Hadronic Scattering of Charm Mesons
نویسندگان
چکیده
The scattering cross sections of charm mesons with hadrons such as pion, rho meson and nucleon are studied in an effective Lagrangian. In heavy ion collisions, rescattering of produced charm mesons by hadrons affects both their transverse mass spectra and the invariant mass spectrum of dileptons resulting from their decays. These effects are estimated for heavy ion collisions at SPS energies and are found to be significant. PACS number(s): 25.75.-q, 13.75.Lb, 14.40.Lb

Effective hadronic Lagrangian for charm mesons
An effective hadronic Lagrangian including the charm mesons is introduced to study their interactions in hadronic matter. Using coupling constants that are determined either empirically or by the SU(4) symmetry, we have evaluated the absorption cross sections of J/ψ and the scattering cross sections of D and D∗ by π and ρ mesons.

The scattering cross sections of charm mesons with hadrons such as the pion, rho meson, and nucleon are studied in an effective Lagrangian. In heavy ion collisions, rescattering of produced charm mesons by hadrons affects the invariant mass spectra of both charm meson pairs and dileptons resulting from their decays. These effects are estimated for heavy ion collisions at Super Proton Synchrotro...
متن کاملCharm Meson Production from Meson-nucleon Scattering
Because of their large masses, one expects charm mesons to be mostly produced in the initial preequilibrium stage of relativistic heavy ion collisions. They have thus been suggested as possible probes of the initial dynamics in these collisions. Previous studies have been concentrated on the production of charm quarks from the preequilibrium partonic matter [1]. For charm meson production from ...
متن کاملHadronic Scatterings of Charm Mesons and Enhancement of Intermediate Mass Dileptons
Heavy quark production in hadronic reactions is reasonably well described by perturbative QCD. However, in heavy ion collisions, final-state interactions may affect the spectra of produced heavy mesons. At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a dense partonic system, often called the quark gluon plasma (QGP), is expected to be formed at the early stage. Since the QGP may induce a strong ...
متن کاملDetection of D mesons via hadronic decays in Pb–Pb collisions at LHC with ALICE
The ALICE experiment is devoted to the study of heavy-ion collisions at the CERN LHC collider. We present the results of a feasibility study for the detection of D → Kπ decays in Pb–Pb collisions with ALICE. 1 Physics motivation The aim of the ALICE [1] experiment is to study the behaviour of nuclear matter in the conditions of high densities and temperatures in which a transition to a deconfin...
