We assess transport properties of heavy quarks in the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) using static heavy-quark (HQ) potentials from
lattice-QCD calculations in a Brueckner many-body T-matrix approach to evaluate elastic heavy-quark–light-quark scattering amplitudes. In the attractive meson and diquark channels,
resonance states are formed for temperatures up to ∼1.5T
c, increasing pertinent drag and diffusion coefficients for heavy-quark rescattering in the QGP beyond the expectations from
perturbative-QCD calculations. We use these transport coefficients, complemented with perturbative elastic HQ gluon scattering,
in a relativistic Langevin simulation to obtain HQ p
t distributions and elliptic flow (v

are hadronized to open-charm and -bottom mesons within a combined quark-coalescence fragmentation scheme. The resulting single-electron
spectra from their semileptonic decays are confronted with recent data on “non-photonic electrons” in 200 A GeV Au–Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC). 相似文献

In the framework of the quark–gluon string model we calculate the inclusive spectra of secondaries produced in d+Au collisions at intermediate (CERN SPS) and at much higher (RHIC) energies. The results of numerical calculations at intermediate
energies are in reasonable agreement with the data. At RHIC energies numerically large inelastic screening corrections (percolation
effects) should be accounted for in the calculations. We extract these effects from the existing experimental data of RHIC
on minimum-bias and central d+Au collisions. The predictions for p+Au interactions at LHC energy are also given. 相似文献

Lepton-pair production from deep inelastic scatteringin peripheral relativistic heavy ion collisions
U. Dreyer T. Baier K. Hencken D. Trautmann 《The European Physical Journal C - Particles and Fields》2006,45(3):783-795
We calculate the inelastic electron- and muon-pair production in peripheral relativistic heavy ion collisions in the region
of large Q2 of one of the photons. This offers a possibility to study the quark distribution functions in ions in "ultraperipheral heavy
ion collisions". The calculations are compared with those making use of the equivalent photon and the equivalent lepton approximation.
We compare the results for Pb-Pb and Pb-p collisions at RHIC (γ ≈ 100) and LHC (γ ≈ 3000) energies. Furthermore we include nuclear modifications to the parton distribution
functions in our calculations to study their effect on the cross sections. 相似文献

The 10th Workshop on High Energy Physics Phenomenology (WHEPP-10) was held at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai
during January 2–13, 2008. One of our working grops (WG) is QCD and QGP. The discussions of QGP WG include matter at high
density, lattice QCD, charmonium states in QGP, viscous hydrodynamics and jet quenching, colour factor in heavy ion collisions
and RHIC results on photons, dileptons and heavy quark. There were two plenary talks and several working group talks with
intense discussions regarding the future activities that are going to be persued.

Charged-particle multiplicity at mid-rapidity in Au-Au collisions at relativistic heavy-ion collider
The particle density at mid-rapidity is an essential global variable for the characterization of nuclear collisions at ultra-relativistic
energies. It provides information about the initial conditions and energy density reached in these collisions. The pseudorapidity
densities of charged particles at mid-rapidity in AuAu collisions at √s
NN = 130 and 200 GeV at RHIC (relativistic heavy ion collider) have been measured with the PHENIX detector. The measurements
were performed using sets of wire-chambers with pad readout in the two central PHENIX tracking arms. Each arm covers one quarter
of the azimuth in the pseudorapidity interval |η| < 035. Data is presented and compared with results from proton-proton collisions
and nucleus-nucleus collisions at lower energies. Extrapolations to LHC energies are discussed. 相似文献

At the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) collisions of heavy ions at nucleon-nucleon energies of 200GeV appear to have
created a new form of matter thought to be a deconfined state of the partons that ordinarily are bound in nucleons. We discuss
the evidence that a thermalized partonic medium, usually called a Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), has been produced. Then, we discuss
the effect of this high-density medium on the production of jets and their pair correlations. Next, we look at direct photons
as a clean electro-magnetic probe to constrain the initial hard scatterings. Finally, we review the developing picture for
the effect of this medium on the production of open heavy quarks and on the screening by the QGP of heavy-quark bound states. 相似文献

It is shown that the elliptic flow can be successfully described in the colour string picture with fusion and percolation
provided anisotropy of particle emission from the fused string is taken into account. Two possible sources of this anisotropy
are considered, propagation of the string in the transverse plane and quenching of produced particles in the strong colour
field of the string. Calculations show that the second source gives an overwhelming contribution to the flow at accessible
energies. We obtain an almost equal elliptic flow dependence on p
T
for the LHC and RHIC energies in agreement with the recent ALICE data. 相似文献

Potential near- and long-term physics opportunities with jets, heavy flavors and electromagnetic probes at RHIC are presented. Much new physics remains to be unveiled using these probes, due to their sensitivity to the initial high density stage of RHIC collisions, when quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation is expected. Additional physics will include addressing deconfinement, chiral symmetry restoration, properties of the strongly-coupled QGP and a possible weakly-interacting QGP, color glass condensate in the initial state, and hadronization. To fully realize the physics prospects of the RHIC energy regime, new detector components must be added to existing experiments, the RHIC machine luminosity upgraded, and a possible new detector with significantly extended coverage and capabilities added.Arrival of the final proofs: 26 July 2005PACS:

The large center-of-mass energies available to the heavy-ion program at the LHC and recent experimental advances at RHIC will enable QCD matter at very high temperatures and energy densities, that is, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), to be probed in unprecedented ways. Fully-reconstructed inclusive jets and the away-side hadron showers associated with electroweak bosons, that is, tagged jets, are among these exciting new probes. Full jet reconstruction provides an experimental window into the mechanisms of quark and gluon dynamics in the QGP which is not accessible via leading particles and leading particle correlations. Theoretical advances in these exciting new fields of research can help resolve some of the most controversial points in heavy ion physics today such as the significance of the radiative, collisional and dissociative processes in the QGP and the applicability of strong versus weak coupling regimes to describe jet production and propagation. In this proceedings, I will present results on the production and subsequent suppression of high energy jets tagged with Z bosons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies using the Gyulassy-Levai-Vitev (GLV) parton energy loss approach. 相似文献

In collisions of heavy ions at extremely high energies, it is possible for a significant quantity of angular momentum to be deposited into the Quark–Gluon Plasma which is thought to be produced. We develop a simple geometric model of such a system, and show that it is dual, in the AdS/CFT sense, to a rotating AdS black hole with a topologically planar event horizon. However, when this black hole is embedded in string theory, it proves to be unstable, for all non-zero angular momenta, to a certain non-perturbative effect: the familiar planar black hole, as used in most AdS/CFT analyses of QGP physics, is “fragile”. The upshot is that the AdS/CFT duality apparently predicts that the QGP should always become unstable when it is produced in peripheral collisions. However, we argue that holography indicates that relatively low angular momenta delay the development of the instability, so that in practice it may be observable only for peripheral collisions involving favorable impact parameters, generating extremely large angular momenta. In principle, the result may be holographic prediction of a cutoff for the observable angular momenta of the QGP, or perhaps of an analogous phenomenon in condensed matter physics. 相似文献

We investigate the excitation function of quark-gluon plasma formation and of directed in-plane flow of nucleons in the energy
range of the BNL-AGS and for the E
kin
Lab = 40A GeV Pb + Pb collisions performed recently at the CERN-SPS. We employ the three-fluid model with dynamical unification of
kinetically equilibrated fluid elements. Within our model with first-order phase transition at high density, droplets of QGP
coexisting with hadronic matter are produced already at BNL-AGS energies, E
kin
Lab≃ 10A GeV. A substantial decrease of the isentropic velocity of sound, however, requires higher energies, E
kin
Lab≃ 40A GeV. We show the effect on the flow of nucleons in the reaction plane. According to our model calculations, kinematic requirements
and EoS effects work hand-in-hand at E
kin
Lab = 40A GeV to allow the observation of the dropping velocity of sound via an increase of the directed flow around midrapidity as compared to top BNL-AGS energy.

Pion interferometry (HBT of A+A) data have posed a thorn in the theoretical interpretation of AA collisions at RHIC (√s=130 AGeV). How can R out≈R side≈R long and remain so between AGS and RHIC? Where is the QGP Stall? Can elephants hide along the x 0 + dimension? We rummage old hydrodynamic scenarios and uncover some previously ignored NULL solutions. 相似文献

In the framework of the quark-gluon string model, we calculate the inclusive spectra of secondaries produced in heavy-ion
collisions at intermediate (CERN SPS) and at much higher (RHIC) energies. We demonstrate that the mechanism of secondary production
changed drastically in the energy interval √s = 20–60 GeV and that it is in agreement with qualitative estimates of Glauber-Gribov theory. The results of numerical calculations
at intermediate energies are in reasonable agreement with the data without change of the model parameters. At RHIC energies,
numerically large inelastic screening correlations should be accounted for in calculations.

Charm, as well as Strangeness, plays an important role in searches for the Quark Gluon Plasma.J/Φ Suppression and Strangeness Enhancement are two of the earliest proposed QGP signatures. Recent theoretical work on charm in Relativistic Heavy Ion collisions has focussed on di-lepton production. However, even before the discovery of theJ/Ψ, evidence of open charm was seen in hadron collisions via the observation of promptsingle leptons “resulting from the semi-leptonic decays of charm particles.” [1] The ‘copious’ yield of direct (i.e. not from Dalitz decays) single electrons and muons—at a levele/π~10?4 forpT≥1.3 GeV/c—observed in the early 1970’s was explained by Hinchliffe and Llewellyn-Smith and Bourquin and Gaillard as evidence of open-charm production. It is likely thate/π at RHIC is large and is a good measure of charm production. Thus, a measurement of single electrons with moderatepT>1.5 GeV/c at RHIC should give a clean charm signal in heavy ion collisions,with no combinatoric background. 相似文献

In the recent study on the relativistic heavy ion collisions (RHIC), the crucial problem is how one can identify the formation of quark-gluon-plasma (QGP). In this paper, we find that the number of glueballs produced from QGP is sizable and definitely affect the flavor and rapidity distributions of mesons which finally reach detectors. We propose that RllIC would be a good candidate for observing glueballs. We also suggest that the recent K+/π+ ratio may not indicate the QGP formation. 相似文献

In relativistic heavy ion collisions, heavy flavor is expected to result predominately from initial hard parton–parton scatterings.
Hence, in the absence of later stage effects, the production of heavy flavor in A+A collisions can be viewed as a superposition
of N+N collisions. Measurements of v2 or RAA of heavy flavor (or their decay electrons) in A+A collisions violate the simple superposition picture and therefore present
themselves as probes of the medium formed in such collisions. On the basis of the measured v2 and RAA of non-photonic single electrons in A+A collisions at RHIC, we will investigate the interplay between these observables as
well as the restrictions they pose for charm and bottom production. 相似文献

The recent status of hard thermal photon production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is reviewed and the current rates are presented with emphasis on corrected bremsstrahlung processes in the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) and quark–hadron duality. Employing Bjorken hydrodynamics with an EOS supporting the phase transition from QGP to hot hadron gas (HHG), thermal photon spectra are computed. For SPS 158 GeV Pb + Pb collisions, comparison with other theoretical results and the WA98 direct photon data indicates significant contributions due to prompt photons. Extrapolating the presented approach to RHIC and LHC experiments, predictions of the thermal photon spectrum show a QGP outshining the HHG in the high-pT-region. 相似文献

The implications of parton rearrangement processes on the dynamics of ultra-relativistic heavyion collisions have been investigated.
A microscopic transport approach, namely the quark gluon string model (QGSM) which has been extended for a locally density-dependent
partonic rearrangement and fusion procedure served as the tool for this investigations. The model emulates effectively the
dynamics of a strongly coupled quark plasma and final hadronic interactions. Main QGSM results on anisotropic flow components
v
1 and v
