Distributions of charged hadrons associated with high transverse momentum particles in pp and Au plus Au collisions at root(S)(NN)=200 GeV

Charged hadrons in 0.154 GeV/c are reconstructed in pp and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV. The associated multiplicity and pt magnitude sum are found to increase from pp to central Au+Au collisions. The associated pt distributions, while similar in shape on the near side, are significantly softened on the away side in central Au+Au relative to pp and not much harder than that of inclusive hadrons. The results, consistent with jet quenching, suggest that the away-side fragments approach equilibration with the medium traversed.

Isospin influences on particle emission and critical phenomena in nuclear dissociation

Features of particle emission and critical point behavior are investigated as functions of the isospin of disassembling sources and temperature at a moderate freeze-out density far medium-size Xe isotopes in the framework of the isospin-dependent lattice gas model. Multiplicities of emitted light particles, isotopic, and isobaric ratios of light particles show the strong dependence on the isospin of the dissociation source, but double ratios of light isotope pairs and the critical temperature determined by the extreme values of some critical observables are insensitive to the isospin of the systems. Values of the power law parameter of cluster mass distribution, mean multiplicity of intermediate mass fragments (IMF), information entropy, and Campis second moment also show a minor dependence on the isospin of Xe isotopes at the critical point. In addition, the slopes of the average multiplicities of the neutrons (N-n), protons (N-p), charged particles (N-CP), and IMFs (N-IMF), slopes of the largest fragment mass number (A(max)), and the excitation energy per nucleon of the disassembling source (E*/A) to temperature are investigated as well as variances of the distributions of N-n, N-p, N-CP, N-IMF, A(max), and E*/A. It is found that they can be taken as additional judgements to the critical phenomena. [S0556-2813(99)302108-1].

Di-hadron azimuthal correlation and Mach-like cone structure in a parton/hadron transport model

Abstract In the framework of a multi-phase transport model (AMPT) with both partonic and hadronic interactions, azimuthal correlations between trigger particles and associated scattering particles have been studied by the mixing-event technique. The momentum ranges of these particles are 3 p T trig 6 GeV / c and 0.15 p T assoc 3 GeV / c (soft), or 2.5 p T trig 4 GeV / c and 1 p T assoc 2.5 GeV / c (hard) in Au + Au collisions at s N N = 200 GeV . A Mach-like structure has been observed in correlation functions for central collisions. By comparing scenarios with and without parton cascade and hadronic rescattering, we show that both partonic and hadronic dynamical mechanisms contribute to the Mach-like structure of the associated particle azimuthal correlations. The contribution of hadronic dynamical process cannot be ignored in the emergence of Mach-like correlations of the soft scattered associated hadrons. However, hadronic rescattering alone cannot reproduce experimental amplitude of Mach-like cone on away-side, and the parton cascade process is essential to describe experimental amplitude of Mach-like cone on away-side. In addition, both the associated multiplicity and the sum of p T decrease, while the 〈 p T 〉 increases, with the impact parameter in the AMPT model including partonic dynamics from string melting scenario.

System size and energy dependence of near side dihadron correlations

Two-particle azimuthal (Delta phi) and pseudorapidity (Delta eta) correlations using a trigger particle with large transverse momentum (p(T)) in d+Au, Cu+Cu, and Au+Au collisions at root s(NN) = 62.4 GeV and 200 GeV from the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider are presented. The near-side correlation is separated into a jet-like component, narrow in both Delta phi and Delta eta, and the ridge, narrow in Delta phi but broad in Delta eta. Both components are studied as a function of collision centrality, and the jet-like correlation is studied as a function of the trigger and associated p(T). The behavior of the jet-like component is remarkably consistent for different collision systems, suggesting it is produced by fragmentation. The width of the jet-like correlation is found to increase with the system size. The ridge, previously observed in Au+Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV, is also found in Cu+Cu collisions and in collisions at root s(NN) = 62.4 GeV, but is found to be substantially smaller at root s(NN) = 62.4 GeV than at root s(NN) = 200 GeV for the same average number of participants ( ). Measurements of the ridge are compared to models.

Isospin effect in statistical sequential decay

Isospin effect of the statistical emission fragments from the equilibrated source is investigated in the frame of statistical binary decay implemented into the GEMINI code, isoscaling behavior is observed and the dependences of isoscaling parameters alpha and beta on emission fragment size, source size, source isospin asymmetry and excitation energies are studied. Results show that alpha and beta neither depends on light fragment size nor on source size. A good linear dependence of alpha and beta on the inverse of temperature T is manifested and the relationship of alpha=4C(sym)[(Z(s)/A(s))(1)(2)-(Z(s)/A(s))(2)(2)]/T and beta=4C(sym)[(N-s/A(s))(1)(2)-(N-s/A(s))(2)(2)]/T from different isospin asymmetry sources is satisfied. The symmetry energy coefficient C-sym extracted from simulation results is similar to 23 MeV which includes both the volume and surface term contributions, of which the surface effect seems to play a significant role in the symmetry energy.

Surveying the nucleon-nucleon momentum correlation function in the framework of quantum molecular dynamics model

Momentum correlation functions of nucleon-nucleon pairs are presented for reactions with C isotopes bombardinga 12 Ctargetwithintheframeworkoftheisospin-dependentquantummolecular dynamics model.The binding-energy dependence of the momentum correlation functions is also explored, and other factors that have an influence on momentum correlation functions are investigated. These factors include momentum-dependent nuclear equations of state, in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections, impact parameters, total pair momenta, and beam energy. In particular, the rise and the fall of the strength of momentum correlation functions at lower relative momentum are shown with an increase in beam energy.

Temperature determined by isobaric yield ratios in heavy-ion collisions

Background: Temperature (T) in heavy-ion collisions is an important parameter. Previously, many works have focused on the temperature of the hot emitting source. But there are few systematic studies of the temperature among heavy fragments in peripheral collisions with incident energies near the Fermi energy to a few A GeV, though it is very important to study the property of neutron-rich nucleus in heavy-ion collisions. Purpose: This work focuses on the study of temperature associated with the final heavy fragments in reactions induced by both the neutron-proton symmetric and the neutron-rich projectiles, and with incident energy ranges from 60A MeV to 1A GeV. Methods: Isobaric yield ratio (IYR) is used to determine the temperature of heavy fragments. Cross sections of measured fragments in reactions are analyzed, and a modified statistical abrasion-ablation (SAA) model is used to calculate the yield of fragment in 140A MeV Ni-64 + Be-9 and 1A GeV Xe-136 + Pb-208 reactions. Results: Relatively low T of heavy fragments are obtained in different reactions (T ranges from 1 to 3 MeV). T is also found to depend on the neutron richness of the projectile. The incident energy affects T very little. Delta mu/T (the ratio of the difference between the chemical potential of neutron and proton to temperature) is found to increase linearly as N/Z of projectile increases. It is found that T of the Ca-48 reaction, for which IYRs are A < 50 isobars, is affected greatly by the temperature-corrected Delta B(T). But T of reactions using IYRs of heavier fragments are only slightly affected by the temperature-corrected Delta B(T). The SAA model analysis gives a consistent overview of the results extracted in this work. Conclusions: T from IYR, which is for secondary fragments, is different from that of the hot emitting source. T and Delta mu are essentially governed by the sequential decay process.

Breaking of the number-of-constituent-quark scaling for identified-particle elliptic flow as a signal of phase change in low-energy data taken at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)

We argue that measurements of identified-particle elliptic flow in a wide energy range could shed light on the possible phase change in high-energy heavy ion collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). When the hadronization process is dominated by quark coalescence, the number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) scaling for the identified-particle elliptic flow can serve as a probe for studying the strong interacting partonic matter. In the upcoming RHIC low-energy runs, the NCQ scaling behavior may be broken because of the change of the effective degrees of freedom of the hot dense matter, which corresponds to the transition from the dominant partonic phase to the dominant hadronic phase. A multiphase transport model is used to present the dependence of NCQ scaling behavior on the different hadronization mechanisms.

RMF calculation and phenomenological formulas for the rms radii of light nuclei

The RMF (Relativistic Mean Field) calculations are performed systematically for light isotopes (A < 40) with NL-SH parameter set. The calculated binding energies and root mean square (rms) radii of light nuclei are discussed. On the basis of the theoretical calculations and the experimental data, we have suggested a group of phenomenological formulas for the neutron, proton and matter rms radii for nuclei with A < 40, including the drip-line nuclei. In these formulas, the effects of binding energies, isospin and separation energies are considered. These formulas not only agree to the experimental data for stable nuclei well, but also reproduce the abnormal large radii of nuclei near the drip-line that the previous empirical models fail to reproduce them

Scaling of anisotropy flows in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions

Anisotropic flows ( v 1 , v 2 and v 4 ) of light nuclear clusters are studied by a nucleonic transport model in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. The number-of-nucleon scalings of the directed flow ( v 1 ) and elliptic flow ( v 2 ) are demonstrated for light nuclear clusters. Moreover, the ratios of v 4 / v 2 2 of nuclear clusters show a constant value of 1/2 regardless of the transverse momentum. The above phenomena can be understood by the coalescence mechanism in nucleonic level and are worthy to be explored in experiments.
