Bombarding energy dependence of pi(-) interferometry at the brookhaven AGS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the first excitation function of pi(-) intensity interferometry at Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) energies (2-8 A GeV). The sensitivity of the multidimensional correlation functions to the geometry and dynamics of the pion-emitting system provides a stringent test of transport models of heavy ion collisions. Detailed comparisons with a realistic transport model, both with and without an explicit nuclear mean field, suggest that the beam energy evolution in the reaction dynamics is different in the model than in the data. A significantly increased pi(-) emission time scale, which has been suggested as a signal of the onset of the transition to quark-gluon plasma, is not observed.

General Theory of Cycle-Dependence of Total pi-Electron Energy
The theoretical treatment of cycle-effects on total pi-electron energy, mainly elaborated by Nenad Trinajstic and his research group, is re-stated in a general and more formal manner. It enables to envisage several other possible ways of measuring the cycle-effects and points at further directions of research.
متن کاملBaryon flow from SIS to AGS energies
We analyze the baryon sideward and elliptic flow from SIS (0.25 ∼ 2 AGeV) to AGS (2 ∼11.0AGeV) energies for Au + Au collisions in the relativistic transport model RBUU that includes all baryon resonances up to a mass of 2 GeV as well as string degrees of freedom for the higher mass continuum. There are two factors which dominantly determine the baryon flow at these energies: the momentum depend...
متن کاملExcitation functions in central Au+Au collisions from SIS/GSI to AGS/Brookhaven
Using the relativistic transport model (ART), we predict the energy dependence of the stopping power, maximum baryon and energy densities, the population of resonance matter as well as the strength of the transverse and radial flow for central Au+Au reactions at beam momentum from 2 to 12 GeV/c available at Brookhaven’s AGS. The maximum baryon and energy densities are further compared to the pr...
متن کاملHydrodynamics near the QCD phase transition: Looking for the longest-lived fireball.
We propose a new strategy for the experimental search of the QCD phase transition in heavy ion collisions: One may tune collision energy around the point where the lifetime of the fireball is expected to be longest. We demonstrate that the hydrodynamic evolution of excited nuclear matter does change dramatically as the initial energy density goes through the " softest point " (where the pressur...
متن کاملEntropy in the Thermal Model
A brief review of the Hadron Gas model with reference to high energy heavy ion collisions is presented. The entropy dependence on temperature and baryonic chemical potential is numerically calculated, together with the entropy distribution between baryons and mesons. The theoretical entropy for a QGP with equivalent parameters is also calculated. It is shown that at low temperatures the dominan...
