Energy dependence of fluctuations in central Pb+Pb collisions from NA49 at the CERN SPS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The latest NA49 results on fluctuations of multiplicity and average transverse-momentum analyzed on an event-by-event basis are presented for central Pb+Pb interactions over the whole SPS energy range (20A 158A GeV). The scaled variance of the multiplicity distribution decreases with collision energy whereas the ΦpT measure of 〈pT 〉 fluctuations is small and independent of collision energy. Thus in central Pb+Pb collisions these fluctuations do not show an indication of the critical point of strongly interacting matter.

Multiplicity Fluctuations in Heavy Ion Collisions at CERN SPS
The system size and centrality dependence of multiplicity fluctuations in nuclear collisions at 158A GeV as well as the energy dependence for the most central Pb + Pb collisions were studied by the NA49 experiment at CERN SPS. A strong increase of fluctuations was observed with decreasing centrality in C+C, Si+Si and Pb+Pb collisions. The string hadronic models (UrQMD, Venus, HIJING, HSD) can n...
متن کاملAnti-nuclei and nuclei production in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS energies
We present new results on production of He and t obtained by the NA49 experiment in 20A, 30A, 40A and 80A GeV central Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. Transverse mass spectra and rapidity distributions for clusters measured over a large phase space domain are discussed. We observe a weak dependence of the mid-rapidity t/He ratio on collision energy at SPS. The energy dependence of the total yi...
متن کاملOnset of Deconfinement in Pb+Pb Collisions at the Cern SPS
The NA49 fixed-target experiment studied high energy–density matter produced in nucleus–nucleus reactions at the CERN SPS. In central Pb+Pb collisions at 158A GeV the energy density at the early stage substantially exceeds the threshold for quark deconfinement predicted by lattice QCD. The produced matter shows strong transverse and longitudinal flow. Ratios of yields of produced particles are ...
متن کاملOnset of Deconfinement and Critical Point: NA49 and NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS
This paper is dedicated to the memory of József Zimányi one of the founders of the experiment NA49 at the CERN SPS. Firstly, the paper summarizes the main results of NA49 concerning observation of the onset of deconfinement in central Pb+Pb collisions at the low SPS energies. Secondly, it sketches the physics program of NA61 at the CERN SPS, the successor of NA49, which in particular aims to di...
متن کاملNa49 Energy Scan Results for Central Lead-lead Collisions at the Cern Sps
The energy dependence of hadron production in central Pb-Pb collisions at SPS energies is presented and compared with data at lower and higher energies and with results from p-p interactions. It is observed that there is little change in transverse activity in the SPS energy range, that there is a steepening rate of increase of pion production and that the K/π ratio exhibits a sharp peak locate...
