Direct Photon Production in Au+Au Collisions at RHIC-PHENIX Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
Direct photons have been measured with the PHENIX experiment in Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. The direct photon result obtained with PHENIX-EMCal up to 18 GeV/c is consistent with the NLO pQCD calculation scaled by the nuclear overlap function. The measurement using internal conversion of photons into ee shows the enhancement of the yield comparing with NLO pQCD calculation.

Direct-Photon Production in Au+Au Collisions at RHIC
Results from the PHENIX experiment on direct-photon production in Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV for transverse momenta 1 . pT . 13 GeV/c are presented. Direct-photon yields at high pT scale as expected for particle production in hard processes. This supports jetquenching models which attribute the suppression of high-pT hadrons to the energy loss of fast partons in the quark-gluon plasma....
متن کاملEnhanced Direct Photon Production in Au + Au Collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV in PHENIX
The production of electron pairs with p T between 1 and 5 GeV/c and m < 300 MeV has been measured at mid-rapidity in √ s N N = 200 GeV p + p and Au+Au collisions by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. A significant excess above the hadronic background was observed in both p + p and Au+Au collisions. Treating the excess as internal conversion of direct photons, the direct photon yield in Au+Au was fo...

متن کاملSystematic Study of High-pT Direct Photon Production with the PHENIX Experiment at RHIC
When studying the initial state and evolution of the matter created in relativistic heavy ion collisions, high-pT direct photons are a powerful probe. They are created in initial hard processes and in parton fragmentation, and possibly in interactions of partons with the hot and dense medium. We present systematic measurements of high-pT direct photon production in √ sNN = 200 GeV p+p and Au+Au...
متن کاملHigh-p T Direct-photon Results from Phenix * Klaus Reygers for the Phenix Collaboration
Direct-photon measurements in p+p and Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV from the PHENIX experiment are presented. The p+p results are found to be in good agreement with next-to-leading-order (NLO) pertur-bative QCD calculations. Direct-photon yields in Au+Au collisions scale with the number of inelastic nucleon-nucleon collisions and don't exhibit the strong suppression observed for charged ...
