Pseudorapidity Distribution of Shower Particles in 24Mg-Emulsion Collisions at 4.5A GeV/c

The pseudorapidity distribution of shower particles produced in the ²⁴Mg-emulsion collisions at 4.5A GeV/c is reported in this paper. The dependences of the distribution width and the peak position on the target size are observed.The pseudorapidity distribution of shower particles for the events with low target multiplicity (light target) is narrower than that with high target multiplicity (heavy target). The maximum probability pseudorapidity for light target is greater than that for heavy target. The experimental data is analyzed by using the cylinder model suggested by Liu et al. The Monte Carlo results based on Liu's cylinder model are approximately in agreement with the experimental tendency and fluctuation.     

Significance of the fragmentation region in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions

We present measurements of the pseudorapidity distribution of primary charged particles produced in Au+Au collisions at three energies, sqrt[s(NN)]=19.6, 130, and 200 GeV, for a range of collision centrali-ties. The distribution narrows for more central collisions and excess particles are produced at high pseudorapidity in peripheral collisions. For a given centrality, however, the distributions are found to scale with energy according to the "limiting fragmentation" hypothesis. The universal fragmentation region described by this scaling grows in pseudorapidity with increasing collision energy, extending well away from the beam rapidity and covering more than half of the pseudorapidity range over which particles are produced. This approach to a universal limiting curve appears to be a dominant feature of the pseudorapidity distribution and therefore of the total particle production in these collisions.     

Multiplicity and pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles from32S induced heavy ion interactions at 200A GeV

Multiplicity and pseudorapidity distributions have been measured for³²S+Al, Cu, Ag and Au at 200A GeV. The widths of the pseudorapidity distributions increase from central to peripheral collisions. The main contribution is assumed to come from the increasing fraction of charged particles stemming from the fragmentation of the target for peripheral collisions as compared to central collisions. On the average 170–180 charged particles per unit of pseudorapidity are attained for the most central³²S+Au events at the maximum of the distribution. The target dependence of the yield of charged particles for central collisions is investigated. In the target rapidity region the yield is directly proportional to the target mass. The transverse energy per charged particle has been studied as a function of centrality and pseudorapidity. The experimental results are compared to the results from the Monte-Carlo model VENUS 3.11 which includes rescattering among secondaries. A comparison between different centrality triggers is made.

Pseudorapidity distribution of charged particles in d+Au collisions at sqrt[sNN]=200 GeV

The measured pseudorapidity distribution of primary charged particles in minimum-bias d+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV is presented for the first time. This distribution falls off less rapidly in the gold direction as compared to the deuteron direction. The average value of the charged particle pseudorapidity density at midrapidity is |eta|< or =0.6)=9.4+/-0.7(syst) and the integrated primary charged particle multiplicity in the measured region is 82+/-6(syst). Estimates of the total charged particle production, based on extrapolations outside the measured pseudorapidity region, are also presented. The pseudorapidity distribution, normalized to the number of participants in d+Au collisions, is compared to those of Au+Au and p+(-)p systems at the same energy. The d+Au distribution is also compared to the predictions of the parton saturation model, as well as microscopic models.     

Some characteristics of high multiplicity (≧45) proton-AgBr interactions at 800 GeV

Experimental results on some characteristics of high multiplicity (≧45) proton-AgBr interactions at 800 GeV are presented. The results are compared with those in lower multiplicity regions as well as for CNO target. The various parameters investigated here are pseudorapidity distribution, mean normalised multiplicity, mean number of intranuclear collisions and normalised pseudorapidity.     

Pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations from a multi-phase transport model

Using a multi-phase transport model(AMPT) that includes both initial partonic and hadronic interactions, we study neighboring bin multiplicity correlations as a function of pseudorapidity in Au+Au collisions at (sNN)~(1/2) = 7.7- 62.4 GeV.It is observed that for (sNN)~(1/2) 19.6 GeV Au+Au collisions, the short-range correlations of final particles have a trough at central pseudorapidity, while for (sNN)~(1/2) 19.6 GeV AuAu collisions,the short-range correlations of final particles have a peak at central pseudorapidity. Our findings indicate that the pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations should contain some new physical information, and are not a simple result of the pseudorapidity distribution of final particles. The AMPT results with and without hadronic scattering are compared. It is found that hadron scattering can only increase the short-range correlations to some level, but is not responsible for the different correlation shapes for different energies. Further study shows that the different pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations are mainly due to partonic evolution and the following hadronization scheme.

Nuclear effects in multiparticle production in 800 GeV and 400 GeV proton-nucleus interactions

We study nuclear effects in multiparticle production in proton-emulsion nuclei interactions at 800 GeV and 400 GeV. The observed pseudorapidity distributions are compared with the predictions of a simple quark model. The predicted dependence of the ratio of the normalised multiplicity distribution of the produced shower particles in hadron-nucleus (hA) to hadron-hadron (hh) interactions on the mean number of inelastic collisions in the central region is in good agreement with the experimental data.     

High energy Cherenkov gluons at RHIC and LHC

The collective effect of emission by the forward moving partons of high energy Cherenkov gluons in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is considered. It can reveal itself as peaks in the pseudorapidity distribution of jets at midrapidities, or as a ring-like structure of individual events in event-by-event analysis. The pseudorapidity distribution of centers of dense isolated groups of particles in the HIJING model is determined. It can be considered as the background for Cherenkov gluons. If peaks above this background are found in experiments, they indicate new collective effects. In memory of E.L. Feinberg     

Cronin effect from backward to forward rapidity: A tale of two misteries

I discuss recent experimental data on the Cronin effect in deuteron-gold collisions at the top RHIC energy, in a pseudorapidity range η∈[?2, 3]. Two theoretical approaches are compared and contrasted: the pQCD-based Glauber-Eikonal model and Colour Glass Condensate models. Neither can describe the Cronin effect over the whole pseudorapidity interval up to now explored experimentally, its most mysterious and intriguing part being at negative rapidity.

将核子-核子碰撞末态带电粒子的生成源分为二元核子 核子碰撞与带头粒子两部分, 给出了末态带电粒子的赝快度分布与入射能量间的解析关系。 以此为基础, 将核 核碰撞末态带电粒子的生成源分为二元核子-核子碰撞、 带头粒子与旁观者3部分, 建立起了以碰撞参数与束流能量为自变量的末态带电粒子的赝快度分布, 并用其分析了BNL-RHIC-PHOBOS合作组在sNN=200 GeV的不同d+Au对心度碰撞中所做的实验测量。 所得结果与实验符合得很好。 We divide the particle generating sources in nucleon-nucleon collisions into two parts: binary collisions and leading particles, and present the analytical relation between charged particle pseudorapidity distributions and incident energy. On the basis of this work, we classify the particle generating sources in nucleus-nucleus collisions into three parts:binary collisions,leading particles and spectators,and formulate the charged particle pseudorapidity distributions as the function of incident energy and impact parameter. We then analyze with the model the experimental measurements in d+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV. The theoretical results are well consistent with experimental data.     

Pseudorapidity distribution of multiplicity in Au+Au collisions at √SNN=200 GeV

Using the Glauber model,we discuss the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions in heavy-ion collisions.Based on the latter,after considering the effect of energy loss of the nucleons in multiple collisions,we derive the pseudorapidity distribution of the multiplicity as a function of the impact parameter in nucleus-nucleus collisions.Using this,we analyze the experimental measurements carried out by the BRAHMS Collaboration in Au+Au collisions at √SNN=200 GeV.The results are in good agreement with the experimental observations.     

Charged-particle pseudorapidity distributions in Au+Au collisions at RHIC

Using the Glauber model, we present the formulas for calculating the numbers of participants,spectators and binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. Based on this work, we get the pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles as the function of the impact parameter in nucleus-nucleus collisions. The theoretical results agree well with the experimental observations made by the BRAHMS Collaboration in Au+Au collisions at √SNN=200 GeV in different centrality bins over the whole pseudorapidity range.     

On resonance search in dilepton events at the LHC

The main distribution for a bump search is the dilepton-invariant-mass distribution with appropriate cut on an absolute value of pseudorapidity difference Δη ≡ |η₁ ? η₂| between the two leptons. The back-ground from the Standard Model Drell-Yan process contributes mainly to the central pseudorapidity region Δη ≈ 0. By contrast, the excited bosons lead to a peak at Δη ≈ 1.76. We show that this property allows one to enhance the significance of their bump search by means of the new cut optimization. Nevertheless, in order to confirm an observation of the bump and reveal the resonance nature, other angular distributions should be used in addition.

高能核碰撞中带电多重数快度与能量和中心度的关系

用强子–弦级联模型JPCIAE及相应的Monte Carlo事例产生器研究相对论性核–核碰撞中带电粒子多重数的赝快度密度对能量和中心度的依赖关系.无需另调任何模型参数的条件下,此模型可以同时较好地描述相对论性pp实验数据及PHOBOS和PHENIX实验组的Au+Au实验数据.本文指出:因〈N_part〉并非严格定义的物理量,致使实验上和理论上确定〈N_part〉有一定任意性,从而使得每参加者核子对的带电粒子赝快度密度随着〈N_part〉的增加可能逐渐增大,也可能逐渐减小,因此用它来区分粒子产生机制是欠妥的.

Multiplicity and pseudorapidity distributions of photons in Au+Au collisions at square root of (S(NN)) = 62.4 GeV

We present the first measurement of pseudorapidity distribution of photons in the region 2.3 < or = eta < or = 3.7 for different centralities in Au+Au collisions at square root of (S(NN)) = 62.4 GeV. We find that the photon yield scales with the number of participating nucleons at all collision centralities studied. The pseudorapidity distribution of photons, dominated by pi0 decays, has been compared to those of charged pions, photons, and inclusive charged particles from heavy-ion and nucleon-nucleon collisions at various energies. The photon production has been shown to be consistent with the energy and centrality independent limiting fragmentation scenario.
