Results from RHIC have shown that there is an enhanced baryon/meson ratio in the intermediate transverse momentum range (2<pT<6 GeV/c) in Au+Au collisions at both =130 and 200 GeV. This was initially demonstrated by measurements of the p̄/π- ratio which was then extended in pT by the Λ/K0
S ratio. The data were successfully described by models utilising different hadronization mechanisms: those having recombination
of quarks and others having an interplay between flow, jet quenching and incorporating baryon junction loops. The strange
particle data from the first Au+Au run at =200 GeV gave tantalising hints that the observed enhancement of baryons compared to mesons was diminished by a pT of 6 GeV/c, but a lack of statistics in this range made a definitive statement impossible. Here we present an extended analysis
of identified strange baryons and mesons in Au+Au collisions at =200 GeV using data obtained by the STAR experiment from the 2004 running period. The increase in statistics extends the
measurement of Λ hyperons out to at least 7 GeV/c and K0
S mesons out to 9 GeV/c. This data allows us to place limits on the range where in-vacuum fragmentation functions are applicable
and the effect of baryon dominance is reduced. We also discuss the prospects for making these measurements using multiply-strange
baryons and mesons (Ω and ϕ). 相似文献

The PHENIX experiment at RHIC measured single electron spectra in p + p, d + Au and Au + Au collisions at
GeV, and in Au + Au collisions at
GeV. In these spectra, electrons from semi-leptonic decays of charmed particles are the dominant contribution after subtraction
of all 'photonic' sources (photon conversions, Dalitz decays, decays of light vector mesons). The p + p open charm production
cross-section is found to be in good agreement with pQCD NLO calculations. The shape of the distributions obtained for p +
p interactions is compared with those observed for nucleus-nucleus collisions. From p + p to d + Au and Au + Au interactions,
open charm production is found to scale with the number of binary collisions
. Au + Au data at
GeV is compatible with the ISR p + p results scaled by
. The elliptic flow parameter v2 of heavy flavor electrons has also been measured, and is found to be non-zero in the intermediate pT range.

The analysis of two-particle correlations provides a powerful tool to study the properties of hot and dense matter created
in heavy-ion collisions at ultra-relativistic energies. Applied to identical and non-identical hadron pairs, it makes the
study of space-time evolution of the source in femtoscopic scale possible. Baryon femtoscopy allows extraction of the radii
of produced sources which can be compared to those deduced from identical pion studies, providing complete information about
the source characteristics. In this paper we present the correlation functions obtained for identical and non-identical baryon
pairs of protons and anti-protons. The data were collected recently in Au+Au collisions at =62 GeV and =200 GeV by the STAR detector at the RHIC accelerator. We introduce corrections to the baryon–baryon correlations taking
into account: residual correlations from weak decays, particle identification probability and the fraction of primary baryons.
Finally we compare our results to theoretical predictions.

We study parton suppression effects in heavy-ion collisions within the parton quenching model (PQM). After a brief summary
of the main features of the model, we present comparisons of calculations for the nuclear modification and the away-side suppression
factor to the data in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at =200 GeV. We discuss properties of light hadron probes and their sensitivity to the medium density within the PQM Monte Carlo
framework. 相似文献

We present results on two-particle azimuthal correlations of neutral strange baryons (Λ, Λ̄) and mesons (KS
0) for pT=2–6 GeV/c associated with non-identified charged particles in d+Au and Au+Au collisions at =200 GeV measured by the STAR experiment. We investigate in detail the associated yield of charged particles as a function
centrality of the collision and transverse momentum of trigger and associated particles to look for possible flavor, baryon/meson
and particle/anti-particle differences. We compare our results to the proton and pion triggered correlations as well as to
a fragmentation and recombination model.

We present measurements of azimuthal correlations between photons (from π0 decay) and charged hadrons in d+Au collisions at =200 GeV. We use di-hadron correlations to study parton fragmentation in d+Au collisions at RHIC. Specifically, the near-side
and away-side peaks of the azimuthal angular difference distribution are used to measure the root-mean-squared (RMS) fragmentation
transverse momentum and the mean intrinsic parton transverse momentum . The measurements with leading photons are compared to results using leading charged particles.

Longitudinal broadening along the Δη direction on the near side in the two-dimensional (Δφ×Δη) di-hadron correlation distribution has been studied for central Au+Au collisions at
GeV, within a dynamical multi-phase transport model. It was found that longitudinal broadening is generated by a longitudinal
flow induced by a strong parton cascade in central Au+Au collisions, to be compared with p+p collisions at
GeV. The longitudinal broadening may shed light on the strongly interacting partonic matter at RHIC. 相似文献

Results are presented of an ongoing analysis of direct photon production in =200 GeV deuteron-gold collisions (d+Au) with the STAR experiment at RHIC. A significant excess of direct photons is observed
near mid-rapidity (0<y<1) and found to be consistent with next-to-leading order pQCD calculations including the contribution
from fragmentation photons.

Heavy-flavor semileptonic decays are expected to dominate the spectrum of non-photonic electrons produced from collisions
at the energies of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The non-photonic electron yield is suppressed by approximately a factor
of 5 in central Au + Au events at
GeV relative to p+p events with the same collision energy. Most theoretical models predict less non-photonic-electron suppression than is observed
experimentally. We present a preliminary measurement of the yield of non-photonic electrons in Cu + Cu events at
GeV, as well as the nuclear modification factor. 相似文献

We present results from the PHOBOS experiment on charged hadron production over a large range in
, from Data from d + Au collisions at
GeV and Au + Au collisions at
and 200 GeV are shown. The data indicate that in Au + Au collisions a strongly interacting state of matter is formed, that
appears qualitatively different from the system formed in pp or d + Au collisions. The systematics of particle production
in d + Au and Au + Au collisions exhibit remarkably simple scaling rules, including an apparent factorization of the energy
and centrality dependence over a wide range of collision energies.

The STAR Collaboration has a broad range of recent results on intermediate and high-
phenomena in Au + Au collisions at
= 200 and 62 GeV and in d + Au at
= 200 GeV. These include new measurements of spectra, azimuthal anisotropies and di-hadron correlations. The comparison of
the 62 and 200 GeV Au + Au results indicates that jet quenching, elliptic flow and di-hadron correlation measurements are
very similar at the two energies. Meson-baryon differences that have been seen at intermediate
in 200 GeV Au + Au collisions are also present in 62 GeV Au + Au collisions and in 200 GeV d + Au collisions. Measurements
of backward-forward inclusive hadron yield asymmetries and forward-midrapidity di-hadron correlations in d + Au collisions
are consistent with the saturation picture. A brief review of these results is presented.

We present the first measurement of reconstructed jets in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. Utilizing the large coverage
of the STAR Time Projection Chamber and Electromagnetic Calorimeter, we apply several modern jet reconstruction algorithms
and background subtraction techniques and explore their systematic uncertainties in heavy ion events. The differential energy
spectrum for inclusive jet production in central Au+Au collisions at
is presented. In order to assess the jet reconstruction biases, this spectrum is compared with the jet cross section measured
in
GeV p+p collisions scaled by the number of binary N–N collisions to account for nuclear geometric effects. 相似文献

The baryon production mechanism at the intermediate pT (2–5 GeV/c) at RHIC is still not well understood. The beam energy scan data in Cu+Cu and Au+Au systems at RHIC may provide us a further
insight on the origin of the baryon anomaly and its evolution as a function of . In 2005 RHIC physics program, the PHENIX experiment accumulated the first intensive low beam energy data in Cu+Cu collisions.
We present the preliminary results of identified charged hadron spectra in Cu+Cu at and 62.4 GeV using the PHENIX detector. The centrality and beam energy dependences of (anti)proton to pion ratios and the
nuclear modification factors for charged pions and (anti)protons are presented.

factors in p+p and A+A collisions in the PHENIX experiment
at RHIC will be reviewed and
recent results at
GeV will be presented. Using
for the first time the p+p reference measured in the same
experiment instead of averaging world data the π0 suppression
turns out to be almost as large at
GeV as at
GeV, implying gluon densities dNg/dy>800.

The PHENIX experiment has measured the azimuthal anisotropy parameter v2, the second harmonic of the azimuthal distribution, for electrons at mid-rapidity (|η|<0.35) as a function of transverse
momentum (0.5<pT (GeV/c)<5.0) in Au+Au collisions at =200 GeV. From the result we have calculated the non-photonic electron v2, which is expected to reflect charm quark azimuthal anisotropy, by subtracting the v2 of electrons from other sources such as photon conversions and Dalitz decays. 相似文献

Heavy quarkonia production is expected to be sensitive to the formation of a quark gluon plasma (QGP). The PHENIX experiment
has measured J/ψ production at =200 GeV in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions, as well as in reference p+p and d+Au runs. J/ψ’s were measured both at mid (|y|<0.35)
and forward (1.2<|y|<2.2) rapidity. In this letter, we present the A+A preliminary results and compare them to normal cold
nuclear matter expectations derived from PHENIX d+Au and p+p measurements as well as to theoretical models including various
effects (color screening, recombination, sequential melting...). 相似文献

There are several indications that an opaque partonic medium is created in energetic Au+Au collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC). At the extreme densities of ∼10–100 times normal nuclear density reached,
even heavy-flavor hadrons are affected significantly. Heavy-quark observables are presented from the parton transport model
MPC, focusing on the nuclear suppression pattern, azimuthal anisotropy (“elliptic flow”), and azimuthal correlations. Comparison
with Au+Au data at top RHIC energy indicates significant heavy-quark rescattering, corresponding roughly five times higher opacities than estimates based on
leading-order perturbative QCD. We propose measurements of charm–anticharm, e.g., D-meson azimuthal correlations as a sensitive,
independent probe to corroborate these findings.

The strong suppression of high pT hadrons observed at RHIC has led to the interpretation that energetic partons lose their energy via induced gluon radiation
in the hot and dense matter before fragmenting into hadrons. The study of heavy quark production can extend our understanding
of this scenario. Due to the dead cone effect, the suppression of heavy quark mesons at high pT is expected to be smaller than that observed for charged hadrons at the same energy. The measurement of non-photonic single
electrons up to high pT provides information on charm and beauty production. The semi-leptonic decays of D and B mesons are the dominant contribution
to the non-photonic electron spectra. The preliminary spectra from p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at =200 GeV have been extracted for mid-rapidity non-photonic electrons in the range 1.5<pT (GeV/c)<10. The corresponding nuclear modification factors (RAA) are presented and show a large suppression in central Au+Au collisions, indicating an unexpectedly large energy loss for
heavy quarks in the hot and dense matter created at RHIC. This observed suppression is compared to recent theoretical models.
