核碰撞中最小偏置部分子碎裂的演化

Evolution of minimum-bias parton fragmentation in nuclear collisions

Thomas A. Trainor

摘要:

利用由$e^+$ - $e^-$和p-p碰撞导出的参数化碎裂函数(FF)折叠幂律部分子能谱,计算了最小偏置碎片分布(FD).由于部分子的“能量损失”或“介质修改”的FF的变化是通过改变FF参数化与重新标度QCD分裂功能一致。通过与p-p $p_t$谱硬分量的比较,共同部分子谱受到约束。在真空中和介质中的FD进行了比较,从200 GeV的金-金碰撞的几个中心的光谱硬组件。所有核碰撞的参考是从真空中$e^+$ - $e^-$ FF导出的FD。p-p碰撞和外围Au-Au碰撞的硬分量被发现是{ \em强烈抑制}为较小的碎片动量,一致的FD来自真空中的p-p FF。在一个特定的中心的Au-Au硬组分过渡到增强在较小的动量和抑制在较大的动量,符合FD来自介质中$e^+$ - $e^-$ FF。碎裂系统学表明,QCD颜色连接在更中心的A-A碰撞中发生了显著的变化。光谱系统学与饱和标度和部分子热化不一致。

英文摘要:

Minimum-bias fragment distributions (FDs) are calculated by folding a power-law parton energy spectrum with parametrized fragmentation functions (FFs) derived from $e^+$-$e^-$ and p-p collisions. Changes in FFs due to parton "energy loss" or "medium modification" are modeled by altering FF parametrizations consistent with rescaling QCD splitting functions. The common parton spectrum is constrained by comparison with a p-p $p_t$ spectrum hard component. In-vacuum and in-medium FDs are compared with spectrum hard components from 200 GeV Au-Au collisions for several centralities. The reference for all nuclear collisions is the FD derived from in-vacuum $e^+$-$e^-$ FFs. The hard component for p-p and peripheral Au-Au collisions is found to be {\em strongly suppressed} for smaller fragment momenta, consistent with the FD derived from in-vacuum p-p FFs. At a particular centrality the Au-Au hard component transitions to enhancement at smaller momenta and suppression at larger momenta, consistent with FDs derived from in-medium $e^+$-$e^-$ FFs. Fragmentation systematics suggest that QCD color connections change dramatically in more-central A-A collisions. Spectrum systematics are inconsistent with saturation-scale arguments and parton thermalization.
