Baryon stopping signal for mixed phase formation in HIC

چکیده
It is argued that an irregularity in the baryon stopping is a natural consequence of onset of deconfinement occurring in the compression stage of a nuclear collision. It is an effect of the softest point inherent in an equation of state (EoS) with a deconfinement transition. In order to illustrate this effect, calculations within the three-fluid model were performed with three different EoS’s: a purely hadronic EoS, an EoS with a first-order phase transition and that with a smooth crossover transition.

Baryon Stopping and Strangeness Production in Ultra-relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions *
The stopping behaviour of baryons in massive heavy ion collisions ( √ s ≫ 10AGeV) is investigated within different microscopic models. At SPS-energies the predictions range from full stopping to virtually total transparency. Experimental data are indicating strong stopping. The initial baryo-chemical potentials and temperatures at collider energies and their impact on the formation probability ...
متن کاملHot and dense nuclear matter in an extended mean field approach
We investigate the equation of state of hadronic and quark-gluon matter at finite temperature and baryon density considering the possible formation of mixed phase in high energy heavy ion collisions. The analysis is performed by requiring the Gibbs conditions on the global conservation of baryon number, electric charge and strangeness number. For hadronic phase, we study an extended relativisti...
متن کاملBaryon and Antibaryon Production in Hadronic and Nuclear Interactions
We introduce a new formulation of the diquark breaking mechanism which describes with no free parameters the huge nuclear stopping observed in central nucleus-nucleus collisions. Supplemented, in the dual parton model, with strings originating from diquark–antidiquark pairs from the nucleon sea, it gives a substantial increase of hyperon and antihyperon yields from pPb to central PbPb collision...
متن کاملHic-5-reduced cell spreading on fibronectin: competitive effects between paxillin and Hic-5 through interaction with focal adhesion kinase.
Hic-5 is a paxillin homologue that is localized to focal adhesion complexes. Hic-5 and paxillin share structural homology and interacting factors such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK), Pyk2/CAKbeta/RAFTK, and PTP-PEST. Here, we showed that Hic-5 inhibits integrin-mediated cell spreading on fibronectin in a competitive manner with paxillin in NIH 3T3 cells. The overexpression of Hic-5 sequestered ...
متن کاملThe QCD Mixed Phase: Shaken, not Stirred
If the phase transition from quark matter to hadron gas is first order, matter at the appropriate temperatures and densities can exist as a mixed phase consisting of plasma droplets in equilibrium with a surrounding hadronic fluid. If formed in ion collisions, this mixed phase can produce large event-by-event fluctuations as the system hadronizes. Extraordinary baryon fluctuations [1] can accom...
