Hbt Analysis of Anisotropic Transverse Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of anisotropic transverse collective flow on the HBT correlation function is studied. There exist three different physics contributions related to flow which affect the correlation function: anisotropic source shape, anisotropic space-momentum correlations in pion emission, and the effects related to the HBT measurement of the size of a moving source in different reference frames. Resolution of these contributions experimentally can lead to a detailed understanding of both collective flow in nucleus-nucleus collisions and the HBT technique itself. A method is presented which permits the derivation of model independent relations between the radius of a source measured in a frame in which it is moving and in its rest frame.

Anisotropic Transverse Flow and the Hbt Correlation Function
Utilizing the Lorentz invariance of the correlation function we study the effects of anisotropic transverse flow on the HBT correlation function. In particular we show that directed flow would evidence itself by non zero “side–long” and “side–out” terms in the correlation function. We also show that the study of ratios of the correlation functions evaluated on different event subsamples and/or ...
متن کاملSpace-time analysis: HBT at SPS and RHIC
The CERN SPS lead beam program has covered for the first time with high statistics all HBT radius parameters of the full three-dimensional parametrization over a wide region in rapidity and transverse momentum (for data, see Ref. [1]). Theory provides by now a detailed data analysis strategy and interpretation (for a review, see Ref. [2]) . In this talk, I summarize the conclusions which we can...
متن کاملInflation of fireballs, the gluon wind and the homogeneity of the HBT radii at RHIC
We solve analytically the ellipsoidally expanding fireball hydrodynamics with source terms in the momentum and energy equations, using the non-relativistic approximation. We find that energy transport from high pt jets of gluons to the medium leads to a transient, exponential inflation of the fireballs created in high energy heavy ion collisions. In this transient, inflatory period, the slopes ...
متن کاملStochastic Analysis of Seepage through Natural Alluvial Deposits Considering Mechanical Anisotropy
The soil is a heterogeneous and anisotropic medium. Hydraulic conductivity, an intrinsic property of natural alluvial deposits varies both deterministically and randomly in space and has different values in various directions. In the present study, the permeability of natural deposits and its influence on the seepage flow through a natural alluvial deposit is studied. The 2D Finite Difference c...
متن کاملDescribing transverse dynamics and space-time evolution at RHIC in a hydrodynamic model with statistical hadronization
A hydrodynamic model coupled to the statistical hadronization code Therminator is used to study a set of observables in the soft sector at RHIC. A satisfactory description of the p⊥-spectra and elliptic flow is obtained, similarly to other hydrodynamic models. With the Gaussian initial conditions the transverse femtoscopic radii are also reproduced, providing a possible solution of the RHIC HBT...
