Azimuthal Asymmetry in Transverse Energy Flow in Nuclear Collisions at High Energies
نویسنده
چکیده
The azimuthal pattern of transverse energy flow in nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is considered. We show that the probability distribution of the event-by-event azimuthal disbalance in transverse energy flow is essentially sensitive to the presence of the semihard minijet component.

Angular Pattern of Minijet Transverse Energy Flow in Hadron and Nuclear Collisions
The azimuthal asymmetry of minijet system produced at the early stage of nucleon-nucleon and nuclear collisions in a central rapidity window is studied. We show that in pp collisions the minijet transverse energy production in a central rapidity window is essentially unbalanced in azimuth due to asymmetric contributions in which only one minijet hits the acceptance window. We further study the ...

The azimuthal asymmetry of the minijet system produced in nucleon-nucleon and nuclear collisions in a central rapidity window is studied. We show that in pp collisions the minijet transverse energy production in a central rapidity window is essentially unbalanced in azimuth due to asymmetric contributions from one jet and two jet contributions. We show that at RHIC energy the distributions desc...
متن کاملFlow systematics from SIS to SPS energies
The various flow phenomena observed at energies between 50 AMeV and 160 AGeV are reviewed. I first define three types of flow: directed flow and elliptic flow, which are the two first Fourier components of the azimuthal distribution in non-central collisions; radial flow, which is deduced from an analysis of transverse momentum spectra in central collisions. Then, I review the observations of d...
متن کاملKaon dispersion relation and flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
Within the framework of a relativistic transport model (ART) for heavy-ion collisions at AGS energies, we examine the effects of kaon dispersion relation on the transverse flow of kaons and their transverse momentum and azimuthal angle distributions. We find that the transverse flow is the most sensitive observable for studying the kaon dispersion relation in dense medium.
متن کاملCollective flow in heavy ion collisions from SIS to SPS energies
Collective effects, such as the transverse flow of particles produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, are very important for the study of the nuclear equation of state (EOS) and for the search of a predicted transition to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). At present the transverse flow is believed to be one of the most clear signals to detect the creation of the QGP in heavy-ion experime...
