Kaon Interferometry at RHIC from AMPT Model
نویسنده
چکیده
The two-kaon interferometry at RHIC is studied in a multi-phase transport model. Similar to the pion case, we find strong space-time correlation at freeze-out for the kaon emission source, which results in a large positive Rout−t term and tends to reduce the Rout/Rside ratio. Unlike the pion case, the source radii for kaons determined from the emission function are close to the radius parameters extracted from a Gaussian fit to the correlation function. ††.

Hbt Interferometry and the Parton-hadron Phase Transition
We discuss predictions for the pion and kaon interferometry measurements in relativistic heavy ion collisions at SPS and RHIC energies. In particular, we confront relativistic transport model calculations that include explicitly a first-order phase transition from a thermalized quarkgluon plasma to a hadron gas with recent data from the RHIC experiments. We critically examine the HBT-puzzle bot...
متن کاملRecent results from STAR experiment in Au + Au collisions at √ s
Theoretical models suggest that the Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) phase diagram has a critical point demarcating the order of transition between the two phases: the hadron gas, in which the quarks are confined and the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The central goal of the experiments with relativistic heavy-ion collisions is to create and study such form of matter called the QGP and understand the Q...
متن کامل(Strange) Meson Interferometry at RHIC
We make predictions for the kaon interferometry measurements in Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). A first order phase transition from a thermalized Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) to a gas of hadrons is assumed for the transport calculations. The fraction of kaons that are directly emitted from the phase boundary is considerably enhanced at large transverse momenta KT ∼ 1...
متن کاملKaon Interferometry as Signal for the QCD Phase Transition at RHIC †
Pion and kaon correlations in relativistic nuclear collisions are studied in the framework of boost-invariant, cylindrically symmetric hydrodynamics. It is investigated how the inverse widths, Rout, Rside, of the two–particle correlation functions in out– and side–direction depend on the average transverse momentum K⊥ of the particle pair, the initial energy density ǫ0, and the equation of stat...
متن کاملPartonic Effects in Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC
Effects of partonic interactions in heavy ion collisions at RHIC are studied in a multiphase transport model (AMPT) that includes both initial partonic and final hadronic interactions. It is found that a large parton scattering cross section is needed to understand the measured elliptic flow of pions and two-pion correlation function.
