Inclusive Hadron Production in p+p Collisions at STAR
نویسنده
چکیده
The STAR experiment at RHIC has measured a variety of inclusive hadron cross sections in p + p collisions at √ s = 200 GeV. Measurements of the differential cross section for inclusive charged pion production at mid rapidity and for inclusive neutral pion production at forward rapidity (3.0 < η < 4.2) as well as the first preliminary result from STAR for the differential cross section for inclusive neutral pion production near mid rapidity are presented. These cross sections are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations and can provide constraints on the pion fragmentation functions. Good agreement between data and pQCD has been found for all three cross sections.

Jets and high pT hadrons in dense matter: recent results from STAR
We review recent measurements of high transverse momentum (high pT ) hadron production in nuclear collisions by the STAR Collaboration at RHIC. The previously observed suppression in central Au+Au collisions has been extended to much higher pT . New measurements from d+Au collisions are presented which help disentangle the mechanisms responsible for the suppression. Inclusive single hadron spec...
متن کاملHigh Transverse Momentum Results from the STAR Collaboration
The STAR collaboration presents new measurements of high pT hadron production in Au+Au and p+p collisions at RHIC. We extend the previously reported suppression of inclusive hadrons and large azimuthal anisotropies to much higher transverse momentum, decisively establishing the existence of strong medium effects on hadron production well into the perturbative regime. Near-angle two-particle cor...

STAR has measured forward π 0 production in p+p and d+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV. The p+p yield generally agrees with NLO pQCD calculations. The d+Au yield is strongly suppressed at η = 4.0, well below shadowing expectations. Exploratory measurements of azimuthal correlations between forward π 0 and mid-rapidity charged hadrons show a recoil peak in p+p that is suppressed in d+Au at low ...
متن کاملInclusive cross section and correlations of fully reconstructed jets in √ s NN = 200 GeV / c Au + Au and p + p collisions
We present an experimental study of full jet reconstruction in the high multiplicity environment of heavy ion collisions, utilizing √ sNN = 200 GeV/c p+p and central Au+Au data measured by STAR. Inclusive differential jet production cross sections and ratios are reported, as well as high pT hadron+jet coincidences.
متن کاملRecent results from the STAR spin program at RHIC
The STAR experiment uses polarized p+p collisions at RHIC to determine the contributions to the spin of the proton from gluon spin and from orbital angular momentum of the quarks and gluons. Selective STAR measurements of the longitudinal double spin asymmetry for inclusive jet and inclusive hadron production are presented here. In addition, we report measurements of the transverse spin asymmet...
