Identified Particle Production in p + p , d + Au , and Au + Au Collisions at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
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 runs at √ sNN = 200 GeV. In this work we present a systematic study of the Cronin effect in d+Au collisions and recent results from p+p collisions. We then proceed to make a critical comparison of pion, kaon and proton production in heavy ion and baseline systems, and discuss the observed nuclear effects on hadron production.

Brahms Overview
A brief review of BRAHMS measurements of bulk particle production in RHIC Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200GeV is presented, together with some discussion of baryon number transport. Intermediate pT measurements in different collision systems (Au+Au, d+Au and p+p) are also discussed in the context of jet quenching and saturation of the gluon density in Au ions at RHIC energies. This report also i...
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 کاملIdentified particle production in p+p and d+Au collisions at RHIC
The BRAHMS experiment at RHIC has measured the transverse momentum spectra of charged pions, kaons and (anti-)protons over a wide range of rapidity in d+Au and p+p collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. The nuclear modification factor RdAu at forward rapidities shows a clear suppression for π . The measured netproton yields in p+p collisions are compared to PYTHIA and HIJING/B and seem to be better des...
متن کاملD+au Collisions at Star the Curves Are Nlo Pqcd Calculations Using Cteq6m Pdfs and Kkp
STAR has measured forward π 0 production in p+p and d+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV. The p+p yield generally agrees with NLO pQCD calculations. The d+Au yield is strongly suppressed at η = 4.0, well below shadowing expectations. Exploratory measurements of azimuthal correlations between forward π 0 and mid-rapidity charged hadrons show a recoil peak in p+p that is suppressed in d+Au at low ...
متن کاملResults on High p T Particle Production from the PHENIX Experiment at RHIC
Transverse momentum (p T) spectra of neutral pions and charged hadrons measured in Au+Au and d+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC are compared to p+p reference spectra at the same √ s NN. In central Au+Au collisions a factor 4 − 5 suppression for neutral pions and charged hadrons with p T > 5 GeV/c is found relative to the p+p reference scaled by the nuclear over...
