The study of dilepton production in heavy-ion collisions at the CERN SPS provided some of the most interesting observations
done so far in the search for the quark gluon plasma. However, several aspects of the understanding of these measurements
need to be clarified. For example, the study of the J/
production in different colliding systems should help to disentangle which is the variable driving the J/
suppression. The NA60 experiment, with a new radiation tolerant Silicon pixel detector, studied Indium-Indium interactions
in the year 2003. In this paper, we present the J/
/ DY ratio, integrated over all the centralities of the collisions, together with a first study of the J/
transverse momentum and polarization.

During the June 2002 run NA60 collected around 600 000 dimuon triggers in proton-nucleus collisions at 400 GeV. We show that
the collected dimuon mass spectra can be understood in terms of known sources. The specific target setup, consisting of Beryllium,
Indium and Lead targets, simultaneously exposed to the beam, allowed us to study the nuclear dependence of the production
cross-section of the
and
resonances. The elementary nucleon-nucleon production cross-sections at 400 GeV for the
,
and
mesons are also presented. By using the
-Dalitz decay, dominating the mass range below 450 MeV, we, furthermore, extracted the
production cross-section and its nuclear dependence. The results are discussed in the framework of previous measurements,
mostly obtained in different decay channels, performed by NA27, HELIOS-1 and CERES-TAPS.

NA60 is an experiment at the CERN-SPS devoted to the study of dimuon production in heavy-ion and proton-nucleus collisions.
The main topics under study are low mass vector meson production, J/
production and suppression, and the sources of the dimuon continuum in the mass range 1.2-2.7 GeV/c
2. In 2003, NA60 collected
million dimuon events from Indium-Indium collisions. We present preliminary results of the analysis of this data sample in
view of measuring the open charm contribution to the dimuon spectrum. Although we are still working on the final background
subtraction procedure, we can already demonstrate that the detector performance is good enough to allow the separation of
prompt dimuons from muon pairs originating in distant D
decays.

A study of elliptic flow and two-particle azimuthal correlations of charged particles (
GeV/c) and high-
pions (
GeV/c) in Pb + Au collisions at 158A GeV/c, close to midrapidity, is presented. Elliptic flow (v
2) rises linearly with
to a value of about 10
at 2 GeV/c. Beyond
1.5 GeV/c, the slope decreases and possibly indicates a v
2 saturation at high
. Two-pion azimuthal anisotropies for
1.2 GeV/c exceed the v
2 values by about 60
in semicentral collisions. This non-flow component is attributed to near-side and away-side jetlike correlations. While the
near-side peak remains constant with centrality 0.23
0.03 rad, as expected for fragmentation, the away-side peak experiences broadening and disappears in central collisions.

The production of
and
charmonium states in proton-nucleus interactions has been investigated by the NA50 experiment, at the CERN SPS. High statistics data sets were collected with collisions induced by 450 GeV protons incident on Be, Al, Cu, Ag and W targets. The
and
production cross-sections have been determined for each p-A system and their dependences on the nucleus size have been studied, leading to the so-called normal nuclear absorption. Comparing the two patterns we see that the nuclear absorption is stronger for the
than for the
. Given the high statistics of the data samples, the
(or rapidity) differential cross-sections of the
and
states have also been studied, for each of the target nuclei.Received: 23 September 2003, Revised: 29 November 2003, Published online: 29 January 2004 相似文献

In this paper, preliminary results are presented on high
inclusive neutral pion measurements in d-Au collisions at
GeV in the pseudo-rapidity range
. Photons from the decay
are detected in the Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter of the STAR experiment at RHIC. The analysis of this first BEMC hadron
measurement is described in detail. The results are compared to earlier RHIC findings. Furthermore, the obtained
invariant differential cross sections show good agreement with next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD calculations.

The production of

charm hadrons and their antiparticles in e p scattering at HERA was measured with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of
. The measurement has been performed in the photoproduction regime with the exchanged-photon virtuality
and for photon-proton centre-of-mass energies in the range
. The charm hadrons were reconstructed in the range of transverse momentum
and pseudorapidity
. The production cross sections were used to determine the ratio of neutral and charged D-meson production rates,
, the strangeness-suppression factor,
, and the fraction of charged D mesons produced in a vector state,
. The measured
and
values agree with those obtained in deep inelastic scattering and in e + e- annihilations. The measured
value is smaller than, but consistent with, the previous measurements. The fractions of c quarks hadronising as a particular charm hadron,
, were derived in the given kinematic range. The measured open-charm fragmentation fractions are consistent with previous
results, although the measured
is smaller and
is larger than those obtained in e + e- annihilations. These results generally support the hypothesis that fragmentation proceeds independently of the hard sub-process.

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 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.

We provide standard model expectations for the rare radiative decays
,
and
, and the electroweak penguin decays
and
at the next-to-leading order (NLO), extending our previous results to
transitions. We consider branching fractions, isospin asymmetries and direct CP asymmetries. For the electroweak penguin decays, the lepton-invariant mass spectrum and forward-backward asymmetry is also included. Radiative and electroweak penguin transitions in
are mainly interesting in the search for new flavor-changing neutral current interactions, but in addition the
decays provide constraints on the CKM parameters
. The potential impact of these constraints is discussed.Received: 16 January 2005, Published online: 16 March 2005

Transverse momentum (
) spectra measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC in Au + Au, d + Au and pp collisions at
and in Au + Au collisions at
are presented. A suppression of the yield of high
hadrons in central Au + Au collisions by a factor 4-5 at
is found relative to the pp reference scaled by the nuclear overlap function
. In contrast, direct photons are not suppressed in central Au + Au collisions and no suppression of high
particles can be seen in d + Au collisions. This leads to the conclusion that the dense medium formed in central Au + Au
collisions is responsible for the suppression.

In the context of the littlest Higgs (LH) model, we study the process

A search for lepton-flavor-violating interactions
and
has been performed with the ZEUS detector using the entire HERA I data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity
of
. The data were taken at center-of-mass energies,
, of 300 and
. No evidence of lepton-flavor violation was found, and constraints were derived on leptoquarks (LQs) that could mediate such
interactions. For LQ masses below
, limits were set on
, where
is the coupling of the LQ to an electron and a first-generation quark q1, and
is the branching ratio of the LQ to the final-state lepton
(μ or
) and a quark q. For LQ masses much larger than
, limits were set on the four-fermion interaction term
for LQs that couple to an electron and a quark
and to a lepton
and a quark
, where
and
are quark generation indices. Some of the limits are also applicable to lepton-flavor-violating processes mediated by squarks
in R-Parity-violating supersymmetric models. In some cases, especially when a higher-generation quark is involved and for the
process
, the ZEUS limits are the most stringent to date.

We study superluminal cyclotron emission by electrons and muons in semiclassical orbits. The tachyonic line spectra of hydrogenic
ions such as
,
, and
, as well as their muonic counterparts
,
and
are calculated, in particular the tachyonic power transversally and longitudinally radiated, the total intensity, and the
power radiated in the individual harmonics. We also investigate tachyonic continuum radiation from electrons and protons cycling
in the surface and light cylinder fields of
-ray and millisecond pulsars, such as the Crab pulsar, PSR B1509-58, and PSR J0218 + 4232. The superluminal spectral densities
generated by non-relativistic, mildly relativistic and ultra-relativistic source particles are derived. We study the parameters
determining the global shape of the transversal and longitudinal densities and the energy scales of the broadband spectrum.
The observed cutoff frequency in the
-ray band of the pulsars is used to infer the upper edge of the orbital energy, and we conclude that electrons and nuclei
cycling in the surface fields can reach energies beyond the "ankle" of the cosmic ray spectrum. This suggests
-ray pulsars as sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays.

A study of Z-boson pair production in e + e- annihilation at center-of-mass energies between 190 GeV and 209 GeV is reported. Final states containing only leptons, (
and
), quark and lepton pairs, (
,
) and only hadrons (
) are considered. In all states with at least one Z boson decaying hadronically, lifetime, lepton and event-shape tags are used to separate
pairs from
final states. Limits on anomalous ZZ
and ZZZ couplings are derived from the measured cross sections and from event kinematics using an optimal observable method. Limits on low scale gravity with large extra dimensions are derived from the cross sections and their dependence on polar angle.Received: 14 July 2003, Published online: 18 December 2003 相似文献
