Unintegrated parton distributions and pion production in pp collisions at SPS and RHIC energies
نویسنده
چکیده
Inclusive cross sections for pion production in pp collisions are calculated for the first time fully based on unintegrated gluon, quark and antiquark distributions (uPDF). We use recently developed Kwieciński uPDF’s and different phenomenological fragmentation functions (FF) from the literature. In addition to the gg → g diagram we include also gq → q and qg → q diagrams for inclusive parton production. The cross section for pions is obtained then by convoluting the inclusive parton distributions and FFs. Applications for SPS and RHIC are shown.

Systematic Study of High pT Hadron Spectra in pp, pA and AA Collisions from SPS to RHIC Energies
High-pT particle spectra in p+p (p+̄p), p+A and A+B collisions are calculated within a lowest-order (LO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) parton model, including intrinsic transverse momentum, its broadening due to initial multiple parton scattering and jet quenching due to parton energy loss inside a dense medium. The intrinsic kT and its broadening in p+A and A+B collisions due to initial multiple part...

The influence of nuclear multiscattering and shadowing on pion spectra is investigated in pA collisions from CERN SPS to RHIC energies. The calculations are performed in a next-to-leading order (NLO) pQCD-improved parton model, including intrinsic partonic transverse momentum distributions. The nuclear modification of the pion spectra (Cronin effect) is considered at different targets in a wide...
متن کاملHigh-pT Neutral Pion Production in Heavy Ion Collisions at SPS and RHIC
Transverse momentum spectra for neutral pions have been measured by the WA98 experiment in √ snn=17.3 GeV Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS and by the PHENIX experiment in √ snn=130 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. The neutral pion yields in central collisions for both reaction systems are compared to scaled transverse momentum spectra for nucleon-nucleon reactions at the respective energy. At SPS ...
