Abstract We searched for long-lived strange quark matter particles, so-called strangelets , and studied particle and antiparticle production in Pb + Pb collisions at 158 GeV/ c per nucleon at zero degree production angle. We give upper limits for the production of strangelets covering a mass to charge ratio up to 120 GeV/ c 2 and lifetimes t lab > 1.2 μ s and plot invariant differential production cross sections as a function of rapidity for a variety of particles.

Abstract Besides the dedicated search for strangelets NA52 measures light (anti)particle and (anti)nuclei production over a wide range of rapidity. Compared to previous runs the statistics has been increased in the 1998 run by more than one order of magnitude for negatively charged objects at different spectrometer rigidities. At a rigidity of −20 GeV/c we measured 106 p , 103 d and one 3 He without any centrality requirements. These preliminary results together with previous measurements near central rapidity are discussed in the framework of a thermodynamical and a coalescence model.

The NA52 experiment searched for long-lived charged strangelets in 158 A GeV/c Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS. We collected 1013 Pb+Pb interactions looking for negatively charged strangelets and 3 × 1011 Pb+Pb interactions for positively charged ones. No evidence for the production of strangelets has been observed. The upper strangelet production limits are discussed. Besides the strangelet searches NA52 was able to identify particles and anti-particles over a wide range in rapidity. Results of the invariant differential particle production cross sections including fragments up to carbon and 5 are presented.

Antimatter and matter production in heavy ion collisions at CERN (The NEWMASS experiment NA52)

Besides the dedicated search for strangelets NA52 measures light (anti)particle and (anti)nuclei production over a wide range of rapidity. Compared to previous runs the statistics has been increased in the 1998 run by more than one order of magnitude for negatively charged objects at different spectrometer rigidities. Together with previous data taking at a rigidity of -20 GeV/c we obtained 10^6 antiprotons 10^3 antideuterons and two antihelium3 without centrality requirements. We measured nuclei and antinuclei (p,d,antiprotons, antideuterons) near midrapidity covering an impact parameter range of b=2-12 fm. Our results strongly indicate that nuclei and antinuclei are mainly produced via the coalescence mechanism. However the centrality dependence of the antibaryon to baryon ratios show that antibaryons are diminished due to annihilation and breakup reactions in the hadron dense environment. The volume of the particle source extracted from coalescence models agrees with results from pion interferometry for an expanding source. The chemical and thermal freeze-out of nuclei and antinuclei appear to coincide with each other and with the thermal freeze-out of hadrons.

Changes in pion production as a function of the impact parameter of the collision or the incident energy, may reveal characteristics of a possible first-order phase transition from nuclear to quark matter, as predicted by lattice quantum chromodynamics. In this paper we investigate charged pion production in Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon near 0° production angle and at forward rapidity (4.3 y6.3). The centrality dependence of pion production is shown in the impact parameter range ~ 2-12 fm at the rapidities y = 5.7 and 6.3. An enhancement in the -/+ ratio has been measured near beam rapidity, indicating Coulomb interaction of charged pions with the spectator protons. The charged pion yield per nucleon participating in the collision (Np) at y = 5.7 increases faster than linearly with Np, up to Np~100 and then it saturates, while at y = 6.3 it does not exhibit any sudden change as a function of Np.

The NA52 experiment searches for long-lived charged strangelets in 158 A GeV c-1 Pb + Pb collisions at CERN SPS. The experiment is able to identify single particles coming from the collisions at pt = 0. We collected 1013 Pb + Pb interactions looking for negatively charged strangelets and 3 × 1011 Pb + Pb interactions for positively charged ones. No evidence for the production of strangelets has been observed. We present here resulting experimental differential and total upper production limits.

Centrality dependence of π±, K±, baryon and antibaryon production in Pb + Pb collisions at 158 A GeV

Sonia Kabana; G. Ambrosini; R Arsenescu; C. Baglin; J. Beringer; K. Borer; A. Bussière; F. Dittus; K. Elsener; Ph. Gorodetzky; J.P. Guillaud; P. Hess; S. Kabana; R. Klingenberg; T. Lindén; K D Lohmann; R Mommsen; U. Moser; K. Pretzl; J. Schacher; F. Stoffel; J. Tuominiemi; M. Weber

We present new results of the CERN experiment NA52 on the centrality dependence of π±, K±, p, d, and production yields near zero transverse momentum and at several rapidities, from 64% to 4% of the total Pb + Pb cross section. Baryon yields increase nearly linearly and K± yields faster than linearly with the number of participating nucleons Np. The antibaryon yields increase less than linearly with Np, indicating absorption. The centrality and rapidity dependence of the π−/π+ ratio indicates Coulomb interaction of the pions with the projectile spectator protons. Within the framework of a coalescence model the radius of the particle source has been estimated from the ratios d/p2 and /2. The source radii are similar for matter and antimatter and are found to increase with ~ Np0.30−0.36.

New results from NA52 on particle production in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c

R Arsenescu; G. Ambrosini; C. Baglin; J. Beringer; C. Bohm; K. Borer; A. Bussière; F. Dittus; K. Elsener; Ph Gorodetsky; J.P. Guillaud; P. Hess; S. Kabana; R. Klingenberg; T.

We are presenting new results on K± and π± production in minimum bias lead-lead collisions at 158 A GeV/c. The measurements were performed at zero degree production angle and for a wide rapidity range. The analysis method used the full particle identification capabilities (time of flight, Cerenkov counters and hadronic calorimeter) of the spectrometer. We show K/π and π−/π+ ratios as a function of rapidity, as well as invariant particle production cross sections. As a particularity we observe near projectile rapidity an enhancement in the number of π− with respect to π+.
