Perturbative QCD Results on Pion Production in pp , pA and AA Collisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We summarize new pQCD results on pion production in proton-proton (pp), proton-nucleus (pA) and nucleus-nucleus (AA) collisions. Our calculation introduces intrinsic parton transverse momentum (k T) and is performed effectively at next-to-leading order (NLO), applying a K factor extracted for jet events. Two different factorization scales, Q = p T,jet /2 and p T,jet are used. Experimental data in pA collisions imply a preference for the latter choice at NLO level. We display our results at CERN SPS for AA collisions .

Neutral pion (π 0) production is calculated in a leading order (LO) perturbative QCD-based model in pp and dAu collisions at √ s = 200 AGeV at midrapidity. The model includes the transverse component of the initial parton distribution. We compare our results for pp collision to experimental data at RHIC energy. We repeat our calculation for the dAu collision and investigate the interplay betwee...
متن کاملSystematic Study of High pT Hadron Spectra in pp, pA and AA Collisions from SPS to RHIC Energies
High-pT particle spectra in p+p (p+̄p), p+A and A+B collisions are calculated within a lowest-order (LO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) parton model, including intrinsic transverse momentum, its broadening due to initial multiple parton scattering and jet quenching due to parton energy loss inside a dense medium. The intrinsic kT and its broadening in p+A and A+B collisions due to initial multiple part...

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, in the 2 GeV< p ⊥ < 6 GeV transverse momentum region, the soft and semi-hard multiple scattering of the incoming nucleons in the nuclear medium results in the broadening of the expected hadronic (e.g. pion) p ⊥ spectra relative to proton-proton (pp) collisions. Thus, higher transverse-momentum regions are populated than in pp collisions. In a perturbat...

متن کاملNuclear Medium Effects in J/ψ Production at Hera-b
In this paper we estimate the influence of the shadowing effect and initial state parton energy loss in the quarkonium production at HERA-B. We analyze the xF behavior of the effective exponent α(xF ) and present a comparison with the preliminary HERA-B data for J/Ψ production. Moreover, we estimate the magnitude of these effects in the J/Ψ production at RHIC. The relativistic collider faciliti...
