The mischievous linear coalescence model and the correct quark counting in heavy ion collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
In this note we point out the origin of the failure of the linear coalescence approach to hadronization of quark matter in heavy ion reaction. We show that the correct quark counting is performed in the simplest possible way by the nonlinear coalescence model, the ALCOR.

Quark liberation and coalescence at CERN SPS
The mischievous linear coalescence approach to hadronization of quark matter is shown to violate strangeness conservation in strong interactions. The simplest correct quark counting is shown to coincide with the non-linear algebraic coalescence rehadronization model, ALCOR. The non-linearity of the ALCOR model is shown to cancel from its simple predictions for the relative yields of (multi-)str...
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 کاملHadronization via Coalescence
We review the quark coalescence model for hadronization in rel-ativistic heavy ion collisions and show how it can explain the observed large baryon to meson ratio at intermediate transverse momentum and scaling of the elliptic flows of identified hadrons. We also show its predictions on higher-order anisotropic flows and discuss how quark coalescence applied to open-and hidden-charm mesons can ...
متن کاملFlavor ordering of elliptic flows at high transverse momentum.
Based on the quark coalescence model for the parton-to-hadron phase transition in relativistic heavy ion collisions, we relate the elliptic flow (upsilon(2)) of high p(T) hadrons to that of high p(T) quarks. For high p(T) hadrons produced from an isospin-symmetric and quark-antiquark-symmetric partonic matter, magnitudes of their elliptic flows follow a flavor ordering as (upsilon(2,pi)=upsilon...
متن کاملEnergy dependence of transverse quark flow in heavy ion collisions
Energy dependence of quark transverse flow carries information about dynamical properties (equation of state, initial conditions) of deconfined matter produced in heavy ion collisions. We assume quark-antiquark matter formation in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS and Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies and determine quark transverse flow at the critical temperature of the quark-hadron phase transitio...
