Q-PYTHIA:一个中等修改的末态辐射实现

Q-PYTHIA: a medium-modified implementation of final state radiation

摘要:

我们提出了一个Monte Carlo实现,在PYTHIA中,介质诱导胶子辐射的最终状态分支过程。介质效应是通过在多重软散射近似中计算的分裂函数中加入一个附加项引入的。这种修改的可观察到的效果进行了研究,为不同的数量作为碎裂功能和驼背高原,横向动量和角分布。喷流内多重性的预期增加,能量损失的领先粒子和喷流加宽的观察,以及单纯基于分析计算的天真的期望的修改。这表明了蒙特卡罗模拟器用于射流分析的充分性。强子化的影响被发现在软区中冲洗介质效应,而主要特征仍然存在。为了显示在现实的实验情况下,我们的方法的实施和可行性的性能,我们提供了一些例子:碎裂功能,核抑制因子,射流形状和射流多重性。包含修改后例程的软件包可供公众使用。这个代码不是官方的PYTHIA版本,被称为Q-PYTHIA。我们还包括一个简短的手册来执行射流淬火的模拟。

英文摘要:

We present a Monte Carlo implementation, within PYTHIA, of medium-induced gluon radiation in the final state branching process. Medium effects are introduced through an additive term in the splitting functions computed in the multiple-soft scattering approximation. The observable effects of this modification are studied for different quantities as fragmentation functions and the hump-backed plateau, and transverse momentum and angular distributions. The anticipated increase of intra-jet multiplicities, energy loss of the leading particle and jet broadening are observed as well as modifications of naive expectations based solely on analytical calculations. This shows the adequacy of a Monte Carlo simulator for jet analyses. Effects of hadronization are found to wash out medium effects in the soft region, while the main features remain. To show the performance of the implementation and the feasibility of our approach in realistic experimental situations we provide some examples: fragmentation functions, nuclear suppression factors, jet shapes and jet multiplicities. The package containing the modified routines is available for public use. This code, which is not an official PYTHIA release, is called Q-PYTHIA. We also include a short manual to perform the simulations of jet quenching.
