Classical Gluon Radiation in Ultrarelativistic Nucleus–Nucleus Collisions
The classical Yang–Mills equations are solved perturbatively in covariant gauge for a collision of two ultrarelativistic nuclei. The nuclei are taken as ensembles of classical color charges on eikonal trajectories. The classical gluon field is computed in coordinate space up to cubic order in the coupling constant g. We construct the Feynman diagrams corresponding to this field and show the equ...
متن کاملNucleus-nucleus Bremsstrahlung from Ultrarelativistic Collisions
The bremsstrahlung produced when heavy nuclei collide is estimated for central collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Soft photons can be used to infer the rapidity distribution of the outgoing charge. An experimental design is outlined. 25.75.-q, 13.40.-f Typeset using REVTEX ∗[email protected] †[email protected] ‡[email protected] §sansweiss@hepmai...
متن کاملGluon production in current-nucleus and nucleon-nucleus collisions in a quasi-classical approximation
We calculate gluon production in deep inelastic scattering of the current j = − 1 4 F a μνF a μν off a large nucleus and in nucleon-nucleus collisions. In a covariant gauge calculation the transverse momentum spectrum of the gluon is determined by the final state interactions of the gluon with the nucleons in the nucleus. In a light-cone gauge calculation final state interactions are absent and...
متن کاملClassical Initial Conditions for Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions
We present the results of an analytical calculation of the distribution of gluons in the state immediately following a heavy ion collision in the quasi–classical limit of QCD given by McLerran–Venugopalan model. We show that the typical transverse energy ET of the produced gluons is of the order of the saturation scale of the nuclei Qs, as predicted by Mueller. We demonstrate that due to multip...
متن کاملSignals of the quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions
The main motivation for studying nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energy is to learn the properties of the densest and hottest forms of matter that one can produce in the laboratory. One hopes in particular to reach the conditions under which hadronic matter is expected to turn into the quark-gluon plasma, a new phase of matter whose degrees of freedom are the hadron constituents, the quarks ...
