Title: Spectral temperatures of {Delta}{sup 0}(1232) resonances produced in p{sup 12}C and d{sup 12}C collisions at 4.2 GeV/c per nucleon

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei

The reconstructed experimental transverse momentum (p{sub t}) distributions of {Delta}{sup 0}(1232) resonances produced in p{sup 12}C and d{sup 12}C collisions at 4.2 A GeV/c and the corresponding spectra calculated using Modified FRITIOF model were analyzed in the framework of Hagedorn Thermodynamic Model. The spectral temperatures of {Delta}{sup 0}(1232) resonances were extracted from fitting their p{sub t} spectra with one-temperature Hagedorn function. The extracted spectral temperatures of {Delta}{sup 0}(1232) were compared with the corresponding temperatures of {pi}{sup -} mesons in p{sup 12}C and d{sup 12}C collisions at 4.2 A GeV/c obtained similarly from fitting the p{sub t} spectra of {pi}{sup -} by one-temperature Hagedorn function. The spectral temperatures of {Delta}{sup 0}(1232) resonances agreed within uncertainties with the corresponding temperatures of {pi}{sup -} mesons produced in p{sup 12}C and d{sup 12}C collisions at 4.2 A GeV/c.
