collision energies that is providing valuable information for the understanding of the suppression pattern observed in central
Au+Au collisions at . An overview on transverse-momentum (pT) spectra of π0 and η in different collision energies and systems is presented. 相似文献

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.

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 PHENIX experiment has studied open heavy flavor production in =200 GeV p+p and d+Au collisions using the semi-leptonic decay into single muons. The results from these measurements and
the details of the analysis technique are presented. The results from p+p collisions obtained at mid-rapidity are compared
to perturbative QCD calculations. The production of light mesons is the major background source for the open flavor measurement
using muons. The nuclear modification factor for light mesons were measured in Cu+Cu collisions at =200 GeV is presented. 相似文献

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has observed a large enhancement of baryon and anti-baryon production at
2-5 GeV/c, compared to expectations from jet fragmentation. While a number of theoretical interpretations of the data are available,
there is not yet a definitive answer to the "baryon puzzle". We investigate the centrality dependence of
-meson production at mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions with
GeV. Comparison with the proton and anti-proton spectra reveal similar shapes, as expected for soft production described
by hydrodynamics. However, the absolute yields show a different centrality dependence. The nuclear modification factors for
are similar to those of pions, rather than (anti)protons that have similar mass. At intermediate , baryon/meson effects seem
to be more important than the mass effects, in support of recombination models.

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

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.

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

Measurements of identified particle production with the PHENIX experiment at RHIC have reached a mature state, where a multitude of nuclear systems at different colliding energies have been studied. The discovery configurations of $\sqrt {s_{NN} } = 130$ and 200 GeV Au+Au collisions have now been supplemented by additional Au+Au and Cu+Cu configurations at various energies, along with baseline p+p and d+Au runs at $\sqrt {s_{NN} } = 130$ GeV. In this work we present a systematic study of the Cronin effect in d+Au collisions and recent results from p+p collisions. We then proceed to make a critical comparison of pion, kaon and proton production in heavy ion and baseline systems, and discuss the observed nuclear effects on hadron production. 相似文献
