Title: Flavor hierarchy of jet quenching in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

Relativistic heavy-ion experiments have observed similar quenching effects for (prompt) D mesons compared to charged hadrons for transverse momenta larger than 6-8 GeV, which remains a mystery since heavy quarks typically lose less energies in quark-gluon plasma than light quarks and gluons. Recent measurements of the nuclear modification factors of B mesons and B-decayed D mesons by the CMS Collaboration provide a unique opportunity to study the flavor hierarchy of jet quenching. Using a linear Boltzmann transport model combined with hydrodynamics simulation, we study the energy loss and nuclear modification for heavy and light flavor jets in high-energy nuclear collisions. By consistently taking into account both quark and gluon contributions to light and heavy flavor hadron productions within a next-to-leading order perturbative QCD framework, we obtain, for the first time, a satisfactory description of the experimental data on the nuclear modification factors for charged hadrons, D mesons, B mesons and B-decayed D mesons simultaneously over a wide range of transverse momenta (8-300 GeV). This presents a solid solution to the flavor puzzle of jet quenching and constitutes a significant step towards the precision study of jet-medium interaction. Our study predicts that at transverse momenta larger than 30-40 GeV, B mesonsmore »« less

Heavy and light flavor jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions in a perturbative QCD approach

Journal Article Xing, Wen-Jing ; Cao, Shanshan ; Qin, Guang-You ; ... - Nuclear Physics. A

In this work, we study the flavor dependence of jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions. A next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD framework is applied to account for both quark and gluon contributions to light and heavy flavor hadron productions. A linear Boltzmann transport model coupled to hydrodynamic simulation is utilized to study the nuclear modification of heavy and light flavor jets in the dynamically evolving quark-gluon plasma. Within our jet quenching framework, we obtain a nice description of the nuclear modification factors of charged hadrons, D mesons, B mesons and B–decayed D mesons over a wide range of transverse momentum (8-300 GeV).

Testing the color charge and mass dependence of parton energy loss with heavy-to-light ratios at BNL RHIC and CERN LHC

Journal Article Armesto, Nestor ; Departamento de Fisica de Particulas and Instituto Galego de Altas Enerxias, Facultade de Fisica, Campus Sur, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela ; Dainese, Andrea ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The ratio of nuclear modification factors of high-p{sub T} heavy-flavored mesons to light-flavored hadrons ('heavy-to-light ratio') in nucleus-nucleus collisions tests the partonic mechanism expected to underlie jet quenching. Heavy-to-light ratios are mainly sensitive to the mass and color-charge dependences of medium-induced parton energy loss. Here, we assess the potential for identifying these two effects in D and B meson production at RHIC and at the LHC. To this end, we supplement the perturbative QCD factorized formalism for leading hadron production with radiative parton energy loss. For D meson spectra at high but experimentally accessible transverse momentum (10 < or approx.more »« less

Nuclear modification factor of nonphotonic electrons in heavy-ion collisions, and the heavy-flavor baryon-to-meson ratio

Journal Article Oh, Yongseok ; Ko, Che Ming - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The nuclear modification factor R{sub AA} of nonphotonic electrons in Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV is studied by considering the decays of heavy-flavor hadrons produced in a quark coalescence model. Although an enhanced {lambda}{sub c}/D{sup 0} ratio is predicted by the coalescence model, it is peaked at small transverse momenta ({approx}2 GeV) due to the large difference between heavy and light quark masses. As a result, the enhanced {lambda}{sub c}/D{sup 0} ratio, which is expected to suppress the electron R{sub AA} as the branching ratio of {lambda}{sub c} decay into electrons is smaller than that of D{sup 0}, doesmore »« less

PHENIX EXPERIMENT AT RHIC: DECADAL PLAN 2004-2013

Technical Report ZAJC,W.ET. AL.

The PHENIX Collaboration has developed a plan for the detailed investigation of quantum chromodynamics in the next decade. The demonstrated capabilities of the PHENIX experiment to measure rare processes in hadronic, leptonic and photonic channels, in combination with RHIC's unparalleled flexibility as a hadronic collider, provides a physics program of extraordinary breadth and depth. A superlative set of measurements to elucidate the states of both hot and cold nuclear matter, and to measure the spin structure of the proton has been identified. The components of this plan include: (1) Definitive measurements that will establish the nature of the matter createdmore »« less

PROPOSAL FOR A SILICON VERTEX TRACKER (VTX) FOR THE PHENIX EXPERIMENT.

Technical Report AKIBA, Y

We propose the construction of a Silicon Vertex Tracker (VTX) for the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. The VTX will substantially enhance the physics capabilities of the PHENIX central arm spectrometers. Our prime motivation is to provide precision measurements of heavy-quark production (charm and beauty) in A+A, p(d)+A, and polarized p+p collisions. These are key measurements for the future RHIC program, both for the heavy ion program as it moves from the discovery phase towards detailed investigation of the properties of the dense nuclear medium created in heavy ion collisions, and for the exploration of the nucleon spin-structure functions.
