Future of low-x forward physics at RHIC
Comparisons of particle production from high-energy ion collisions with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations show good agreement down to moderate transverse momentum values. Distributions of azimuthal angle differences between coincident hadrons in these collisions support a partonic origin to the particle production, again down to moderate transverse momentum values. The rapidit...
متن کاملRhic Spin Physics
We describe the foreseen spin physics of the polarized proton-proton collider at RHIC. The study of the spin structure of the nucleon at RHIC is unique and complementary to the traditional polarized DIS experiments. The sensitivities of the gluon polarization measurement via prompt photon production and anti-quark polarization measurement using W production with the PHENIX detector system are r...
متن کاملRHIC Critical Point Search: Assessing STAR’s Capabilities
In this report we discuss the capabilities and limitations of the STAR detector to search for signatures of the QCD critical point in a low energy scan at RHIC. We find that a RHIC low energy scan will cover a broad region of interest in the nuclear matter phase diagram and that the STAR detector — a detector designed to measure the quantities that will be of interest in this search — will prov...
متن کاملFuture Measurements at RHIC
I review the present status of measurements at RHIC and suggest possible upgrades which will be necessary to answer some of the most critical questions in Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics.
متن کاملOverview of Charm Physics at RHIC
Heavy-quark production provides a sensitive probe of the gluon structure of nucleons and its modication in nuclei. It is also a key probe of the hot-dense matter created in heavy-ion collisions. We will discuss the physics issues involved, as seen in quarkonia and open heavy-quark production, starting with those observed in proton-proton collisions. Then cold nuclear matter effects on heavy-qua...
