Particle production at RHIC energies
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents recent results from the BRAHMS experiment at RHIC; including results on particle production in rapidity space extending from y=0 to y ∼ 3 and on the transverse momentum distribution of fully identified charged particles. These results were obtained from the 5% most central Au-Au collisions recorded during RHIC Run-2 at √ sNN = 200 GeV.

Strange Particle Production Mechanisms in Proton-Proton Collisions at RHIC
Abstract. We present data on strange particle production in elementary proton-proton collisions at RHIC energies. Comparison to leading order and next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations shows that the fragmentation process is flavor dependent and that higher order corrections are needed to describe all spectra, in particular at these collision energies, which are modest compared to the Tevatro...
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 کاملPRODUCTION OF SECONDARIES IN HIGH ENERGY d+Au COLLISIONS
In the framework of Quark-Gluon String Model we calculate the inclusive spectra of secondaries produced in d+Au collisions at intermediate (CERN SPS) and at much higher (RHIC) energies. The results of numerical calculations at intermediate energies are in reasonable agreement with the data. At RHIC energies numerically large inelastic screening corrections (percolation effects) should be accoun...
متن کاملProduction of Secondaries in High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions
In the framework of Quark-Gluon String Model we calculate the inclusive spectra of secondaries produced in heavy ion collisions at intermediate (CERN SPS) and at much higher (RHIC) energies. We demonstrate that the mechanism of secondary production changed drastically in the energy interval √ s = 20−60 GeV and that is in agreement with qualitative estimates of Glauber-Gribov theory. The results...
متن کاملSystematic 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...
