BCCUNY-HEP- 07-02 Rapidity dependence of the photon to pion production ratio in high energy collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate rapidity dependence of the ratio of photon and pion production cross sections in high energy proton (deuteron) nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC. This ratio, and its rapidity dependence can be a sensitive probe of high density QCD (Color Glass Condensate) dynamics and shed further light on the role of saturation physics at RHIC and LHC. ar X iv :n uc lth /0 70 30 69 v1 2 2 M ar 2 00 7

مطالعه تولید منحصر بفرد جفت پایونهای مثبت و منفی در برخوردهای پروتون-پروتون با مرکز جرم 7 ترا الکترون ولت
The exclusive production of charged pions, are reported in the proton-proton collisions, where the π+π- pair is emitted at the central rapidity, y, and the scattered protons stay intact (p) without detection. This measurement is performed with the CMS detector at the LHC, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 450 μb-1 collected at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. Th...
متن کاملHigher Twist Effects in Photon-photon Collisions
In this article, we investigate the contribution of the high twist Feynman diagrams to the large-pT single pseudoscalar and vector mesons inclusive production cross section in two-photon collisions and we present the general formulae for the high and leading twist differential cross sections. The pion wave function where two non-trivial Gegenbauer coefficients a2 and a4 have been extracted from...
متن کاملOverview and Recent Results from BRAHMS
The BRAHMS experiment was designed to measure and characterize in particular the properties of rapidity dependence of particle production in heavy ion collisions. The data-taking is now over, results of several years of analysis have been published and demonstrates several important features of the rapidity dependence, not envisioned from the start of the RHIC program. The bulk properties of th...
متن کاملCorrelations in the STAR forward pion production in dAu collisions and energy losses in black disc regime
We explain that in the black disc QCD regime (BDR) in difference from the moderate x regime very forward partons propagating through the nuclear matter should loose significant, increasing with energy and atomic number fraction of their initial energy as a result of dominance of inelastic interactions, causality and energy-momentum conservation. We evaluate these small x energy losses and find ...
متن کاملThermal photon production in high-energy nuclear collisions.
We use a boost-invariant one-dimensional (cylindrically symmetric) fluid dynamics code to calculate thermal photon production in the central rapidity region of S+Au and Pb+Pb collisions at SPS energy ( √ s = 20 GeV/nucleon). We assume that the hot matter is in thermal equilibrium throughout the expansion, but consider deviations from chemical equilibrium in the high temperature (deconfined) pha...
