从STAR实验看重离子碰撞中夸克-胶子相变的关联和涨落

Probing the Quark-Gluon Phase Transition with Correlations and Fluctuations in Heavy Ion Collisions from the STAR Experiment

Terence J. Tarnowsky

摘要:

在相对论性重离子碰撞中,粒子关联和涨落的测量被认为是寻找相变存在的一种方法。如果夸克-胶子物质是在相对论重离子碰撞中形成的,测量这些相关性可能导致确定碰撞中部分子自由度的存在。此外,在量子色动力学临界点附近可以观察到全局量的非统计涨落,如重子数、奇异性或电荷。短距离和长距离的多重性相关(向前向后)的结果,提出了几个系统(金+金和铜+铜)和能量(例如$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200,62.4,和22.4 GeV)。对于最高能量的中心A+A碰撞,相关强度在整个测量区域内保持恒定值。在外围碰撞中,在较低的能量,并在pp数据,最大值出现在中速。与短程(HIJING)和短程和长程相互作用(Parton弦模型)的模型相比,不能完全再现中心Au+Au数据。K/ $π$波动的初步结果也显示为在$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 22.4 GeV的Cu+Cu碰撞中心的函数。

英文摘要:

The measurement of particle correlations and fluctuations has been suggested as a method to search for the existence of a phase transition in relativistic heavy ion collisions. If quark-gluon matter is formed in the collision of relativistic heavy ions, measuring these correlations could lead to a determination of the presence of partonic degrees of freedom within the collision. Additionally, non-statistical fluctuations in global quantities such as baryon number, strangeness, or charge may be observed near a QCD critical point. Results for short and long-range multiplicity correlations (forward-backward) are presented for several systems (Au+Au and Cu+Cu) and energies (e.g. $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200, 62.4, and 22.4 GeV). For the highest energy central A+A collisions, the correlation strength maintains a constant value across the measurement region. In peripheral collisions, at lower energies, and in pp data, the maximum appears at midrapidity. Comparison to models with short-range (HIJING) and both short and long-range interactions (Parton String Model) do not fully reproduce central Au+Au data. Preliminary results for K/$π$ fluctuations are also shown as a function of centrality in Cu+Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 22.4 GeV.
