运用修正的超相对论量子分子动力学模型研究了交变梯度同步加速器(AGS)能区Au+Au碰撞中的核阻止效应. 该模型考虑了形成和"预形成"粒子的平均场势、核子-核子弹性散射反应截面的介质修正和碎块形成的判断条件. 研究发现: 在AGS能区, 核阻止效应受到形成和“预形成”粒子的平均场势和核子-核子弹性散射反应截面介质修正的影响; 在中心快度区自由质子的产额偏大, 考虑新的碎块形成判断条件后, 此模型的理论计算结果与自由质子的实验结果符合得很好. 关键词： 超相对论量子分子动力学模型 交变梯度同步加速器能区 Au+Au碰撞 核阻止效应

基于一个改进的微观动力学输运模型——极端相对论量子分子动力学（UrQMD）, 较为系统地研究了从SIS能区到AGS和SPS能区, 再到RHIC能区, 入射能量跨5个数量级的重离子核反应及多个人们感兴趣的实验观测量, 如粒子产额、 集体流、 核阻止以及两粒子HBT关联等。研究表明, 不论单粒子观测量, 还是两粒子关联观测量, 都能自洽地由同一个输运模型加以描述。Based on one updated microscopic transport model Ultra relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) with modifications of both potentials and two body scattering cross sections, quite a few interesting observables, such as yields, collective flows, the nuclear stopping, and the HBT two particle interferometry, are systematically investigated for heavy ion collisions within a large beam energy regime of five orders of magnitude (from SIS, AGS, SPS up to RHIC). It is shown that a consistent explanation can be received from both single particle and two particle related observables.

高能核-核碰撞中直接光子各向异性的数值模拟研究(英文)

通过计算给出了在LHC能区非对心核-核碰撞中由椭圆流ν2表示的高横动量直接光子的方位角不对称性。该高横动量光子是由喷注与热密介质相互作用而辐射出来的。光子椭圆流与强子椭圆流ν2相差π/2的相位,是直接光子椭圆流中负值的来源。同时,计算表明LHC能区直接光子ν2随粒子横动量pT的变化趋势与RHIC上的实验结果一致,但LHC能区较RHIC能区有更低的直接光子流ν2值,且ν2值由负到正对应的转换pT值更高。这表明在LHC能区喷注淬火效应更为明显,表面发射的直接光子对光子椭圆流的贡献份额增强。

Net-Proton Nonstatistical Moments in High-Energy pp Collisions in PACIAE Model

The parton and hadron cascade model, PACIAE 2.0, is employed to calculate the net-proton nonstatistical moments in pp collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. By analyzing the results in the full phase space, it is found that the nonstatistical moments and moments products are significantly dependent on the collision energy. It is suggested that the net-proton nonstatistical moments in pp collisions may be studied in partial phase spaces with the PACIAE model.     

Multiplicity distributions of charged hadrons at AGS, SPS and RHIC

It is found that Collective Flow Model (CFM) which can successfully analyze charged particle distributions at AGS and lower SPS (less than 20 GeV/n), fails to analyze that of RHIC. The tail of distribution of charged particle at RHIC has a jump away from the collective model calculation as the energy increase. Thermalization Component Model (TCM) is presented basing on collective flow to study the multiplicity distributions at RHIC in this paper. It is realized that the limitation of phase space of collective flow can denote that of thermalization region. By comparing the contributions of particle productions from thermalization region at different energies and different centrality, we can deep our study on the feature of collective movement at RHIC.     

Gluon saturation and net-proton spectra in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions

By means of the AKK08 fragmentation function, the net-proton transverse momentum (pT) spectra in A+A collisions are studied with two phenomenological models based on the Color Glass Condensate formalism. After a x2 analysis of the experimental data from BRAHMS, the normalization constant C is extracted at RHIC energies of √SNN =62.4 and 200 GeV, and the theoretical results of the net-proton pT spectra at selected rapidities are also given. It is shown that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. Finally, assuming the constant C should have an exponent dependence of √SNN, we also predict the theoretical results of net-proton pT spectra at LHC energies of √SNN = 2.76, 3.94, and 5.52 TeV.     

Gluon saturation and baryon stopping in the SPS, RHIC, and LHC energy regions

A new geometrical scaling method with a gluon saturation rapidity limit is proposed to study the gluon saturation feature of the central rapidity region of relativistic nuclear collisions. The net-baryon number is essentially transported by valence quarks that probe the saturation regime in the target by multiple scattering. We take advantage of the gluon saturation model with geometric scaling of the rapidity limit to investigate net baryon distributions, nuclear stopping power and gluon saturation features in the SPS and RHIC energy regions. Predictions for net-baryon rapidity distributions, mean rapidity loss and gluon saturation feature in central Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC are made in this paper.     

Hadron production at forward rapidity in nuclear collisions at RHIC

The main experimental results obtained by the BRAHMS experiment at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) for Au+Au collisions at \(\sqrt {s_{NN} } \) =62.4, 200 GeV and d+Au collisions at \(\sqrt {s_{NN} } \) = 200GeV are presented. The m _T spectra and the Gaussian-like rapidity densities of produced pions and kaons in Au+Au central collisions at \(\sqrt {s_{NN} } \) = 200 are GeV shown, and their rapidity densities are compared with results from models. The net-proton yield in the same system is compared with that from AGS and SPS energies to study the high energy collision scenario-transparency and stopping. The rapidity, energy and centrality dependence of the nuclear modification factors in both systems are compared with models to differentiate between the initial and final state effect.     

Explore the QCD phase transition phenomena from a multiphase transport model

We study the phase structure of QCD matter in the framework of a multiphase transport model by implementing a strong local parton density fluctuation scenario. Our calculations on the beam energy dependence of net-proton high moment show that local parton density fluctuation only has a small effect. But it becomes important when all baryons are included. We then study the effect on elliptic flow and find that an enhanced local parton density fluctuation leads to a significant effect on protons but a small effect on pions. Our study provides a reference of transport dynamics on QCD phase transition phenomena and will be relevant for the upcoming phase II of the beam energy scan program at RHIC.     

The feature study on the <Emphasis Type="Italic">π</Emphasis> and proton rapidity distributions at AGS,SPS and RHIC

The features of nuclear stopping power and multi-hadron production systematically are studied by making an analysis of rapidity distributions of pion and proton at AGS, SPS and RHIC in this work. It is found that nuclear stopping power increases linearly with project rapidity y _p at AGS and SPS, but that is not liner at RHIC. It is argued that the average rapidity loss is saturated at central rapidity region at RHIC. For pion distribution, it is found that the phase space of pion distribution distributes uniformly in the longitudinal direction, and a linear relationship of 〈βγ〉_L with log√s is given at AGS and SPS. Non-uniform flow model may explain the features of the distribution at AGS and SPS, but may not explain those of at RHIC.

Antiproton and charged kaon production in \sqrt {s_{NN} } = 130 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHICGeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC

Preliminary results on antiproton and charged kaon spectra and the net-proton number at mid-rapidity are reported for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN} } = 130$ GeV as measured by the STAR experiment at RHIC. Inverse slope parameters of the transverse mass distributions increase with the collision centrality, consistent with a strong radial flow. The antiproton and charged kaon extrapolated yields, normalized to the uncorrected negatively charged hadron yield, increase with the collision centrality. A finite but small number of net-baryons is found to be present at mid-rapidity.     

Rapidity equilibration in d + Au and Au + Au systems

In a Relativistic Diffusion Model (RDM), the evolution of net-proton rapidity spectra with in heavy systems is proposed as an indicator for local equilibration and longitudinal expansion. The broad midrapidity valley recently discovered at RHIC in central Au + Au collisions at = 200 GeV suggests rapid local equilibration which is most likely due to deconfinement, and fast longitudinal expansion. Rapidity spectra of produced charged hadrons in d + Au and Au + Au systems at RHIC energies and their centrality dependence are well described in a three-sources RDM. In central collisions, about 19% of the produced particles are in the equilibrated midrapidity region for d + Au.     

Finite-size behaviour of a critical related observable

Accounting for the influence of system size in relativistic heavy ion collisions, the finite-size form of a critical related observable is suggested. The fixed-point and straight line methods are proposed in exploring the QCD critical point and phase boundary in relativistic heavy ion collisions. As an application, the finitesize behaviour of the ratios of higher net-proton cumulants, dynamical electric charge fluctuations, and transverse momentum correlations in Au + Au collisions at RHIC are examined.
