0 Bremsstrahlung from a Microscopic Model of Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

چکیده
We compute bremsstrahlung arising from the acceleration of individual charged baryons and mesons during the time evolution of high-energy Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider using a microscopic transport model. We elucidate the connection between bremsstrahlung and charge stopping by colliding artificial pure proton on pure neutron nuclei. From the intensity of low energy bremsstrahlung, the time scale and the degree of stopping could be accurately extracted without measuring any hadronic observables.

متن کاملBremsstrahlung from Electrons and Positrons in Peripheral Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
We study the spectrum of the bremsstrahlung photons coming from the electrons and positrons, which are produced in the strong electromagnetic fields present in peripheral relativistic heavy ion collisions. We compare different approaches, making use of the exact pair production cross section in heavy ion collisions as well as the double equivalent photon approximation. 25.75.-q,13.40.-f Typeset...
متن کاملParticle-Production Mechanism in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
We discuss the production of particles in relativistic heavy-ion collisions through the mechanism of massive bremsstrahlung, in which massive mesons are emitted during rapid nucleon acceleration. This mechanism is described within the framework of classical hadrodynamics for extended nucleons, corresponding to nucleons of finite size interacting with massive meson fields. This new theory provid...
متن کاملNucleus-nucleus Bremsstrahlung from Ultrarelativistic Collisions
The bremsstrahlung produced when heavy nuclei collide is estimated for central collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Soft photons can be used to infer the rapidity distribution of the outgoing charge. An experimental design is outlined. 25.75.-q, 13.40.-f Typeset using REVTEX ∗[email protected] †[email protected] ‡[email protected] §sansweiss@hepmai...
متن کاملDilepton production by bremsstrahlung of meson fields in nuclear collisions
We study the bremsstrahlung of virtual ω–mesons due to the collective deceleration of nuclei at the initial stage of an ultrarelativistic heavy–ion collision. It is shown that electromagnetic decays of these mesons may give an important contribution to the observed yields of dileptons. Mass spectra of e+e− and μ+μ− pairs produced in central Au+Au collisions are calculated under some simplifying...
