当sqrt{s_NN} = 200 GeV时,Au + Au中v2的中心依赖性

Centrality dependence of v2 in Au + Au at sqrt{s_NN} = 200 GeV

摘要:

最引人注目的结果之一是RHIC上的大椭圆流($v_2$)。通过对$p_{\mathrm{T}} < $ 1 GeV/c的理想流体动力学计算和对$p_{\mathrm{T}} = 2 - 6$ GeV/c的部分子合并/复合图象,详细描述了椭圆流的质量和横向动量依赖关系. $v_2$的系统误差主要是由所谓的“非流动效应”所决定的,这是一种非源于反应面的关联。为了了解潜在的碰撞动力学,了解和减少非流动效应引起的系统误差至关重要。本文研究了在$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV的Au + Au碰撞中$v_2$相对于ZDC-SMD的第一谐波事件平面的中心依赖性($v_2$ \{ZDC-SMD\}).中快度和ZDC之间的大快度间隙($|Δη| > 6$)可以使我们最大限度地减少可能的非流动贡献。我们比较了$v_2$ \{ZDC-SMD\}和由$|η| = 3.1 - 3.9$确定的事件平面测量的$v_2$ \{BBC\}的结果。将讨论这些结果中可能的非流动贡献。

英文摘要:

One of the most striking results is the large elliptic flow ($v_2$) at RHIC. Detailed mass and transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow are well described by ideal hydrodynamic calculations for $p_{\mathrm{T}} < $ 1 GeV/c, and by parton coalescence/recombination picture for $p_{\mathrm{T}} = 2 - 6$ GeV/c. The systematic error on $v_2$ is dominated by so-called "non-flow effects", which is the correlation not originated from reaction plane. It is crucial to understand and reduce the systematic error from non-flow effects in order to understand the underlying collision dynamics. In this paper, we present the centrality dependence of $v_2$ with respect to the first harmonic event plane at ZDC-SMD ($v_2$\{ZDC-SMD\}) in Au + Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. Large rapidity gap ($|Δη| > 6$) between midrapidity and the ZDC could enable us to minimize possible non-flow contributions. We compare the results of $v_2$\{ZDC-SMD\} with $v_2$\{BBC\}, which is measured by event plane determined at $|η| = 3.1 - 3.9$. Possible non-flow contributions in those results will be discussed.
