Systematic Study of Identified Particle Production in PHENIX
نویسنده
چکیده
Large enhancement of (anti)protons relative to pions has been observed at intermediate p T ∼ 2-5 GeV/c in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC. To investigate the possible source of this baryon enhancement, we performed a systematic study of identified hadron spectra in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV, and Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 62.4 GeV. The data set allows us to study the energy dependence and system size dependence of the baryon enhancement. We also compare the nuclear modification factors on hadron production in two different collision systems.

Systematic Study of Particle Production at High pT with the PHENIX Experiment
A systematic study of particle production at large transverse momentum (pT ) with the PHENIX experiment at RHIC is shown. We demonstrate that the suppression of the yield of high pT hadrons in central Au+Au collisions compared to the scaled p+p reference persists up to highest pT for neutral pions and η mesons. A similar suppression pattern is also observed in Cu+Cu collisions at the same energ...
متن کاملIdentified Particle Production in p + p , d + Au , and Au + Au Collisions at RHIC
Measurements of identified particle production with the PHENIX experiment at RHIC have reached a mature state, where a multitude of nuclear systems at different colliding energies have been studied. The discovery configurations of √ sNN = 130 and 200 GeV Au+Au collisions have now been supplemented by additional Au+Au and Cu+Cu configurations at various energies, along with baseline p+p and d+Au...
متن کاملJet Correlations with Identified Particles from PHENIX : Methods and Results
Azimuthal angle two particle correlations have been shown to be a powerful probe for extracting novel features of the interaction between hard scattered partons and the medium produced in Au+Au collisions at RHIC. At intermediate pT , 2-5GeV/c, the jets have been shown to be significantly modified in both their particle composition and their angular distribution compared to p+p collisions. Addi...
متن کاملNeutral Meson Measurement at Phenix
Measurements from the RHIC experiments show strong suppression of high-pT hadrons in central Au+Au collisions. The PHENIX experiment has observed strong suppression of π0 and charged hadron yields in central Au+Au collisions for pT > 5 GeV/c regardless of pT and particle species. The observed suppression is interpreted in terms of energy loss of quarks in a high-density medium. The PHENIX Year-...
متن کاملMeasurement of Double Helicity Asymmetry in Multi-Particle Production with Polarized Proton-Proton Collision at PHENIX
A goal of the PHENIX experiment is to obtain the polarized gluon distribution function in the proton. Double helicity asymmetry in multi-particle production with polarized proton-proton collision is measured at midrapidity with RHIC Run 2005 data. This result excludes the maximum positive gluon polarization (“GRSV-max”).
