Baryon Stopping at HERA: Evidence for Gluonic Mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent results from the H1 experiment [1] has confirmed the existence of a substantial baryon asymmetry of the proton sea at small x with magnitude predicted in [2]. This is a strong support for the idea [3] that baryon number can be transferred by gluons through a large rapidity interval without attenuation. In this paper we calculate the dependence of baryon asymmetry on associated multiplicity of produced hadrons which turns out to be very sensitive to the underlying dynamics. Comparison with data [1] confirms the dominance of the gluonic mechanism of baryon number transfer and excludes any substantial contribution of valence quark exchange.

Baryon Number Transport via Gluonic Junctions
A novel non-perturbative gluon junction mechanism is introduced within the HIJING/B nuclear collision event generator to calculate baryon number transport and hyperon production in pA and AA collisions. This gluonic mechanism can account for the observed large mid-rapidity valence baryon yield in Pb + Pb at 160 AGeV and predicts high initial baryon densities at RHIC. However, the highly enhance...
متن کاملRole of Large Gluonic Excitation Energy for Narrow Width of Penta-Quark Baryons in QCD String Theory
We study the narrow decay width of low-lying penta-quark baryons in the QCD string theory in terms of gluonic excitations. In the QCD string theory, the penta-quark baryon decays via a gluonic-excited state of a baryon and meson system, where a pair of Y-shaped junction and anti-junction is created. Since lattice QCD shows that the lowest gluonicexcitation energy takes a large value of about 1 ...
متن کاملCHARM PRODUCTION IN ep INTERACTIONS AT HERA and EVIDENCE FOR A NARROW ANTI-CHARMED BARYON STATE AT H1
Recent results on open charm production at HERA are presented. Charm quarks are identified via the reconstruction of D-mesons. The charm contribution to the proton structure function is shown. Evidence for an exotic anti-charmed baryon state observed by H1 is presented. The data show a narrow resonance in the Dp invariant mass combination at 3099±3stat±5syst MeV. The resonance is interpreted as...
متن کامل0 Baryon stopping in high energy collisions in the DPMJET – III model
A recently discovered feature of hadron production in nuclear collisions is the large stopping of the participating nucleons in hadron–nucleus and nucleus– nucleus collisions. Experimental data demonstrating this effect have been presented in [1,2]. Multistring fragmentation models like the Dual Parton Model (DPM) or similar models did originally not show this enhanced stopping in nuclear colli...
متن کاملBaryon stopping as a probe for highly excited nuclear matter
The amount of baryon stopping in central P b + P b collisions from 20 – 160 A·GeV as well as hyperon rapidity distributions are calculated within the UrQMD model in comparison to experimental data at 40, 80 and 160 A·GeV taken recently from the NA49 collaboration. Furthermore, the amount of baryon stopping at 160 A·GeV for P b+P b collisions is studied as a function of centrality in comparison ...
