摘要:

本文首次用PHOBOS探测器测量了Cu+Cu碰撞中初级带电粒子的赝快度分布与碰撞中心度和能量的关系,\sqrtsnn = 22.4,62.4和200 GeV,赝快度范围很宽。通过对Cu+Cu和Au+Au结果的全局比较,我们发现产生的带电粒子总数和赝快度分布的大致形状(高度和宽度)是由核子参与者的数目决定的。更详细的研究表明,一个更精确的匹配的形状的Cu+Cu和Au+Au的赝快度分布在整个范围内的赝快度发生相同的Npart/2A值,而不是相同的Npart值。换句话说,是碰撞几何而不仅仅是核子参与者的数量驱动了RHIC能量下赝快度分布的详细形状及其中心依赖性。

英文摘要:

We present the first measurements of the pseudorapidity distribution of primary charged particles in Cu+Cu collisions as a function of collision centrality and energy, \sqrtsnn = 22.4, 62.4 and 200 GeV, over a wide range of pseudorapidity, using the PHOBOS detector. Making a global comparison of Cu+Cu and Au+Au results, we find that the total number of produced charged particles and the rough shape (height and width) of the pseudorapidity distributions are determined by the number of nucleon participants. More detailed studies reveal that a more precise matching of the shape of the Cu+Cu and Au+Au pseudorapidity distributions over the full range of pseudorapidity occurs for the same Npart/2A value rather than the same Npart value. In other words, it is the collision geometry rather than just the number of nucleon participants that drives the detailed shape of the pseudorapidity distribution and its centrality dependence at RHIC energies.
