STRING and PARTON PERCOLATION
نویسنده
چکیده
A brief review to string and parton percolation is presented. After a short introduction, the main consequences of percolation of color sources on the following observables in A-A collisions: J/ψ suppression, saturation of the multiplicity, dependence on the centrality of the transverse momentum fluctuations, Cronin effect and transverse momentum distributions, strength of the two and three body Bose-Einstein correlations and forward-backward multiplicity correlations, are presented. The behaviour of all of them can be naturally explained by the clustering of color sources and the dependence of the fluctuations of the number of these clusters on the density.

Predictions for J / ψ Suppression by Parton Percolation
Parton percolation provides geometric deconfinement in the pre-equilibrium stage of nuclear collisions. The resulting parton condensate can lead to charmonium suppression. We formulate a local percolation condition viable for non-uniform collision environments and show that it correctly reproduces the suppression observed for S − U and P b − P b collisions at the SPS. Using this formulation, we...
متن کاملParton Percolation and J/ψ Suppression
The geometric clustering of partons in the transverse plane of nuclear collisions leads for increasing A or √ s to percolation. In the resulting condensate, the partons are de-confined but not yet in thermal equilibrium. We discuss quarkonium dissociation in this precursor of the quark-gluon plasma, with an onset of dissociation when the saturation scale of the parton condensate reaches that of...
متن کامل2 v 1 1 3 Ju l 1 99 9 Implications of percolation of colour strings on multiplicities , correlations and the transverse momentum
In the colour string model the impact of string percolation on multiplicities, p 2 T and their long range (forward-backward) correlations is studied. It is assumed that different string overlaps produce the observed hadrons independently. The multiplicities are shown to be damped by a simple factor which follows from the percolation theory. The p 2 T rise at the same rate as multiplicities fall...
متن کاملWhere Is the Confining String in Random Percolation
The percolating phase of whatever random percolation process resembles the confining vacuum of a gauge theory in most respects, with a string tension having a well-behaved continuum limit, a non trivial glueball spectrum and a deconfinement transition at a well determined temperature Tc. Simple numerical experiments reveal an underlying, strongly fluctuating, confining string, with an internal ...
متن کاملEnergy and System Size Dependence Study of the Percolation Phase Transition
Multiparticle production at high energies is described in terms of color strings stretched between the projectile and target. As the string density increases, overlap in the transverse plane leads to cluster formation. At some critical density a macroscopic cluster appears, spanning the entire system. This marks the percolation phase transition. Data from √ sNN = 200 GeV p+p, d+Au and Au+Au col...
