Production of π 0 and η mesons at large transverse momenta in pp and p Be interactions at 530 and 800 GeV / c

چکیده
We present results on the production of high transverse momentum π0 and η mesons in pp and pBe interactions at 530 and 800 GeV/c. The data span the kinematic ranges: 1 < pT < 10GeV/c in transverse momentum and 1.5 units in rapidity. The inclusive π0 cross sections are compared with next-to-leading order QCD calculations and to expectations based on a phenomenological parton-kT model. PACS numbers: 12.38.Qk, 13.85.Ni Typeset using REVTEX

Inclusive production of ω mesons at large transverse momenta in π − Be interactions at 515 GeV / c
We present results on the production of ω mesons at high transverse momenta in πBe interactions at 515 GeV/c. The data span the kinematic range 3.5 ≤ pT ≤ 8 GeV/c. We compare the measured cross section with expectations from Monte Carlo QCD generators. The relative yield of ω to π mesons is used to extract the ratio of vector to pseudoscalar meson production for the first generation of quarks. ...

The BRAHMS experiment at RHIC has measured the transverse single spin asymmetries in polarized pp induced pion production at RHIC. The results from the RHIC run-5 shows a significant asymmetry for π + and π − at moderate x F. The trend of the data is in agreement with lower energy results while the absolute values are surprisingly large. The p T dependence is approximately inversely propotional...
متن کاملNear-threshold Production of Η-mesons
It is shown that the striking energy variation in the p d → 3He η cross section near threshold is probably due to a final state interaction associated with a large (complex) η − 3He scattering length. The consequences of this hypothesis are studied for the production of the meson in the η − 4He and η − 7Be channels. PACS number(s): 25.40.Ve, 13.75.-n, 25.10.+s The cross sections for the product...
متن کاملResonance production in central pp collisions at the CERN Omega Spectrometer
A study of resonance production in central pp collisions is presented as a function of several kinematical variables. In particular the difference in the transverse momentum (dP T) of the exchanged particles shows that undisputed q ¯ q mesons are suppressed at small dP T whereas glueball candidates are enhanced and in addition, the azimuthal angle φ gives information on the nature of the Pomero...

We present preliminary measurements of electron production in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at √ s N N =200 GeV for transverse momenta 1.5 GeV/c < p T <8 GeV/c as a function of centrality. These measurements were carried out using the STAR Time Projection Chamber and Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter. In this manuscript we describe the measurement techniques used to discriminate electrons fr...
