Does the Cronin Peak Disappear at Lhc Energies?
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work we compare the nuclear modification factors in proton (deuteron) – nucleus collisions at CERN SPS, FNAL and RHIC energies in a wide pT range. In these experiments the nuclear modification factor has shown an enhancement at pT ≈ 4 GeV/c. The height of this “Cronin peak” depends on the c.m. energy of the collision, as it is subject to stronger shadowing at higher energies. One of the aims of this contribution is to analyze the shadowing phenomenon at lower (2 GeV/c . pT . 4 GeV/c) and intermediate (4 GeV/c . pT . 8 GeV/c) transverse momentum. Different shadowing parameterizations are considered and the obtained Cronin peaks are investigated at RHIC and LHC energies.

Induced photon emission from quark jets in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
We study the induced photon bremsstrahlung from a fast quark produced in AA-collisions due to multiple scattering in quark-gluon plasma. For RHIC and LHC conditions the induced photon spectrum is sharply peaked at photon energy close to the initial quark energy. In this region the contribution of the induced radiation to the photon fragmentation function exceeds the ordinary vacuum radiation. C...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) plans to operate as a heavy ion collider for one month each year starting in 2007. LHC will be capable of accelerating a variety of ions up to beam energies of 7 TeV/charge. The design, peak and three-hour-fill-averaged luminosities are presented in Table 1 along with the maximum center of mass energy[1]. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) [2] experiment is a genera...

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will provide excellent opportunity to study the production and decay of heavy mesons and baryons with high statistics. We aim at the heavy mesons in this work and calculate their fragmentation functions consistent with this machine and present their total fragmentation probabilities and average fragmentation parameters.
متن کاملOpportunities for Heavy Ion Physics at the Large Hadron Collider LHC
This talk discusses extrapolations to the LHC of several, apparently universal trends, seen in the data on relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions up to RHIC energies. In the soft physics sector, such extrapolations to the LHC are typically at odds with LHC predictions of the dynamical models, advocated to underlie multiparticle production up to RHIC energies. I argue that due to this, LHC is l...

In this research we study the Mono-Z signature along with dark matter production at the LHC in a renormalizable dark matter model. We look at processes with L+L-+MET in the final state. We simulate signal and background events at central mass energy 14 TeV We then evaluate the LHC sensitivities for some points in the model parameter space for two integrated luminosities L=100 fb-1 and L=1 ab-1 ...
