Multiplicity distributions associated to subthreshold events in heavy-ion collisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subthreshold events (pion production, for instance) at energies E < mπ are treated as rare events. The associated multiplicity distribution Pc(n) and the unconstrained distribution P (n), when there is no rare event-trigger, are related by the model independent relation Pc(n) = n2 〈n2〉 (n) . This relation, and in particular its improved version inspired in clustering of nucleons, is in fair agreement with data. Moreover, it allows to extract from the multiplicity data information on the number of nucleons involved in meson production processes, occuring at energies below the production threshold in free nucleon collisions.

Modeling 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...

The discovery of correlations between particles separated by several units of pseudorapidity in high-multiplicity pp and p–Pb collisions, reminiscent of structures observed in Pb–Pb collisions, was a challenge to traditional ideas about collectivity in heavy ion collisions. In order to further explore long-range correlations and provide information to theoretical models, correlations between fo...

Using a multiphase transport model (AMPT) with both partonic and hadronic interactions, we study the multiplicity and transverse momentum distributions of charged particles such as pions, kaons and protons in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies. Effects due to nuclear shadowing and jet quenching on these observables are also studied. We further show preliminary results on the production o...

Non-statistical event-by-event fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions have been proposed as a probe of phase instabilities near the QCD phase transition. In a thermodynamical picture of the strongly interacting system formed in heavy-ion collisions, the fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum, mean multiplicity fluctuations, the balance function, higher moments of net-particle m...
