摘要:

本文系统地研究了p+p、Cu+Cu和Au+Au碰撞中两粒子角关联的赝快度和方位角变化范围。PHOBOS探测器对包容性带电粒子具有独特的大角度覆盖范围,这使得可以研究长距离和短距离尺度上的相关性。一个复杂的二维相关结构出现的集群模型的上下文中解释。从两粒子赝快度关联函数中提取了团簇大小及其衰变宽度。在半中心Cu+Cu和Au+Au碰撞中发现的团簇大小与p+p中发现的团簇大小相当,但观察到团簇大小随着中心度的降低而增加。此外,Cu+Cu和Au+Au系统之间的比较显示了一个有趣的规模与测量的总截面的分数(这是相关的$b/2R$),表明几何起源的集群大小。这些结果将为研究重离子碰撞中产生的热稠密介质的强子化阶段提供参考。

英文摘要:

We present a systematic study of two-particle angular correlations in p+p, Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions over a broad range of pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle. The PHOBOS detector has a uniquely large angular coverage for inclusive charged particles, which allows for the study of correlations on both long- and short-range scales. A complex two-dimensional correlation structure emerges which is interpreted in the context of a cluster model. The cluster size and its decay width are extracted from the two-particle pseudorapidity correlation function. The cluster size found in semi-central Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions is comparable to that found in p+p but a non-trivial increase of cluster size with decreasing centrality is observed. Moreover, the comparison between Cu+Cu and Au+Au systems shows an interesting scaling of the cluster size with the measured fraction of total cross section (which is related to $b/2R$), suggesting a geometric origin. These results should provide insight into the hadronization stage of the hot and dense medium created in heavy ion collisions.
