Neutral Meson Measurement at Phenix
نویسنده
چکیده
Measurements from the RHIC experiments show strong suppression of high-pT hadrons in central Au+Au collisions. The PHENIX experiment has observed strong suppression of π0 and charged hadron yields in central Au+Au collisions for pT > 5 GeV/c regardless of pT and particle species. The observed suppression is interpreted in terms of energy loss of quarks in a high-density medium. The PHENIX Year-4 Au+Au measurements have extended the pT reach of the π0 spectra to 20 GeV/c. And the PHENIX Year-5 Cu+Cu measurements performed for the study of particle production in a lighter system and they can provide the system-size dependence of the suppression. The suppression patterns of π0/η at high pT are presented for each collision system (Au+Au/Cu+Cu).

Measurement of leptonic and hadronic decays of ω-and φ-mesons at RHIC by PHENIX Abstract. The PHENIX experiment at RHIC measured production of the ω-and φ-mesons in p + p, d + Au and Au + Au collisions at √ s N N = 63 and 200 GeV. Particle properties were studied using hadronic and di-electron decay channels. Transverse momentum (mass) spectra measured in different decay modes are found to be i...
متن کاملφ- meson Production at RHIC energies using the PHENIX Detector
Light vector mesons are among the most informative probes to understand the strongly coupled Quark Gluon Plasma created at RHIC. The suppression of light mesons at high transverse momentum, compared to expectations from scaled p + p results, reflects the properties of the strongly interacting matter formed. The φ-meson is one of the probes whose systematic measurement in p + p, d + Au and Au + ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the neutral pion cross section in proton - proton collisions at √ s = 200 GeV with PHENIX
The inclusive cross section for neutral pion production in the range 1 < p T < 13 GeV/c in |η| < 0.35 has been measured by the PHENIX experiment in proton-proton collisions at √ s = 200 GeV. An NLO pQCD calculation is, within the experimental and theoretical uncertainties, consistent with the measurement.
متن کاملHeavy Vector Meson Measurement in the PHENIX Experiment
The primary goal of the PHENIX collaboration is the detection and characterization of the quark-gluon plasma. One of the proposed signatures of the quark-gluon plasma is the suppression of J/ production 1. We will outline the capabilities of the PHENIX experiment for measuring leptonic decays of the J/ and other quarkonium states.
