  1. Event Patterns Extracted from Transverse Momentum and Rapidity Spectra of Z Bosons and Quarkonium States Produced in pp and Pb-Pb Collisions at LHC

    Chen, Ya-Hui; Liu, Fu-Hu; Lacey, Roy - Advances in High Energy Physics
    Trmore » ansverse momentum ( p T ) and rapidity ( y ) spectra of Z bosons and quarkonium states (some charmonium c c ¯ mesons such as J / ψ and ψ ( 2 S ) and some bottomonium b b ¯ mesons such as Υ ( 1 S ) , Υ ( 2 S ) , and Υ ( 3 S ) ) produced in proton-proton (pp) and lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions at the large hadron collider (LHC) are uniformly described by a hybrid model of two-component Erlang distribution for p T spectrum and two-component Gaussian distribution for y spectrum. The former distribution results from a multisource thermal model, and the latter one results from the revised Landau hydrodynamic model. The modelling results are in agreement with the experimental data measured in pp collisions at center-of-mass energies s = 2.76 and 7 TeV and in Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair s N N = 2.76 TeV. Based on the parameter values extracted from p T and y spectra, the event patterns (particle scatter plots) in two-dimensional p T - y space and in three-dimensional velocity space are obtained.« less

  2. Searching for Minimum in Dependence of Squared Speed-of-Sound on Collision Energy

    Liu, Fu-Hu; Gao, Li-Na; Lacey, Roy - Advances in High Energy Physics
    Experimore » mental results of the rapidity distributions of negatively charged pions produced in proton-proton ( p - p ) and beryllium-beryllium (Be-Be) collisions at different beam momentums, measured by the NA61/SHINE Collaboration at the super proton synchrotron (SPS), are described by a revised (three-source) Landau hydrodynamic model. The squared speed-of-sound parameter c s 2 is then extracted from the width of rapidity distribution. There is a local minimum (knee point) which indicates a softest point in the equation of state (EoS) appearing at about 40 A  GeV/ c (or 8.8 GeV) in c s 2 excitation function (the dependence of c s 2 on incident beam momentum (or center-of-mass energy)). This knee point should be related to the searching for the onset of quark deconfinement and the critical point of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) phase transition.« less
