Abstract

In this note, using the colour string model, we study the configuration space distribution of stopped nucleons in heavy-ion collisions. We find that the stopped nucleons from the target and the projectile end up separated from each other by the distance increasing with the collision energy. In consequence, for the center of mass energies larger than 6 or 10 GeV (depending on the details of the model) it appears that the system created is not in thermal and chemical equilibrium, and the net baryon density reached is likely not much higher than that already present in the colliding nuclei.

Baryon stopping and hadronic spectra in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon

Thesis/Dissertation Cooper, Glenn E.

Baryon stopping and particle production in Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon are studied as a function of the collision centrality using new proton, antiproton, charged kaon and charged pion production data measured with the NA49 experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). Stopping, which is measured by the shift in rapidity of net protons or baryons from the initial beam rapidity, increases in more central collisions. This is expected from a geometrical picture of the collisions. The stopping data are quantitatively compared to models incorporating various mechanisms for stopping. In general, microscopic transport calculations which incorporate current theoretical modelsmore »« less

Identified hadron transverse momentum spectra in Au + Au collisions at {radical}{ovr S} {sub NN} = 62.4 GeV.

Journal Article Back, B B ; Baker, M D ; Ballintijn, M ; ... - Phys. Rev. C

Transverse momentum spectra of pions, kaons, protons, and antiprotons from Au+Au collisions at {radical}S{sub NN} = 62.4 GeV have been measured by the PHOBOS experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The identification of particles relies on three different methods: low momentum particles stopping in the first detector layers; the specific energy loss (dE/dx) in the silicon spectrometer, and time-of-flight measurement. These methods cover the transverse momentum ranges 0.03-0.2, 0.2-1.0, and 0.5-3.0 GeV/c, respectively. Baryons are found to have substantially harder transverse momentum spectra than mesons. The p{sub T} region in which the proton to pionmore »« less

Production and signature of extremely dense baryon matter produced with the Au beam at the AGS

Journal Article Sorge, H - Bulletin of the American Physical Society

The Au beam at the BNL-AGS offers the unique opportunity to study extremely compressed nuclear matter by colliding two truly heavy ions. This is the first heavy ion beam at an ultrarelativistic energy (beam momentum 11.6 AGeV/c), while its predecessors, e.g. at the BEVALAC, were restricted to the one GeV energy range. In this work such reactions are studied in the framework of a microscopic phasespace model (RGMD) in which resonance and string excitation and decay is followed by mean field interaction and rescattering between all hadrons, the newly produced as well as the originally ingoing hadrons.

Baryon distribution in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Wong, C - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

In order to determine whether a pure quark-gluon plasma with no net baryon density can be formed in the central rapidity region in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, we estimate the baryon distribution by using a Glauber-type multiple-collision model in which the nucleons of one nucleus degrade in energy as they make collisions with nucleons in the other nucleus. As a test of this model, we study first nucleon-nucleus collisions at 100 GeV/c and compare the theoretical results with the experimental data of Barton et al. The results are then generalized to study the baryon distribution in nucleus-nucleus collisions. It is foundmore »« less
