Centrality Dependence of J/ψ Production in Au+Au and Cu+Cu Collisions by the PHENIX Experiment at RHIC
J/ψ production has been measured in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) during 2004 and 2005, respectively, at mid-rapidity (|η| ≤ 0.35) via J/ψ → ee decay and at forward rapidity (1.2 ≤ |η| ≤ 2.2) via J/ψ → μμ decay. The nuclear modification factor (RAA) of J/ψ is presented as a function of the collision centralit...
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Production at PHENIX at RHIC
A study of heavy flavor production in different collision systems in various kinematic regions presents an opportunity to probe cold nuclear medium and hot dense matter effects. Results from the PHENIX experiment on J/ψ and open charm production in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sNN =200 GeV are presented. The data show strong J/ψ suppression in central AA collisions, similar to NA50 results, an...
متن کاملJ/ψ production in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at RHIC-PHENIX
The J/ψ is considered to be among the most important probes for the deconfined quark gluon plasma (QGP) created by relativistic heavy ion collisions. While the J/ψ is thought to dissociate in the QGP by Debye color screening, there are competing effects from cold nuclear matter (CNM), feed-downs from excited charmonia and bottom quarks, and regeneration from uncorrelated charm quarks. Measureme...
متن کاملNeutral Meson Measurement at Phenix
Measurements from the RHIC experiments show strong suppression of high-pT hadrons in central Au+Au collisions. The PHENIX experiment has observed strong suppression of π0 and charged hadron yields in central Au+Au collisions for pT > 5 GeV/c regardless of pT and particle species. The observed suppression is interpreted in terms of energy loss of quarks in a high-density medium. The PHENIX Year-...
متن کاملJ/ψ production and nuclear effects for d+Au and p+p collisions in PHENIX
PHENIX has measured J/ψ production at backward, central and forward rapidities both in p+p and d+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV during the third run of the RHIC collider. From the p+p collisions, we measure the total J/ψ cross section. From the d+Au collisions, we compute the nuclear modification factor versus transverse momentum, rapidity and centrality. All results presented here are prelim...
