Centrality dependence of charged-hadron transverse-momentum spectra in d+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV

We have measured transverse momentum distributions of charged hadrons produced in d+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The spectra were obtained for transverse momenta 0.25相似文献   

Development and validation of a rapid and sensitive HPLC method for the quantification of 5‐fluorocytosine and its metabolites

To study the intracellular metabolism of the prodrug 5‐fluorocytosine (5FC), we developed a novel reverse‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography method to simultaneously detect 5FC and its four major anabolic metabolites: 5‐fluorouracil, 5‐fluorouridine, 5‐fluorouridine‐monophosphate and 5‐fluoro‐2′deoxyuridine‐5′‐monophosphate. Separation of each compound was accomplished under isocratic conditions using a C₁₈ column and mobile phase of formic acid–water (1 : 99 v/v). The method was validated for both accuracy and reproducibility in cell culture media. Additionally, metabolites were assessed for stability at ambient temperatures and following freeze–thaw cycles. Calibration curves were linear over a range of 1–200 μg/mL. Limit of quantification for four of the five compounds was 1 μg/mL in cell culture media (RSD < 11%). This method was successfully used to monitor intracellular conversion of 5FC to its metabolic products over a 24h period. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Charged-particle pseudorapidity density distributions from Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=130 GeV

The charged-particle pseudorapidity density dN(ch)/d eta has been measured for Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)] = 130 GeV at RHIC, using the PHOBOS apparatus. The total number of charged particles produced for the 3% most-central Au+Au collisions for /eta/相似文献   

Energy dependence of elliptic flow over a large pseudorapidity range in Au+Au collisions at the BNL relativistic heavy ion collider

This Letter describes the measurement of the energy dependence of elliptic flow for charged particles in Au+Au collisions using the PHOBOS detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Data taken at collision energies of square root of s(NN)=19.6, 62.4, 130, and 200 GeV are shown over a wide range in pseudorapidity. These results, when plotted as a function of eta(')=|eta|-y(beam), scale with approximate linearity throughout eta('), implying no sharp changes in the dynamics of particle production as a function of pseudorapidity or increasing beam energy.     

Ratios of charged antiparticles-to-particles near mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=130 GeV

We have measured the ratios of antiparticles to particles for charged pions, kaons, and protons near mid-rapidity in central Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)] = 130 GeV. We observe / = 1.00+/-0.01(stat)+/-0.02(syst), / = 0.91+/-0.07(stat)+/-0.06(syst), and

/

= 0.60+/-0.04(stat)+/-0.06(syst). The / and

ratios give a consistent estimate of the baryo-chemical potential mu(B) of 45 MeV, a factor of 5-6 smaller than in central Pb+Pb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)] = 17.2 GeV.
