Midrapidity Lambda and Lambda(macro) production in Au+Au collisions at the square root of [s(NN)]=130 GeV

We report the first measurement of strange (Lambda) and antistrange (Lambda macro) baryon production from square root of [s(NN)]=130 GeV Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Rapidity density and transverse mass distributions at midrapidity are presented as a function of centrality. The yield of Lambda and Lambda; hyperons is found to be approximately proportional to the number of negative hadrons. The production of Lambda; hyperons relative to negative hadrons increases very rapidly with transverse momentum. The magnitude of the increase cannot be described by existing hadronic string fragmentation models alone.     

Azimuthal anisotropy of K(0)(S) and Lambda+Lambda production at midrapidity from Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=130 GeV

We report STAR results on the azimuthal anisotropy parameter v(2) for strange particles K(0)(S), Lambda, and Lambda at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=130 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The value of v(2) as a function of transverse momentum, p(t), of the produced particle and collision centrality is presented for both particles up to p(t) approximately 3.0 GeV/c. A strong p(t) dependence in v(2) is observed up to 2.0 GeV/c. The v(2) measurement is compared with hydrodynamic model calculations. The physics implications of the p(t) integrated v(2) magnitude as a function of particle mass are also discussed.     

On the lunar variation of cosmic radiation

The paper investigates the lunar variation of the intensity of cosmic radiation as assumed by E. Bagge and O. Binder. By evaluating the data of two stations on the same meridian circle (Rome and Makapuu Point) we reach the conclusion that this lunar variation is only apparent. The result obtained by E. Bagge and O. Binder could be caused by a small difference between the diurnal period and the assumed lunar variation. This statement is demonstrated by searching for variations with periods 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 hours which also differ little from the 24-hour period of the diurnal variation. For these calculations the data of the station Mt. Norikura were used.

Disappearance of back-to-back high-pT hadron correlations in central Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s NN ] =200 GeV

Azimuthal correlations for large transverse momentum charged hadrons have been measured over a wide pseudorapidity range and full azimuth in Au+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The small-angle correlations observed in p+p collisions and at all centralities of Au+Au collisions are characteristic of hard-scattering processes previously observed in high-energy collisions. A strong back-to-back correlation exists for p+p and peripheral Au+Au. In contrast, the back-to-back correlations are reduced considerably in the most central Au+Au collisions, indicating substantial interaction as the hard-scattered partons or their fragmentation products traverse the medium.     

Transverse-momentum and collision-energy dependence of high-pT hadron suppression in Au+Au collisions at ultrarelativistic energies

We report high statistics measurements of inclusive charged hadron production in Au+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. A large, approximately constant hadron suppression is observed in central Au+Au collisions for 5相似文献   

A partial-wave analysis of the 3π system in the reaction K−p → π+π−π0Λ at 4.2 GeV/c

A partial-wave analysis of the (3π)⁰ system produced peripherally in the reaction K^?p → π⁺π^?π⁰Λ at 4.2 GeV/c is presented. The observation of the weak Λ decay allows a determination of all the transversity production amplitudes except for two phases. The production of known resonances having decay modes other than 3π is used to test the isobar model ansatz. Significant ω(783), φ(1020) and A₂(1310) production is observed. The spin parity of the $\text{ω}{}^1\text{(1675)}$ is established as 3^?. No evidence for production of other resonances, such as axial vector-mesons, is found.

Phys. 48, No. 2, Part II (1976)], contains tabulations of experimental data bearing on the “new particles” and related topics; categories covered include charmed particles, ψ's and their decay products, and heavy leptons. Errata to the previous edition are also given.     

Bortrifluorid-katalysierte Umsetzung von 3-Amino-2H-azirinen mit Amiden: Bildung von 4,4-disubstituierten 4H-Imidazolen

Boron Trifluoride Catalyzed Reaction of 3-Amino-2H-azirines and Amides: Formation of 4,4-Disubstituted 4H-Imidazoles Reaction of trifluoroacetamide and 3-amino-2H-azirines 1 in refluxing MeCN affords 4-amino-2-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-imidazoles 5 in fair yields (Scheme 3). Less acidic amides do not react with 1 under similar conditions. Therefore, a procedure involving BF₃-catalysis has been elaborated: the aminoazirine 1 in CH₂Cl₂ at ?78° is treated with BF₃ · Et₂O and then with a solution of the sodium salt of an amide in THF, prepared by addition of sodium hexamethyldisilazane at ?78°. The 4H-imidazoles of type 5 are formed in ca. 50% yield (Scheme 4). Reaction mechanisms for this ring enlargement of 1 are proposed in Schemes 5 and 6.
