A New Approach to Nuclear Collisions at RHIC Energies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new parton model approach for nuclear collisions at RHIC energies (and beyond). It is a selfconsistent treatment using the same formalism for calculating cross sections like σtot or σinel and, on the other hand, particle production. Actually, the latter one is based on an expression for the total cross section, expanded in terms of cut Feynman diagrams. Dominant diagrams are assumed to be composed of parton ladders between any pair of nucleons, with ordered virtualities from both ends of the ladder.

Fian/td-98/24 Minijet Transverse Energy Production in the Next-to-leading Order in Hadron and Nuclear Collisions
The transverse energy flow generated by minijets in hadron and nuclear collisions into a given rapidity window in the central region is calculated in the next-to-leading (NLO) order in QCD at RHIC and LHC energies. The NLO transverse energy production in pp collisions cross sections are larger than the LO ones by the factors of KRHIC ∼ 1.9 and KLHC ∼ 2.1 at RHIC and LHC energies correspondingly...

Since June 2000 measurements of Au + Au reactions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) at √ s = 56, 130, 200 AGeV (GeV per nucleon pair) have revealed a variety of novel multiparticle phenomena not observed previously in ee, ep, pp collisions at any energy nor in nuclear collisions at lower (SPS/CERN and AGS/BNL) energies ( √ s = 17, 5 AGeV)....
متن کاملCharmonium Production off Nuclei: from SPS to RHIC
The physics of charmonium suppression in nuclear collisions drastically changes between the energies of SPS and RHIC. Mechanisms suppressing charmonia at the SPS are reviewed, neither of which is important at RHIC. On the other hand, coherence, or shadowing of c quarks and gluons barely seen at SPS, becomes a dominant effect at RHIC providing a much stronger suppression. The onset of coherence ...
متن کاملHigh-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...
