Source radii at target rapidity from two - proton and two - deuteron correlations in central Pb + Pb collisions at 158 A GeV WA 98

چکیده
Two-proton and two-deuteron correlations have been studied in the target fragmentation region of central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV. Protons and deuterons were measured with the Plastic Ball spectrometer of the WA98 experiment at the CERN SPS. The results of one-dimensional and multi-dimensional analyses using both the Bertsch-Pratt and Yano-Koonin-Podgoretsky parameterizations of the two-particle correlation functions are presented. The proton source exhibits a volume emission, while the deuteron source, with small outward radius, appears opaque. Both proton and deuteron sources have cross-terms R ol and longitudinal velocities β consistent with zero, indicat-

Transverse mass distributions of neutral pions from 208 Pb - induced reactions at 158 · A GeV WA 98
Results on transverse mass spectra of neutral pions measured at central rapidity are presented for impact parameter selected 158·A GeV Pb + Pb, and Pb + Nb collisions. The distributions cover the range 0.5 GeV/c ≤ mT − m0 ≤ 4GeV/c . The change of the spectral shape and the multiplicity with centrality is studied in detail. In going from p+p to semi-peripheral Pb+Pb collisions there is a nuclear...
متن کاملCentral Coulomb Effects on Pion Interferometry
Using a simple final-state rescattering model coupled with a simple Coulomb model, the effects of the central Coulomb potential on pion interferometry measurements in 158 GeV/nucleon Pb+Pb collisions are explored. Although the central Coulomb potential does not introduce correlations between pions, it does prevent an accurate measurement of the momentum difference. This momentum difference smea...
متن کاملProduction and Angular Correlations in 158 A GeV p + A and
Recent results of the WA98 experiment with p and Pb induced reactions at 158 AGeV are presented. Azimuthal γ-γ correlations at high p T were studied in search for a signal of jet-like structures. A clear indication for back-to-back correlations can be seen in p+A with a strong dependence on the p T of the photons and the size of the system. In Pb+Pb collisions in plane elliptic flow has been ob...

Two-particle correlation functions of negative hadrons over wide phase space, and transverse mass spectra of negative hadrons and deuterons near mid-rapidity have been measured in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon by the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS. A novel Coulomb correction procedure for the negative two-particle correlations is employed making use of the measured oppositely...
متن کاملTwo-proton Correlations from Pb+pb Central Collisions
The two-proton correlation function at midrapidity from Pb+Pb central collisions at 158 AGeV has been measured by the NA49 experiment. The preliminary results are compared to model predictions from proton source distributions of static thermal Gaussian sources and the transport models of rqmd and venus. We obtain an effective proton source size σeff = 4.0 ± 0.15(stat.) +0.06 −0.18 (syst.) fm. T...
