Measurements of Hard-Scattering by PHENIX at RHIC
Hard-scattering in p-p collisions was discovered in 1972 at the CERN-ISR, the first hadron collider. Techniques were developed and several hard-processes were discovered which form the basis for many of the measurements made in p-p and Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Recent measurements of hard-scattering and related reactions by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC are presented in this context.
متن کاملMeasurements of dilepton continuum at the PHENIX experiment at RHIC
PHENIX has measured the dielectron continuum in √ sNN=200 GeV Au+Au and p+p collisions. In minimum bias Au+Au collisions the dielectron yield in the mass range between 150 and 750 MeV/c2 is enhanced by a factor of 3.4±0.2(stat.)±1.3(syst.)±0.7(model) compared to the expectation from our model of hadron decays that well reproduces the mass spectrum in p+p collisions. The integrated yield increas...
متن کاملPHENIX Experiment at RHIC
The primary goal of the PHENIX collaboration is the detection and characterization of the quark-gluon plasma. We will outline the capabilities of the PHENIX experiment for measuring leptonic decays of the J/ and other quarkonium states.
متن کاملResults from PHENIX at RHIC
In nucleus-nucleus collisions at large c.m. energy or baryon density, a phase transition is expected from a state of nucleons containing confined quarks and gluons to a state of “deconfined” (from their individual nucleons) quarks and gluons, in chemical and thermal equilibrium, covering a volume that is many units of the confining length scale. This state of nuclear matter was originally given...
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Production at PHENIX at RHIC
A study of heavy flavor production in different collision systems in various kinematic regions presents an opportunity to probe cold nuclear medium and hot dense matter effects. Results from the PHENIX experiment on J/ψ and open charm production in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sNN =200 GeV are presented. The data show strong J/ψ suppression in central AA collisions, similar to NA50 results, an...
