作为热化敏感探测器的$D\overline{D}$动量关联与相对方位角

$D\overline{D}$ momentum correlations versus relative azimuth as a sensitive probe for thermalization

G. Tsiledakis, K. Schweda

摘要:

在LHC的高能核碰撞中,QGP可能会被创造出来,部分子水平的热化程度是一个关键问题。由于它们的大质量,重夸克是探测热化的有力工具。我们建议测量重夸克强子及其衰变产物的方位角关联。在$Pb-Pb$碰撞中,这些最初存在的方位角相关性的变化甚至完全消失,可能表明在部分子水平上的热化。我们目前的研究与PYTHIA的$p-p$碰撞在14 TeV使用两粒子横向动量相关${<\overlineΔp_{t,1}\overlineΔp_{t,2}>}$作为一个敏感的措施,这些方位角的相关性的潜在变化。横向径向流的贡献估计。

英文摘要:

In high-energy nuclear collisions at LHC, where a QGP might be created, the degree of thermalization at the partonic level is a key issue. Due to their large mass, heavy quarks are a powerful tool to probe thermalization. We propose to measure azimuthal correlations of heavy-quark hadrons and their decay products. Changes or even the complete absence of these initially existing azimuthal correlations in $Pb-Pb$ collisions might indicate thermalization at the partonic level. We present studies with PYTHIA for $p-p$ collisions at 14 TeV using the two-particle transverse momentum correlator ${<\overlineΔp_{t,1}\overlineΔp_{t,2}>}$ as a sensitive measure of potential changes in these azimuthal correlations. Contributions from transverse radial flow are estimated.
