sqrt(s)= 200 GeV时p+p碰撞的双轻子质谱及开粲的贡献

Dilepton mass spectra in p+p collisions at sqrt(s)= 200 GeV and the contribution from open charm

PHENIX Collaboration, A. Adare

摘要:

PHENIX实验测量了sqrt(s)=200 GeV的p+p碰撞中0 ~ 8 GeV/c^2的电子-正电子对质谱。根据PHENIX强子产生截面的测量结果,确定了轻介子衰变对e^+e^-对的贡献。它们几乎可以解释质量低于1 GeV/c^2的所有e^+e^-对。减去这些贡献后剩下的e^+e^-对产额主要是通过味守恒关联的粲强子的半轻子衰变。利用PYTHIA预测的谱形,我们估计粲产生截面为544 +/- 39(stat)+/- 142(syst)+/- 200(model)μb,这与QCD计算和PHENIX对单轻子的测量结果一致.

英文摘要:

The PHENIX experiement has measured the electron-positron pair mass spectrum from 0 to 8 GeV/c^2 in p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV. The contributions from light meson decays to e^+e^- pairs have been determined based on measurements of hadron production cross sections by PHENIX. They account for nearly all e^+e^- pairs in the mass region below 1 GeV/c^2. The e^+e^- pair yield remaining after subtracting these contributions is dominated by semileptonic decays of charmed hadrons correlated through flavor conservation. Using the spectral shape predicted by PYTHIA, we estimate the charm production cross section to be 544 +/- 39(stat) +/- 142(syst) +/- 200(model) μb, which is consistent with QCD calculations and measurements of single leptons by PHENIX.
