O ct 2 00 4 Directed and elliptic flow in 197 Au + 197 Au at intermediate energies

چکیده
Directed and elliptic flow for the Au + Au system at incident energies between 40 and 150 MeV per nucleon has been measured using the INDRA 4π multiPreprint submitted to Elsevier Science 21 October 2004 detector. For semi-central collisions, the elliptic flow of Z ≤ 2 particles switches from in-plane to out-of-plane enhancement at around 100 MeV per nucleon, in good agreement with the result reported by the FOPI Collaboration. The directed flow changes sign at a bombarding energy between 50 and 60 MeV per nucleon and remains negative at lower energies. The conditions for the appearance and possible origins of negative flow are discussed.

متن کاملO ct 2 00 5 PHENIX Results on Open Heavy Flavor Production and Flow in Au + Au Collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV
The paper presents recent PHENIX results for the nuclear modification factor R AA in Au + Au Collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV for the electrons originating from semi-leptonic decays of open heavy flavor carrying particles. We also report the results of the azimuthal asymmetry (v 2) measurement for those electrons, which is directly related to the heavy quark elliptic flow.

The elliptic flow parameter (v 2) for K 0 S and Λ + Λ has been measured at mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV by the STAR collaboration. The v 2 values for both K 0 S and Λ + Λ saturate at moderate p T , deviating from the hydrodynamic behavior observed in the lower p T region. The saturated v 2 values and the p T scales where the deviation begins are particle dependent. Th...

The elliptic flow v2 and the ratio of the shear viscosity over the entropy density, η/s, of gluon matter are calculated from the perturbative QCD (pQCD) based parton cascade Boltzmann approach of multiparton scatterings. For Au+Au collisions at √ s = 200A GeV the gluon plasma generates large v2 values measured at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Standard pQCD yields η/s ≈ 0.08 − 0.15 as...
متن کاملGenuine Flow Systematics for Au+Au at Intermediate Energies
Collective flow observables are being of interest since the beginning of experimental studies of heavy ion collisions, mainly due to their presumed link to the question of nuclear equation of state. The present study is an extension of the ones outlined in [1] of the Au+Au collisions measured at GSI, at energies 40-150 AMeV, using the INDRA detector. Unlike the previous studies, the present one...
