Title: D Meson Sensitivity to a System Size Scan at LHC

Abstract

Experimental measurements in pA collisions indicate no D meson suppression (R_pPb ~ 1) but a surprisingly large v₂. To better understand these results we propose a system size scan at the LHC involving ¹⁶OO, ⁴⁰ArAr, ¹²⁹XeXe and ²⁰⁸PbPb collisions. Using Trento+ v-USPhydro+DAB-MOD to make predictions, we find that the R_AA tends towards unity when the system size is decreased, but nonetheless, in the most central collisions v₂{2} is almost independent of the colliding system. Furthermore, these results are analyzed in light of path length and initial eccentricity variations.

Heavy flavor dynamics across system size at the LHC

Journal Article Katz, Roland ; Prado, Caio G. ; Noronha-Hostler, Jacquelyn ; ... - Journal of Physics. Conference Series

One of the fundamental signatures of the Quark Gluon Plasma has been the suppression of heavy flavor (specifically D mesons), which has been measured via the nuclear modification factor, R_AA and azimuthal anisotropies, v_n, in large systems. However, multiple competing models can reproduce the same data for R_AA to v_n. In this talk we break down the competing effects that conspire together to successfully reproduce R_AA and v_n in experimental data using Trento+v-USPhydro+DAB-MOD. Then using our best fit model we make predictions for R_AA and v_n across system size for ²⁰⁸PbPb, ¹²⁹XeXe, ⁴⁰ArAr, and ¹⁶OO collisions. We find that 0–10%more »« less

System-size scan of D meson R_AA and v_n using PbPb, XeXe, ArAr, and OO collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

Journal Article Katz, Roland ; Prado, Caio G. ; Noronha-Hostler, Jacquelyn ; ... - Physical Review C

Here, experimental measurements indicate no suppression (e.g. R_pPb ~ 1) but a surprisingly large D meson v₂ was measured in pPb collisions. In order to understand these results we use Trento+v-USPhydro+DAB-MOD to make predictions and propose a system size scan at the LHC involving ²⁰⁸PbPb, ¹²⁹XeXe, ⁴⁰ArAr, and 16OO collisions. We find that the nuclear modification factor approaches unity as the system size is decreased, but nonetheless, in the 0–10% most central collisions v₂{2} is roughly equivalent regardless of system size. These results arise from a rather non-trivial interplay between the shrinking path length and the enhancement of eccentricities inmore »« less

Sensitivity of D meson azimuthal anisotropies to system size and nuclear structure

Journal Article Katz, Roland ; Prado, Caio A. G. ; Noronha-Hostler, Jacquelyn ; ... - PoS - Proceedings of Science

Recent experimental data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) confirmed that the soft sector azimuthal anisotropies in central XeXe collisions are sensitive to deformations in the wave function of the Xenon nucleus. Additionally, the CMS experiment found that D meson flow is slightly suppressed compared to other particle species when considering quark number scaling in small systems of pPb compared to PbPb. In this talk we used the D and B Mesons Modular (DAB-MOD) code coupled to Trento+v-USPhydro to calculate the R_AA and v_n’s of D mesons using different energy loss models and Langevin techniques. Comparing D mesons R_AA andmore »« less

Heavy flavour dynamics in event-by-event viscous hydrodynamic backgrounds

Journal Article Katz, Roland ; Prado, Caio A. G. ; Noronha-Hostler, Jacquelyn ; ... - PoS - Proceedings of Science

We investigate the effects of (2+1)d event-by-event fluctuating hydrodynamic backgrounds on the nuclear modification factor and momentum anisotropies of heavy-flavor mesons. Using the state-of-the-art D and B mesons modular simulation code (the so-called DAB-mod), updated recently with heavy-light quark coalescence, we perform a systematic comparison of different transport equations, including two energy loss models and a relativistic Langevin model with two drag parametrizations. We present the resulting D⁰ meson R_AA, v₂ and v₃, using the multiparticle cumulant method, in Pb-Pb collisions atmore »« less

Possible octupole deformation of ²⁰⁸Pb and the ultracentral v₂ to v₃ puzzle

Journal Article Carzon, P. ; Rao, S. ; Luzum, M. ; ... - Physical Review C

Recent measurements have established the sensitivity of ultracentral heavy-ion collisions to the deformation parameters of nonspherical nuclei. In the case of ¹²⁹Xe collisions, a quadrupole deformation of the nuclear profile led to an enhancement of elliptic flow in the most central collisions. In ²⁰⁸Pb collisions a discrepancy exists in similar centralities, where either elliptic flow is overpredicted or triangular flow is underpredicted by hydrodynamic models; this is known as the v₂-to-v₃ puzzle in ultracentral collisions. Motivated by low-energy nuclear structure calculations, we consider the possibility that 208Pb nuclei could have a pear-shape deformation (octupole), which has the effect of increasingmore »« less
