System Size Dependence of Azimuthal Correlations in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
Systematic comparisons of jet pair correlations obtained in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at √ sNN =200 GeV are presented. The measured jet-pair distributions for both systems show strong modification of the away-side jet. For the same number of participating nucleons, the modification does not show a strong dependence on the collision system. It is suggested that such comparisons can provide important constraints for models which predict specific path length dependent jet modification effects.

Energy and System-size Dependence of Two-particle Azimuthal Correlations of High-pT Charged Hadrons at the CERN SPS
Angular correlations of high-pT hadrons can serve as a probe of interactions of partons with the dense medium produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions but other sources of such correlations exist which can be non-negligible SPS energies. In an attempt to determine the primary source, NA49 has performed an energy and system-size scan of two-particle azimuthal correlations in central Pb+Pb, S...

The system size dependence of di-hadron azimuthal correlations in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collision is presented by a systematic simulation with a multi-phase transport model. Clear participant path-length and mean number of parton collisions dependences of the associated particle yield and the structure for the away side correlation functions are observed. The splitting parameter D and RM...

Azimuthal correlations of pions in relativistic heavy ion collisions at 1 GeV/nucl. Abstract Triple differential cross sections of pions in heavy ion collisions at 1 GeV/nucl. are studied with the IQMD model. After discussing general properties of ∆ resonance and pion production we focus on azimuthal correlations: At projectile-and target-rapidities we observe an anticorrelation in the in-plane...
