Hard scattering and jets—from p-p collisions in the 1970’s to Au+Au collisions at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
Hard scattering in p-p collisions, discovered at the CERN ISR in 1972 by the method of leading particles, proved that the partons of Deeply Inelastic Scattering strongly interacted with each other. Further ISR measurements utilizing inclusive single or pairs of hadrons established that high pT particles are produced from states with two roughly back-to-back jets which are the result of scattering of constituents of the nucleons as described by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), which was developed during the course of these measurements. These techniques, which are the only practical method to study hard-scattering and jet phenomena in Au+Au central collisions, are reviewed, with application to measurements at RHIC.

متن کاملJet Quenching at Rhic
We present high transverse momentum (p T) measurements made at the Relativis-tic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) for Au+Au, d+Au, and p+p collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV, as well as for Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 62 GeV. We observe a suppression in the yield of high p T hadrons measured in central Au+Au collisions, relative to the yield in p+p collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucl...

متن کاملStudying Jets with Identified Particles at PHENIX
A surprising excess of protons at intermediate pT , 2-5GeV/c, has been observed in Au+Au collisions at RHIC, for which the source is not known. In p+p collisions, particles at this pT arise from jet fragmentation, however the observed baryon yield in central Au+Au collisions are not compatible with the usual jet fragmentation function. Two particle ∆φ correlations are a powerful probe for quant...
متن کاملJets and Dijets in Au+Au and p+p Collisions at RHIC
Recent data from RHIC suggest novel nuclear effects in the production of high pT hadrons. We present results from the STAR detector on high pT angular correlations in Au+Au and p+p collisions at √ s = 200 GeV/c. These two-particle angular correlation measurements verify the presence of a partonic hard scattering and fragmentation component at high pT in both central and peripheral Au+Au collisi...
