Charge Particle Multiplicity and Transverse Energy Measurements in Au-Au collisions in PHENIX at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
We present results on charged particle (dNch/dη) and transverse energy densities (dET/dη) measured at mid-rapidity in Au-Au collisions at √ s NN =200 GeV. The mean transverse energy per charged particle is derived. The results are presented as a function of centrality, which is defined by the number of participating nucleons (Np), and compared to results obtained in Au-Au collisions at √ s NN =130 GeV. A comparison with calculations from various theoretical models is performed.

dNch/dη in Heavy Ion Collisions at Mid-rapidity
The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has measured transverse energy and charged particle multiplicity at mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions at √ s NN = 19.6, 130, 62.4 and 200 GeV as a function of centrality. The presented results are compared to measurements from other RHIC experiments, and experiments at lower energies. The √ s NN dependence of dET /dη and dNch/dη per pair of participants is consist...
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 کاملMeasurements from PHENIX
We present recent high transverse momentum measurements by the PHENIX experiment for Au+Au and p+p collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We show particle spectra for neutral pions and charged hadrons, define and show the nuclear modification factor, and discuss particle composition. By means of the nuclear modification factor, we observe a suppression fa...

We present PHENIX recent results on charged particle and transverse energy densities measured at mid-rapidity in Au-Au collisions at √ s NN =130 GeV and 200 GeV over broad range of centralities. The mean transverse energy per charged particle is derived. The first PHENIX measurements at √ s NN =19.6 GeV are also presented. A comparison with calculations from various theoretical models is perfor...

The first results from Au-Au collisions at √ sNN =130 GeV obtained with the PHENIX detector in the Year 2000 run at RHIC are presented. The mid-rapidity charged particle multiplicity and transverse energy per participating nucleon rise steadily with the number of participants, such that ET /N ch remains relatively constant as a function of centrality. Identified charged hadron spectra as well a...
