Low Momentum Direct Photons in Au+Au collisions at 39 GeV and 62.4 GeV measured by the PHENIX Experiment at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
PHENIX has measured low momentum direct photons at 200 GeV via their external conversions to di-electron pairs on a specific detector material. The advantage of this method along with the selection of this detector material is a purity to large extent in photon identification. We present the results of the measurements of low momentum direct photons at 39 GeV and 62.4 GeV based on the same external conversion method. These results, together with those obtained at 200 GeV, can help in constraining the sources of low momentum direct photons. Besides, we report on the observed scaling behavior of direct photons in terms of the photon integrated yield vs. chargedparticle multiplicity by combining the data from various collision systems at four center-of-mass energies. The direct photon scaling properties show that the strength of the thermal radiation source grows faster than the charged-particle multiplicity.

Direct Photon Production in Au+Au Collisions at RHIC-PHENIX Experiment
Direct photons have been measured with the PHENIX experiment in Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. The direct photon result obtained with PHENIX-EMCal up to 18 GeV/c is consistent with the NLO pQCD calculation scaled by the nuclear overlap function. The measurement using internal conversion of photons into ee shows the enhancement of the yield comparing with NLO pQCD calculation.

The production of electron pairs with p T between 1 and 5 GeV/c and m < 300 MeV has been measured at mid-rapidity in √ s N N = 200 GeV p + p and Au+Au collisions by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. A significant excess above the hadronic background was observed in both p + p and Au+Au collisions. Treating the excess as internal conversion of direct photons, the direct photon yield in Au+Au was fo...

The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has measured ω and φ mesons in p+ p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV via both hadronic and di-electron decay channels. The transverse momentum spectra as measured in different decay modes and at different centralities are shown

Results from the PHENIX experiment on direct-photon production in Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV for transverse momenta 1 . pT . 13 GeV/c are presented. Direct-photon yields at high pT scale as expected for particle production in hard processes. This supports jetquenching models which attribute the suppression of high-pT hadrons to the energy loss of fast partons in the quark-gluon plasma....
