Properties of Dihadron Correlations for p+p Collisions at √sNN= 200 GeV

The dihadron azimuthal angular correlations for p+p collisions at√s_NN=200 GeV are simulated by a multi-phase transport model. The dispersions of near-side and away-side peaks, indicated by the width of Gaussian fit functions and the rms width, decrease with the transverse momentum of associated particles. This trend is consistent with the experimental results. Conditional-yields are also calculated to obtain distributions of the associated particle transverse momentum for both away-side and near-side. Furthermore, the hadronic rescattering effects make the conditional-yield distributions softer.     

Projectile fragment emission in the fragmentation of 56Fe on C,Al and CH2 targets at 471 A MeV

The emission angle and the transverse momentum distributions of projectile fragments produced in the fragmentation of 56Fe on CHs, C and A1 targets at 471 A MeV are measured. It is found that for the same target, the average value and width of the angular distribution decrease with an increase of the projectile fragment charge; for the same projectile fragment, the average value of the distribution increases and the width of the distribution decreases with increasing the target charge number. The transverse momentum distribution of a projectile fragment can be explained by a single Gaussian distribution and the averaged transverse momentum per nucleon decreases with the increase of the charge of projectile fragment. The cumulated squared transverse momentum distribution of a projectile fragment can be explained well by a single Rayleigh distribution. The temperature parameter of the emission source of the projectile fragment, calculated from the cumulated squared transverse momentum distribution, decreases with the increase of the size of the projectile fragment.

Parton Momentum Distribution at the Moment of Jet-Parton Collisions

The early parton momentum distribution is extracted by using the STAR collaboration data of ridge particles associated with a near-side jet in centred AuAu collisions at √SNN = 200 GeV. The ridge particles are identified as medium partons kicked by the jet near the surface and they carry direct information on the parton momentum distribution at the moment of jet-patton collisions. The extracted patton momentum distribution has a thermallike transverse momentum distribution but a rapidity plateau structure with a relatively fiat rapidity distribution at mid-rapidities with sharp kinematic boundaries at large rapidities that depend on the transverse momentum.     

Azimuthal distributions of radial momentum and velocity in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Azimuthal distributions of radial (transverse) momentum, mean radial momentum, and mean radial velocity of final-state particles are suggested for relativistic heavy ion collisions. Using the AMPT transport model with string melting, the distributions of Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV are presented and studied. It is demonstrated that the distribution of total radial momentum is more sensitive to the anisotropic expansion, as the anisotropies of final-state particles and their associated transverse momentums are both counted in the measurement. The mean radial velocity distribution is compared with the radial flow velocity. The thermal motion contributes an isotropic constant to the mean radial velocity.     

Effects of inelastic (re)scattering processes ss→gg and gg→ss on strange hadron production in pp collisions at RHIC and LHC energies

The rapidity densities at mid-rapidity and the transverse momentum distributions for strange hadrons produced in pp collisions are analyzed using the modi ed PACIAE model by considering the effect of inelastic (re)scattering processes ss→gg and gg→ss in parton (re)scattering. The calculated results of the transverse momentum spectra of the strangeness fitting with data measured by STAR and ALICE Collabora- tions can be improved, especially at large transverse momentum levels. This demonstrates that the effect of inelastic (re)scattering processes of ss→gg and gg→ss is not negligible at RHIC and LHC energy levels.

Photoproduction of J/ψ in non-single-diffractive p+p collisions

Significant enhancements of J/ψ production at very low transverse momenta were recently observed by the ALICE and STAR collaborations in peripheral hadronic A+A collisions. The anomalous excess points to coherent photon-nucleus interactions in violent hadronic heavy-ion collisions, which were conventionally studied only in ultra-peripheral collisions. Assuming that the coherent photoproduction is the underlying mechanism responsible for the excess observed in peripheral A+A collisions, its contribution in p+p collisions with nuclear overlap, i.e. nonsingle-diffractive collisions, is of particular interest. In this paper, we perform a calculation of exclusive J/ψ photoproduction in non-single-diffractive p+p collisions at the RHIC and LHC energies based on the pQCD motivated parametrization using the world-wide experimental data, which could be further employed to improve the precision of the phenomenological calculations for photoproduction in A+A collisions. The differential rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of J/ψ from photoproduction are presented. In comparison with the J/ψ production from hadronic interactions, we find that the contribution of photoproduction is negligible.     

Evidence of potential change in nonsequential double ionization

Recently,the quantitative rescattering model(QRS)for nonsequential double ionization(NSDI)is modified by taking into account the potential change(PC)due to the presence of electric field at the time of recollision.Using the improved QRS model,we simulate the longitudinal momentum distributions of doubly charged ions He2+by projecting the correlated two-electron momentum distributions for NSDI of He onto the main diagonal.The obtained results are compared directly with the experimental data at different intensities.It is found that when the PC is considered,the width of momentum distributions reduces and the agreement between theory and experiment is improved.     

Rapidity dependence of hadron PT spectra in central Au+Au collisions at = 200 GeV

The transverse momentum spectra for identified hadrons at different rapidities in central Au+Au collisions at = 200 GeV are studied in a quark combination model. The results for PT spectra of π±,K±, p(p-) and for the p/π ratios in a broader PT range at midrapidity agree well with the data. The transverse momentum spectra of pions, protons and antiprotons at various rapidities y 1, η= 2.2 and y≈3.2 are calculated and compared with the data.

Transverse momentum dependence of differential directed flow of Λ hyperon within kaon covariant dynamics

The transverse momentum distributions of Λ's and proton's directed flows are investigated by using Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (QMD) within the framework of covariant kaon dynamics. The calculated results show that the transverse momentum distribution of differential directed flow of Lambda hyperons is dependent appreciably on the nuclear matter equation of states (EOS). The differential directed flow of Lambda hyperons calculated with soft EOS is consistent with the experimental data,whereas the discr...     

Emissions of fragments and mesons produced in heavy-ion collisions at CSR and related energies

Using a multisource ideal gas (MSIG) model, we reconstruct the transverse emission source in the momentum space for light fragments produced in reactions ⁸⁶Kr-¹²⁴Sn at 25 MeV/nucleon and b=7—10 fm based on the theoretical predictions of the Isospin-Dependent Quantum Molecular Dynamics (IDQMD) model. We show that the MSIG model can reasonably describe the IDQMD-predicted results for the azimuthal distribution and the transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow v₂ and fourth-order anisotropic flow v₄ but can only qualitatively describe the transverse momentum spectra. The azimuthal distributions of nuclear fragments produced in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies are studied by the MSIG model. The calculated results are compared and found to be in agreement with the experimental data of Ca-Ca, Nb-Nb, and Au-Au collisions at 150—800 MeV/nucleon beam energies. Meanwhile, the angular distributions of pions and kaons produced in heavy-ion collisions at the low-energy end (1—2 GeV/nucleon) of high energies are investigated by the MSIG model, too. The calculated results are compared and found to be in agreement with the experimental data of the KaoS Collaboration.     

Impact of lepton p_T threshold on charge asymmetry predictions for inclusive W boson production in pp collisions at 13 TeV

This paper presents the impact of the lepton transverse momentum p_T~l threshold on the W boson charge asymmetry predictions in perturbative QCD for the inclusive W~++X→l~±v+X production in proton-proton(pp)collisions.The predictions are obtained at various low-p_T~l thresholds p_T~l 20,25,30,and 40 GeV in a fiducial region encompassing both the central and forward detector acceptances in terms of the lepton pseudorapidity0 ≤η_l≤4.5.The predicted distributions for the lepton charge asymmetry,which is defined by η_l(A_(η_l)),at the nextto-next-to-leading order(NNLO) accuracy are compared with the CMS and LHCb data at 8 TeV center-of-mass collision energy.The 8 TeV predictions reproduce the data fairly well within the quoted uncertainties.The predictions from the CT14 parton distribution function(PDF) model are in a slightly better agreement with the data over the other PDF sets that are tested.The 13 TeV predictions using various p_T~l thresholds are reported for A_(η_l) and the charge asymmetries that are defined in terms of the differential cross sections in bins of the W boson rapidity yw(A_(y_w)) and transverse momentum p_T~W(A_(p_T~W)).The NNLO predictions for the A_(η_l),A_(y_w).and A_(p_T~W) distributions are assessed to be in close correlation with the p_T~l value.The A_(η_l) and A_(y_w) distributions are particularly shown to be more correlated at a higher p_T~l threshold.The A_(p_T~W) distributions are also reported from the merged predictions with improved accuracy by the inclusion of the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithm(N'LL) corrections,i.e.,at NNLO+N~3 LL.The predicted distributions from various p_T~l thresholds represent a finer probe in terms of the capability to provide more constraints on the ratio of u and d quark distribution functions in the parton momentum fraction range 10~(-4) x1.     

Particle correlation in p+p collision √sNN=200 GeV in PYTHIA

We calculated the relative abundances of charge hadron, K_S⁰, Λ and Λ in the near-side and away-side cones correlated with triggered high p_T particles in minimum bias in p+p collisions at √s_NN=200 GeV in the PYTHIA model. From the quark and gluon jet events in the PYTHIA model, we have found that the particle yields' different splitting. So the di-hadron correlation in the quark jet events and gluon jet events are also presented. And the particle charge dependance of the di-hadron correlation is extracted from the PYTHIA model. The di-hadron plus and di-hadron minus correlations are similar in the near-side (Δφ~0), but in the away-side, the di-hadron minus correlation seems to be lower. The Hadron-K_S⁰ and －Λ+Λ correlations seem to be differet. We have used a double-Gaussian function to fit those correlation functions and compared the fit parameters.     

Centrality Dependence of K~*(892)~0 and φ(1020) Production at LHC

We study the centrality dependence of the mid-rapidity(|y| 0.5) yields and transverse momentum distributions of K~*(892)~0 and φ(1020) resonances produced in Pb + Pb collisions at sNN~(1/2)= 2.76 TeV. The midrapidity density( dN/dy) and the shape of the transverse momentum spectra are well reproduced by an earlier proposed Unified Statistical Thermal Freeze-out Model(USTFM), which incorporates the effects of both longitudinal as well as transverse hydrodynamic flow. The freeze-out properties in terms of kinetic freeze-out temperature and transverse flow velocity parameter are extracted from the model fits to the transverse momentum data provided by the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The kinetic freeze-out temperature is found to increase with decreasing event centrality while the transverse flow velocity parameter shows a mild decrease on moving towards peripheral collisions. Moreover the centrality dependence of the mid-rapidity system size at freeze-out has also been studied in terms of transverse radius parameter.     

Rayleigh-like distribution of particle transverse momenta in collisions at high energies

The transverse momentum distributions of final-state particles produced in collisions at high en-ergies are studied by using a two-component Rayleigh-like distribution.This representation is based on Liu＇s multisource ideal gas model which describes protons and fragments in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions.The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data of Au-Au,Cu-Cu,d-Au,and pp collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider energies.The experimental particle momentum distributions of p-Be collisions at 6.4,12.3,and 17.5 GeV/c,as well as Au-Au collisions at 1.5 AGeV are well described by a model based on a single Rayleigh-like distribution of particle transverse momenta.     

Single source emission of proton projectile fragments in nucleus-emulsion interactions

The projected angular distribution and transverse momentum distribution of proton projectile fragments produced in 3.7A GeV 16O,500A MeV 56Fe,and 1.7A GeV 84Kr induced by different kinds of emulsion target(H,CNO,and AgBr) interactions are investigated.It is found that the projected angular distribution and transverse momentum distribution can be well represented by a single Gaussian distribution.Comparison of transverse momentum distribution with the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution reveals that proton projectile fragments are emitted from a single-temperature emission source.The temperature is different for different colliding systems,and linearly depends on the target size.     

Intense laser beam guiding in self-induced electron cavitation channel in underdense plasmas

In underdense plasmas, the transverse ponderomotive force of an intense laser beam with Gaussian transverse profile expels electrons radially, and it can lead to an electron cavitation. An improved cavitation model with charge conservation constraint is applied to the determination of the width of the electron cavity. The envelope equation for laser spot size derived by using source-dependent expansion method is extended to including the electron cavity. The condition for self-guiding is given and illuminated by an effective potential for the laser spot size. The effects of the laser power, plasma density and energy dissipation on the self-guiding condition are discussed.     

Analytical structure of Hermite Gaussian beam in far field

Based on the vectorial structure of electromagnetic beam and the method of stationary phase, the analytical structure of Hermite Gaussian beam in far field is presented. The structural energy flux distributions are also investigated in the far field. The structural pictures of some Hermite Gaussian beams are depicted in the far field. As the structure of Hermite Gaussian beam is dominated by the transverse mode numbers and the initial transverse Gaussian half width, it is more complex than that of Gaussian beam. The ratios of the structural energy fluxes to the whole energy flux are independent of the transverse mode numbers and the initial transverse Gaussian half width. The present research reveals the internal vectorial structure of Hermite Gaussian beam from other viewpoint.\
