Nucleon flow and dilepton production in heavy-ion collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
Nucleon flow in Au+Au collisions at 1 GeV/nucleon region and dilepton spectra in S+Au collisions at SPS energies are analysed in the relativistic transport model. They are shown to be sensitive to the nucleon vector and scalar potentials, respectively, and are thus useful probes of these potentials in dense matter. A recently developed effective Lagrangian with self-interactions of vector as well as scalar fields is found to describe both data reasonably well. Typeset using REVTEX

Seeing phi meson through the dilepton spectra in heavy-ion collisions
Dilepton spectra from the decay of phi mesons produced in heavy-ion collisions at SIS/GSI energies (∼ 2 GeV/nucleon) are studied in the relativistic transport model. We include phi mesons produced from baryon-baryon, pion-baryon, and kaon-antikaon collisions. The cross sections for the first two processes are obtained from an one-boson-exchange model, while that for the last process is taken to...
متن کاملIntermediate mass dilepton production in heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies
Through the analysis of HELIOS-3 data on dilepton spectra, we demonstrate the importance of secondary processes for the dilepton production in heavy-ion collisions in the intermediate mass region. We find that, while the dilepton spectra in proton-induced reactions can be nicely explained by the decay of primary vector mesons, charmed hadrons, and initial Drell-Yan processes, the strong enhance...
متن کاملDilepton Production in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
The present status of our understanding of low mass dilepton production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is discussed. The focus of the discussion will be the sensitivity of dilepton measurements to in medium changes of hadrons and the restoration of chiral symmetry. We will finally discuss how the presence of strong long wavelength pion modes, i.e. disoriented chiral condensates can be see...
متن کاملPhoton Production in Relativistic Nuclear Collisions at Sps and Rhic Energies
Chiral Lagrangians are used to compute the production rate of photons from the hadronic phase of relativistic nuclear collisions. Special attention is paid to the role of the pseudovector a1 meson. Calculations that include reactions with strange mesons, hadronic form factors and vector spectral densities consistent with dilepton production, as well as the emission from a quark-gluon plasma and...
متن کاملDilepton and vector meson production in elementary and in heavy ion reactions
We present a unified description of the vector meson and dilepton production in elementary and in heavy ion reactions. The production of vector mesons is described via the excitation of nucleon resonances. Medium effects in heavy ion reactions are discussed. Dilepton spectra from heavy-ion collisions are considered as a suitable tool to study medium modifications of vector mesons (ρ, ω, φ) in a...
