Determination of Azimuthal Anisotropy of π from the Measured Anisotropy of Photons in Ultra-Relativistic Nuclear Collisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is suggested to deduce the anisotropy in neutral pions by measuring the azimuthal anisotropy of photons in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. The ratio of the estimated anisotropy in photons to the anisotropy in neutral pions is seen to scale with a parameter which depends on photon multiplicity and anisotropy. This parameter can be determined from experimental data.

Identified charged particle azimuthal anisotropy in PHENIX at RHIC
Event anisotropy is expected to have sensitivity to the early stage of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. The possible formation of a quark gluon plasma (QGP) could affect how the initial anisotropy in the space coordinate is transferred into the momentum space for the final state. The anisotropy parameter (v2) is an amplitude of the 2nd harmonic parameter of the azimuthal distrib...
متن کاملMaximum azimuthal anisotropy of neutrons from Nb-Nb collisions at 400A MeV and the nuclear equation of state.
We measured the first azimuthal distributions of triple–differential cross sections of neutrons emitted in heavy-ion collisions, and compared their maximum azimuthal anisotropy ratios with Boltzmann–Uehling–Uhlenbeck (BUU) calculations with a momentum-dependent interaction. The BUU calculations agree with the tripleand double-differential cross sections for positive rapidity neutrons emitted at...

The azimuthal anisotropy parameter v 2 has been measured with high statistics for identified hadrons in √ s N N = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions with the STAR experiment. At high transverse momentum (p T) a strong v 2 for π + + π − and p + p is observed. In the intermediate p T region, number-of-constituent-quark scaling was tested to high precision. A detailed comparison of v 2 for the multi-strange...
متن کاملIn-plane elliptic flow of resonance particles in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
We analyze the second Fourier coefficient v(2) of the pion azimuthal distribution in noncentral heavy-ion collisions in a relativistic hydrodynamic model. The exact treatment of the decay kinematics of resonances leads to almost vanishing azimuthal anisotropy of pions near the midrapidity, while the matter elliptic flow is in plane at freeze-out. In addition, we reproduce the rapidity dependenc...
متن کاملElliptic flow of η and π Mesons in Heavy-Ion Collisions at 2 AGeV
Azimuthal distributions of η and π mesons emitted at midrapidity in collisions of 1.9 AGeV Ni+Ni and 2 AGeV Ca+Ca are studied as a function of the number of projectile-like spectator nucleons. The observed anisotropy corresponds to a negative elliptic flow signal for η mesons, indicating a preferred emission perpendicular to the reaction plane. In contrast, only small azimuthal anisotropies are...
