SPhT-98/145 FIAN/TD-28/98 ANGULAR PATTERN OF MINIJET TRANSVERSE ENERGY FLOW IN HADRON AND NUCLEAR COLLISIONS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The azimuthal asymmetry of the minijet system produced in nucleon-nucleon and nuclear collisions in a central rapidity window is studied. We show that in pp collisions the minijet transverse energy production in a central rapidity window is essentially unbalanced in azimuth due to asymmetric contributions from one jet and two jet contributions. We show that at RHIC energy the distributions describing the azimuthal asymmetry of the minijet system produced in nuclear collisions are quite broad and irregular, while at LHC energy they are close to Lorentzian when averaged over all impact parameters and to Gaussian for central collisions. The relative distribution width grows with diminishing azimuthal acceptance window.

Fian/td-98/24 Minijet Transverse Energy Production in the Next-to-leading Order in Hadron and Nuclear Collisions
The transverse energy flow generated by minijets in hadron and nuclear collisions into a given rapidity window in the central region is calculated in the next-to-leading (NLO) order in QCD at RHIC and LHC energies. The NLO transverse energy production in pp collisions cross sections are larger than the LO ones by the factors of KRHIC ∼ 1.9 and KLHC ∼ 2.1 at RHIC and LHC energies correspondingly...
متن کاملAngular Pattern of Minijet Transverse Energy Flow in Hadron and Nuclear Collisions
The azimuthal asymmetry of minijet system produced at the early stage of nucleon-nucleon and nuclear collisions in a central rapidity window is studied. We show that in pp collisions the minijet transverse energy production in a central rapidity window is essentially unbalanced in azimuth due to asymmetric contributions in which only one minijet hits the acceptance window. We further study the ...
متن کاملAzimuthal Asymmetry in Transverse Energy Flow in Nuclear Collisions at High Energies
The azimuthal pattern of transverse energy flow in nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is considered. We show that the probability distribution of the event-by-event azimuthal disbalance in transverse energy flow is essentially sensitive to the presence of the semihard minijet component.

متن کاملMinijet and Transverse Energy Production in the BFKL Regime
Minijet production in hadronic and nuclear collisions through a BFKL pomeron ladder is studied for the energies of the future LHC heavy-ion collisions. We use unintegrated gluon densities compatible with the small-x increase of parton distributions observed at HERA. We show that at LHC energies the BFKL minijet and transverse energy production is at most of the same order of magnitude as that i...
