Systematics of Global Observables in Cu+Cu and Au+Au Collisions at RHIC Energies
نویسنده
چکیده
Charged particles produced in Cu+Cu collisions at √ sNN = 200 and 62.4 GeV have been measured in the PHOBOS experiment at RHIC. The comparison of the results for Cu+Cu and Au+Au for the most central collisions at the same energy reveals that the particle density per nucleon participant pair and the extended longitudinal scaling behavior are similar in both systems. This implies that for the most central events in symmetric nucleus-nucleus collisions the particle density per nucleon participant pair does not depend on the size of the two colliding nuclei but only on the collision energy. Also the extended longitudinal scaling seems independent of the colliding energy and species for central collisions. In addition, there is an overall factorization of dNch/dη shapes as a function of collision centrality between Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at the same energy.

The PHENIX Potential in the Search for the QCD Critical Point
With the measurement of several observables at SPS energies that demonstrate non-monotonic behavior as a function of centrality and √ sNN , there is growing interest in pursuing a scan of relativistic heavy ion collisions at low energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The capabilities of the PHENIX experiment to take quality measurements at low RHIC energies is described and directly d...
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...

The elliptic flow v2 is presented for the Cu+Cu collisions at √ sNN = 62.4 and 200 GeV, as a function of pseudorapidity. Comparison to results for the Au+Au collisions at the same energies shows a reduction of about 20% in the flow observed for a centrality selection of 0-40%. The centrality dependent flow, expressed as a function of the number of participants Npart, is compared for the Cu+Cu a...
متن کاملAntiparticle to particle ratios and identified hadron spectra in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions
New results on antiparticle to particle ratios in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 62.4 and 200 GeV from the PHOBOS experiment at RHIC are presented. Transverse momentum spectra of pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons from Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 62.4 GeV close to mid-rapidity are also discussed. Antiparticle to particle ratios are found to be remarkably independent of the collision...
متن کاملFrom RHIC to LHC: A relativistic diffusion approach
We investigate the energy dependence of stopping and hadron production in high-energy heavy-ion collisions based on a three-sources Relativistic Diffusion Model. The transport coefficients are extrapolated from Au + Au and Cu + Cu at RHIC energies ( √ sNN=19.6 200 GeV) to Pb + Pb at LHC energies √ sNN= 5.52 TeV. Rapidity distributions for net protons, and pseudorapidity spectra for produced cha...
