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

The PHENIX forward upgrade adds nosecone calorimeters and level-1 trigger (LVL-1) detectors to the muon forward spectrometers.
The muon detector will trigger on high pT muons from W decay and reject background. This will enable study of quark and anti-quark polarizations in the proton. The
upgrade will add momentum and timing information to the present muon trigger. Signals from 3 Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs)
will provide momentum and timing information for the LVL-1 trigger. Each RPC carries a plane with coarse structure to establish
a space point for timing and one with radial cathode strips for azimuthal resolution. Timing resolution of ≈ 2 ns rejects
beam-related backgrounds and tracking from RPCs minimizes muons from hadron decays. RPC information is sent by optical. bers
to LVL-1 trigger processors. A discussion of physics measurements possible, layout of the upgrade and details of RPC design
and tests are given below.

As a part of the upgrades for the PHENIX detector at RHIC,a silicon vertex tracking detector is planned. This detector will
consist of two pixel layers followed by two strip-pixel layers in the barrel region,an d four mini-strip layers in the endcap
region. As a part of the development phase of the vertex detector, we have set up three sensor testing facilities at Brookhaven
National Laboratory, at State University of New York, Stonybrook, and at University of New Mexico to characterize the preproduction
sensors, and develop our testing and quality assurance plans. Preliminary results from these test are presented here.

The forward spectrometer upgrade of the PHENIX detector aims to add capabilities at forward rapidities to: probe nucleon structure
through W production and promptphotons in polarized p + p, study nucleon structure in nuclei at high parton densities in p
+ A collisions through the measurement of γ and π0 in the forward region, greatly extend the acceptance for high p
T γ-jet measurements (jet tomography) in A + A, and increase our capabilities to measure the production quarkonium states by
giving sensitivity to the χ
c
through the J/ψ + γ channel.

The PHENIX experiment consists of a large detector system located at the newly commissioned relativistic heavy ion collider
(RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. The primary goal of the PHENIX experiment is to look for signatures of the QCD
prediction of a deconfined high-energy-density phase of nuclear matter quark gluon plasma. PHENIX started data taking for
Au+Au collisions at √sNN=130 GeV in June 2000. The signals from the beam-beam counter (BBC) and zero degree calorimeter (ZDC) are used to determine
the centrality of the collision. A Glauber model reproduces the ZDC spectrum reasonably well to determine the participants
in a collision. Charged particle multiplicity distribution from the first PHENIX paper is compared with the other RHIC experiment
and the CERN, SPS results. Transverse momentum of photons are measured in the electro-magnetic calorimeter (EMCal) and preliminary
results are presented. Particle identification is made by a time of flight (TOF) detector and the results show clear separation
of the charged hadrons from each other.
