Identified Particle Production at High Transverse Momentum in Nucleus-nucleus Collisions at Rhic
نویسنده
چکیده
Experimental results for identified hadron spectra in AA collisions at RHIC are reviewed. Jet suppression in central AuAu collisions at 200 GeV is seen in leading meson and baryon spectra at high pt. Enhanced baryon production at intermediate pT (2 < pt < 5 GeV/c) is related to quark content but not its mass. In d+Au collisions Cronin enhancement is observed with larger magnitude for baryons than for mesons, but this difference can not explain the baryon-to-meson ratio in Au+Au collisions. In Au+Au the observations at 62.4 GeV and 200 GeV are very similar, but smaller suppresion of the leading particles is seen at low beam energy, which is evidence for a smooth beam energy dependence of the effect. Near and away side jets seen in two-particle correlations are very similar for the leading baryon and mesons.

High-pt Pion Production in Heavy-ion Collisions at Rhic Energies
Perturbative QCD results on π production are presented in proton-proton, protonnucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions from CERN SPS up to RHIC energy. A Kjet (s, pT , Q) factor obtained from jet production is applied to perform nextto-leading order calculations. Using the intrinsic transverse momentum (kT ) we determined transverse momentum spectra for pions in wide energy region. We have inves...

متن کاملSaturation and parton level Cronin effect: enhancement vs suppression of gluon production in p-A and A-A collisions
We note that the phenomenon of perturbative saturation leads to transverse momentum broadening in the spectrum of partons produced in hadronic collisions. This broadening has a simple interpretation as parton level Cronin effect. The effect appears for systems in which saturation is generated by the ”tree level” GlauberMueller mechanism as well as for those where it results form the nonlinear Q...
