Quark-Gluon Plasma Signatures
نویسنده
چکیده
Aspects of quark-gluon plasma signatures that can be measured by CMS are discussed. First the initial conditions of the system from minijet production are introduced, including shadowing effects. Color screening of the Upsilon family is then presented, followed by energy loss effects on charm and bottom hadrons, high pT jets and global observables. ∗) This work was supported in part by the Director, Office of Energy Research, Division of Nuclear Physics of the Office of High Energy and Nuclear Physics of the U.

Signatures of Quark-Gluon Plasma Phase Transition in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions
In high-energy nuclear collisions, the new phase of the quark-gluon plasma is indicated by an anomalous increase in pressure, an excess of direct photon production, an excess of strangeness production, and an anomalous J/ψ suppression. We review these signatures and discuss how recent high-energy heavy-ion experiments at CERN are consistent with the production of the quark-gluon plasma in high-...
متن کاملModeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملStrangeness and Charm Signatures of the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Strangeness, charmonium and open charm yields in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions are considered within statistical model approach as potential signals of the quark-gluon plasma.
متن کاملThe Search for the Quark- Gluon Plasma
We provide an overview of the present understanding of the transition from hadrons to a quark-gluon plasma, its signatures, and the experimental results so far. We discuss results of numerical simulations of the lattice gauge theory and critically evaluate the various observables that have been proposed as signatures of the QCD phase transition. We place the existing data from relativistic heav...
متن کاملThe Quark Gluon Pion Plasma
While it is commonly believed that there is a direct transition from the hadronic to a quark gluon phase at high temperature, it would be prejudicial to rule out a sequence of dynamically generated intermediate scales. Using as guide, an effective lagrangian with unconfined gluons and constituent quarks, interacting with a chiral multiplet, we examine a scenario in which the system undergoes fi...
متن کاملHeavy Vector Meson Measurement in the PHENIX Experiment
The primary goal of the PHENIX collaboration is the detection and characterization of the quark-gluon plasma. One of the proposed signatures of the quark-gluon plasma is the suppression of J/ production 1. We will outline the capabilities of the PHENIX experiment for measuring leptonic decays of the J/ and other quarkonium states.
