Transverse Radial Flow Effects on Two- and Three-Particle Angular Correlations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use a simple a transverse radial boost scenario coupled to PYTHIA events to illustrate the impact radial flow may have on twoand three-particle correlation functions measured in heavy-ion collisions. We show that modest radial velocities can impart strong modifications to the correlation functions, some of which may be interpreted as same side ridge and away side structure that can mimic conical emission.

Angular correlations in multi-jet final states from k⊥-dependent parton showers
We investigate parton-branching methods based on transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions and matrix elements for the Monte Carlo simulation of multi-particle final states at high-energy colliders. We observe that recently measured angular correlations in ep final states with multiple hadronic jets probe QCD coherence effects in the space-like branching, associated with finite-a...
متن کاملJet and Minijet Contributions to Transverse Momentum Correlations in High Energy Collisions
I have been studying the effects of jet and minijet production on momentum fluctuations in proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions. Specifically, I’ve been studying transverse momentum and multiplicity correlations using the Monte Carlo event generator PYTHIA [1]. There are many different types of correlations that occur in nuclear collisions and I’ve been focusing on two: radial flow and jets. ...
متن کاملTwo particle rapidity, transverse momentum, and azimuthal correlations in relativistic nuclear collisions and transverse radial expansion
At the very first stage of an ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collision new particles are produced in individual nucleon-nucleon collisions. In the transverse plane, all particles from a single NN collision are initially located at the same position. The subsequent transverse radial expansion of the system creates strong position-momentum correlations and leads to characteristic rapidity, tr...
متن کاملDD momentum correlations versus relative azimuth as a sensitive probe for thermalization
In high-energy nuclear collisions at LHC, where a QGP might be created, the degree of thermalization at the partonic level is a key issue. Due to their large mass, heavy quarks are a powerful tool to probe thermalization. We propose to measure azimuthal correlations of heavy-quark hadrons and their decay products. Changes or even the complete absence of these initially existing azimuthal correl...
متن کاملCFD Simulation of Parameters Affecting Hydrodynamics of Packed Beds: Effects of Particle Shape, Bed Size, and Bed Length
Packed bed reactors have many applications in different industries such as chemical, petrochemical, and refinery industries. In this work, the effects of some parameters such as the shape and size of particles, bed size, and bed length on the hydrodynamics of the packed beds containing three spherical, cylindrical, and cubic particles types are investigated using CFD. The effect of the combinat...
