Parton Ladder Splitting and the Rapidity Dependence of Transverse Momentum Spectra in Deuteron-Gold Collisions at RHIC
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a phenomenological approach (EPOS), based on the parton model, but going much beyond, and try to understand proton-proton and deuteron-gold collisions, in particular the transverse momentum results from all the four RHIC experiments. It turns out that elastic and inelastic parton ladder splitting is the key issue. Elastic splitting is in fact related to screening and saturation, but much more important is the inelastic contribution, being crucial to understand the data. We investigate in detail the rapidity dependence of nuclear effects, which is actually relatively weak in the model, in perfect agreement with the data, if the latter ones are interpreted correctly.

Proton-proton and deuteron-gold collisions at RHIC
We try to understand recent data on proton-proton and deuteron-gold collisions at RHIC, employing a modified parton model approach. 1 Interesting data from RHIC The nuclear modification factor R = (dNAA/d pt) / (Ncoll dNpp/d pt) shows interesting features: For AuAu, it is much smaller than one for central collisions, whereas for d-Au, it is bigger than one for central collisions. With decreasin...
متن کاملDeuteron-Nucleus Collisions in a Multi-Phase Transport Model
Using a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model, we study pseudo-rapidity distributions and transverse momentum spectra in deuteron-gold collisions at RHIC. We find that final-state partonic and hadronic interactions affect the transverse momentum spectrum of protons more than those of kaons or pions. Relative to p+p collisions at same center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair, the effect of final-stat...
متن کاملHigh p T Hadron Spectra at High Rapidity
We report the measurement of charged hadron production at different pseudo-rapidity values in deuteron+gold as well as proton-proton collisions at √ sNN = 200GeV at RHIC. The nuclear modification factors RdAu and Rcp are used to investigate new behaviors in the deuteron+gold system as function of rapidity and the centrality of the collisions respectively.

متن کاملLower Limits for E T and N Ch from Pqcd & Hydrodynamics at the Central Rapidity Unit in Central Au-au Collisions at Rhic
Final state average transverse energy and charged particle multiplicity at the central rapidity unit of central Au-Au collisions at RHIC are studied within a framework of lowest order perturbative QCD and Bjorken's hydrodynamical picture. In particular, effects of initial minijet production and the pdV work during the subsequent evolution of the QGP are investigated. Nuclear shadowing effects a...
