Anomalous suppression of π 0 production at large transverse momentum in Au + Au and d + Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a model of suppression of large pT -pions in heavy ion collisions based on the interaction of the large pT pion with the dense medium created in the collision. The model is practically the same as the one previously introduced to describe J/ψ suppression. Both the pT and the centrality dependence of the data are reproduced. In deuteron-gold collisions, the effect of the final state interaction with the dense medium turns out to be negligibly small. Here the main features of the data are also reproduced both at mid and at forward rapidities. LPT-Orsay-04-25 February 2004 Unité Mixte de Recherche UMR n◦ 8627 CNRS

The rapidity dependence of the proton - to - pion ratio in Au + Au and p + p collisions at √ s NN = 62 . 4 and 200
The proton-to-pion yield ratios measured in the BRAHMS experiment for Au+Au and p+p collisions at √ s NN = 62.4 GeV and √ s NN = 200 GeV are presented as a function of transverse momentum and collision centrality within the pseudorapidity range 0 ≤ η ≤ 3.8. A strong pseu-dorapidity dependence of these ratios is observed. In Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV, η ≈ 2.2, and at √ s NN = 62.4 GeV...
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Production in Star
In this contribution, the STAR collaboration at RHIC reports on measurements related to heavy flavor production. We present results from D meson production, and from indirect reconstruction of heavy flavor via semi-leptonic decays, including low transverse momentum muons and the inclusive yield of non-photonic electrons. We focus on the non-photonic electrons, and present results over a broad r...

متن کاملResults on High p T Particle Production from the PHENIX Experiment at RHIC
Transverse momentum (p T) spectra of neutral pions and charged hadrons measured in Au+Au and d+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC are compared to p+p reference spectra at the same √ s NN. In central Au+Au collisions a factor 4 − 5 suppression for neutral pions and charged hadrons with p T > 5 GeV/c is found relative to the p+p reference scaled by the nuclear over...
