra-relativistic Au+Au collisions. The highest center-of-mass energy √ s=20...
متن کاملMagma and mineralization controles of Zavarian (Salafchegan) epithermal Au (Cu) in comparison with Sari-Gunay epitermal Au (Qorveh) deposit
Zavarian epitermal gold (copper) deposit is located in an intracontinental volcanic cone (stratovolcano) with the Early Miocene age, in the middle of the Urmia-Dokhtar magmatic arc. The host rocks of this mineralization include a set of basaltic, andesitic-basaltic, andesitic, dacitic, as well as granodiorite and tonal units that have been exposed in volcanic form (lava and pyroclastic) and sem...
متن کاملEnergy Dependence Systematics of Strange and Multi-strange Particle Production
We present results on systematic measurements of strange and multi-strange particles with the STAR detector for center of mass energies per nucleon pair ( √ sNN ) of 62.4 and 200 GeV in ultra-relativistic Au+Au collisions at RHIC. We use these results to characterize the chemical and kinetic freeze-out properties of the fireball produced by the collision. This is done by comparison to statistic...
