Formation and Evolution of Quark-gluon Plasma at Rhic and Lhc
نویسنده
چکیده
Initial conditions for quark-gluon plasma formation at τ = 0.1 fm are considered in lowest order perturbative QCD. Chemical composition, thermalization of the formed semihard quark-gluon system and especially implications of the new HERA parton distributions with the enhancement at small x are studied. The plasma at τ = 0.1 fm is shown to be strongly gluon dominated both at RHIC and LHC, and a possibility for rapid thermalization of gluons at LHC is pointed out. Uncertainties in the calculations, particularly shadowing corrections to the parton distributions, are discussed. Free streaming and ideal hydro limits for the evolution of the gluonic plasma with the calculated minijet initial conditions are demonstrated, and a lower limit for final multiplicities obtained for the LHC nuclear collisions. ∗ Plenary talk at Quark Matter ’95, Eleventh Conference on Ultra-Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions, Monterey, CA, U.S.A., January 9-13, 1995.

J/psi production in quark-gluon plasma.
We study J/psi production at RHIC and LHC energies with both initial production at energies reached and the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with regeneration. We solve the coupled set of transport equations for the J/psi distribution in phase space and the hydrodynamic equation for evolution of quark-gluon plasma. At RHIC, continuous regeneration ...
متن کاملProduction and Equilibration of Quark-Gluon Plasma at RHIC and LHC with Minijets
Production and equilibration of quark-gluon plasma are studied within the color flux-tube model, at the RHIC and LHC energies. Non-Abelian relativistic transport equations for quarks, antiquarks and gluons, are solved in the extended phase space which includes coordinates, momenta and color. Before the chromoelectric field is formed, hard and semihard partons are produced via minijets which pro...
متن کاملInduced photon emission from quark jets in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
We study the induced photon bremsstrahlung from a fast quark produced in AA-collisions due to multiple scattering in quark-gluon plasma. For RHIC and LHC conditions the induced photon spectrum is sharply peaked at photon energy close to the initial quark energy. In this region the contribution of the induced radiation to the photon fragmentation function exceeds the ordinary vacuum radiation. C...

Centrality dependence of the nuclear modification factor for the combined (1S+2S+3S) yield in Au-Au at RHIC (upper panels) and for the (1S) in Pb-Pb at LHC, compared to STAR [5] and CMS [6] data. Left and right panels correspond to the strongand weak-binding scenarios, respectively. The green bands indicate uncertainties in pre-equilibrium nuclear absorption and shadowing effects. Bot...
