Expected Trigger Rates of High Pt Jets and Direct Photons in the Star Emc
نویسندگان
چکیده
The STAR experiment at RHIC is a large acceptance detector. The ElectroMagnetic Calorimeter (EMC) will provide a sensitive trigger to study high pt jets and hard photons in AuAu, pp, and pAu collisions. The capability for the EMC to trigger on jets and direct photons was studied for trigger level 0. Trigger efficiencies and expected process rates were obtained for pp and pAu reactions, which will be essential to the interpretation of AuAu results as well as for the spin physics program. These studies were performed with the standard STAR software chain which includes GEANT and EMC simulations. The HIJING event generator was used to provide input for the simulations.

M ar 2 00 4 Correlation of high energy photons and charged particles in p + p and d + Au collisions at √
Azimuthal correlations between high energy photons from π decay (pγT < 10.5 GeV) and charged hadrons (p hadron T above a threshold of 2, 3 or 4 GeV/c) have been measured in p+p and d+Au collisions at √ s = 200 GeV. Clear jet-like correlations are observed at ∆φ = 0 and 180 degrees, with peak widths decreasing with increasing p T . Jet 〈jT 〉 and √ 〈k2 T 〉 in d+Au collisions are deduced from the ...
متن کاملModified Fragmentation Function in Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC via Direct γ-Jet Measurements
The presented results are the first measurements at RHIC for direct γ-charged hadron azimuthal correlations in heavy ion collisions. We use these correlations to study the color charge density of the medium through the medium-induced modification of high-pT parton fragmentation. Azimuthal correlations of direct photons at high transverse energy (8 < pT < 16 GeV) with away-side charged hadrons o...
متن کاملDetermination of γ/π using photon-charge particle correlation measurement in high energy heavy ion and pp collisions
A method has been proposed for the determination of γ to π ratio in high energy pp and nucleus-nucleus collisions at large transverse momentum (pT ). In photon measuring device, it is proposed that shower shape analysis is made to select only cases with wide showers. These candidates come mostly from π. Correlation is measured between those photon candidates as trigger particles and associated ...

The multiplicities of charged particle with transverse momentum (3 < ph ± T < 16 GeV/c) and pseudorapidity (| η | ≤ 1.0) associated with direct photons and π0 of high transverse momentum (8 < p 0 T < 16 GeV ) at mid-rapidity (| η | ≤ 0.9) have been measured over a broad range of centralities for Au+Au collisions and p+ p collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV in the STAR experiment. A transverse shower-...
متن کاملJet-Medium Interactions with Identified Particles
Identified particles have long been of great interest at RHIC in large part because of the baryon/meson differences observed at intermediate pT and the implications for hadronization via quark coalescence. With recent high statistics data identified particles are also now central to understanding the details of the jet-medium interactions and energy loss and hadron formation at intermediate and...
