sqrt(s_NN)= 200 GeV Au+Au碰撞中半包容单个高横动量π介子抑制对热部分子物质输运性质的定量约束

Quantitative Constraints on the Transport Properties of Hot Partonic Matter from Semi-Inclusive Single High Transverse Momentum Pion Suppression in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV

PHENIX Collaboration, A. Adare

摘要:

PHENIX实验测量了在sqrt(s_NN)= 200 GeV的Au+Au碰撞中半包容的单个高横动量π ^0的抑制。目前对这种抑制的理解是在致密的色荷介质中母(碎裂)部分子的能量损失方面。我们对各种部分子能量损失模型和实验数据进行了定量比较。在比较中考虑了统计的点对点不相关以及相关的系统不确定性。我们详细介绍了这种方法和由此产生的约束模型参数,如初始色电荷密度dN^g/dy,介质输运系数<q^hat>,或初始能量损失参数ε_0。我们发现,在Au+Au碰撞中,高横动量π ^0的抑制具有足够的精度,可以将这些依赖于模型的参数限制在+/120%-25%(一个标准差)的水平。这些约束条件只包括实验不确定度,而相应的理论不确定度的计算还需要进一步的研究。

英文摘要:

The PHENIX experiment has measured the suppression of semi-inclusive single high transverse momentum pi^0's in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. The present understanding of this suppression is in terms of energy-loss of the parent (fragmenting) parton in a dense color-charge medium. We have performed a quantitative comparison between various parton energy-loss models and our experimental data. The statistical point-to-point uncorrelated as well as correlated systematic uncertainties are taken into account in the comparison. We detail this methodology and the resulting constraint on the model parameters, such as the initial color-charge density dN^g/dy, the medium transport coefficient <q^hat>, or the initial energy-loss parameter epsilon_0. We find that high transverse momentum pi^0 suppression in Au+Au collisions has sufficient precision to constrain these model dependent parameters at the +/1 20%-25% (one standard deviation) level. These constraints include only the experimental uncertainties, and further studies are needed to compute the corresponding theoretical uncertainties.
