p+p(\bar(p))碰撞多重数分布外推到LHC能量

Extrapolation of Multiplicity distribution in p+p(\bar(p)) collisions to LHC energies

Ajay Kumar Dash, Bedangadas Mohanty

摘要:

通过外推现有的低\sqrt(s)测量数据,获得了大型强子对撞机(LHC)能量为\sqrt = 10和14 TeV的p+p碰撞中初级带电粒子的多重数(N_ch)和赝快度分布(dN_ch/dη).然后将这些分布与PYTHIA和PHOJET模型的计算结果进行比较。现有的\sqrt(s)测量无法区分平均带电粒子多重性()对\sqrt(s)的对数和幂律依赖性<N_ch>,并且它们外推到LHC可获得的能量给出了非常不同的值。假设在较低的\sqrt(s)下,负二项分布(NBD)对带电粒子多重数分布有相当好的描述,我们观察到,对数\sqrt(s)依赖性<N_ch>在中快度下更受模型的青睐。用一个包含三个参数的函数来描述dN_ch/dη与η的关系,该函数能较好地描述分布的基本特征,即中快度高度、中心快度平台和较高快度衰减。外推这些参数作为\sqrt(s)的函数,用于预测在LHC能量的带电粒子的赝快度分布。PYTHIA和PHOJET模式的dN_ch/dη计算值比外推的dN_ch/dη-η分布的计算值低。

英文摘要:

The multiplicity (N_ch) and pseudorapidity distribution (dN_ch/dη) of primary charged particles in p+p collisions at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies of \sqrt(s) = 10 and 14 TeV are obtained from extrapolation of existing measurements at lower \sqrt(s). These distributions are then compared to calculations from PYTHIA and PHOJET models. The existing \sqrt(s) measurements are unable to distinguish between a logarithmic and power law dependence of the average charged particle multiplicity (<N_ch>) on \sqrt(s), and their extrapolation to energies accessible at LHC give very different values. Assuming a reasonably good description of inclusive charged particle multiplicity distributions by Negative Binomial Distributions (NBD) at lower \sqrt(s) to hold for LHC energies, we observe that the logarithmic \sqrt(s) dependence of <N_ch> are favored by the models at midrapidity. The dN_ch/dηversus ηfor the existing measurements are found to be reasonably well described by a function with three parameters which accounts for the basic features of the distribution, height at midrapidity, central rapidity plateau and the higher rapidity fall-off. Extrapolation of these parameters as a function of \sqrt(s) is used to predict the pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles at LHC energies. dN_ch/dηcalculations from PYTHIA and PHOJET models are found to be lower compared to those obtained from the extrapolated dN_ch/dηversus ηdistributions for a broad ηrange.
