High transverse momentum suppression and surface effects in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions within the PQM model
نویسنده
چکیده
We study parton suppression effects in heavy-ion collisions within the Parton Quenching Model (PQM). After a brief summary of the main features of the model, we present comparisons of calculations for the nuclear modification and the away-side suppression factor to data in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. We discuss properties of light hadron probes and their sensitivity to the medium density within the PQM Monte Carlo framework.

متن کاملJet absorption and corona effect at RHIC: Extracting collision geometry from experimental data
We demonstrate the existence of a finite formation time of strongly interacting plasma in nuclear collisions at RHIC from recent experimental data. To show this, we use a simple model based on Monte Carlo simulation of nucleus-nucleus collisions with realistic nuclear density distribution. The most striking feature of the experimental data an absense of absorption of high transverse momentum pi...
متن کاملCharmonium Production at High pt at RHIC
We calculate transverse-momentum (pt) spectra and elliptic flow of J/ψ’s in Au-Au and Cu-Cu collisions at RHIC. We employ an earlier constructed 2-component approach for direct and regenerated charmonia which is fairly consistent with the centrality dependence of inclusive J/ψ yields at SPS and RHIC. Discrepancies with high-pt data in Cu-Cu collisions are addressed by implementing effects of a ...
متن کامل8 Energy and system size dependence of φ meson production in Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions
We study the beam-energy and system-size dependence of φ meson production (using the hadronic decay mode φ → K+K−) by comparing the new results from Cu+Cu collisions and previously reported Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 62.4 and 200 GeV measured in the STAR experiment at RHIC. Data presented are from midrapidity (|y| <0.5) for 0.4 < pT < 5 GeV/c. At a given beam energy, the transverse momentum di...
متن کاملAntiparticle to particle ratios and identified hadron spectra in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions
New results on antiparticle to particle ratios in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 62.4 and 200 GeV from the PHOBOS experiment at RHIC are presented. Transverse momentum spectra of pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons from Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 62.4 GeV close to mid-rapidity are also discussed. Antiparticle to particle ratios are found to be remarkably independent of the collision...
