Suppression of soft nuclear bremsstrahlung in proton-nucleus collisions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photon energy spectra up to the kinematic limit have been measured in 190 MeV proton reactions with light and heavy nuclei to investigate the influence of the multiple-scattering process on the photon production. Relative to the predictions of models based on a quasifree production mechanism, a strong suppression of bremsstrahlung is observed in the low-energy region of the photon spectrum. We attribute this effect to the interference of photon amplitudes due to multiple scattering of nucleons in the nuclear medium.

The Comparison of the shares of stopping power in a soft tissue-equivalent material
Introduction: Proton therapy is a type of radiation treatment that it uses protons to treat cancer. Because of the protons’ unique ability to distribute the radiation dose more directly to the tumor, it minimizes the damage to nearby healthy tissues. The rate of energy loss by the ion in the target is called stopping power. The total stopping power is sum nuclear and electroni...

Prompt gluons are an additional source for charmonium suppression in nuclear collisions, in particular for nucleus-nucleus collisions. These gluons are radiated as bremsstrahlung in N-N collisions and interact inelastically with the charmonium states while the nuclei still overlap. The spectra and mean number n g of the prompt gluons are calculated perturbatively and the inelastic cross section...

I give a pedagogical survey of the nuclear collective effects associated with gluon saturation and their impact on particle production in high–energy proton (or deuteron)–nucleus collisions at RHIC. At central rapidity, the theory predicts a Cronin peak due to independent multiple scattering off the valence quarks in the nucleus. At forward rapidities, the peak flattens out and disappears very ...
متن کاملDynamics and Phenomenology of Charmonium Production off Nuclei
Nuclear suppression of charmonium production in proton-nucleus interactions is poorly understood, what restrains our attempts to single out unusual effects in heavy ion collisions. We develop a phenomenological approach, based on the lightcone dynamics of charmonium production, which has much in common with deepinelastic scattering and Drell-Yan lepton pair production. The key observation is th...
متن کامل[Suppression?].
In proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions up to central S −U interactions, the P T-dependence of J/ψ production is determined by initial state parton scattering and pre-resonance nuclear absorption (" normal " J/ψ suppression). The " anomalous " J/ψ suppression in P b−P b collisions must reduce the normal P T broadening, since it occurs mainly in the central part of the interaction regio...
