用重离子碰撞中的流体力学流确定标量介子的夸克含量

Determination of the Quark Content of Scalar Mesons Using Hydrodynamical Flow in Heavy Ion Collisions

M. Wussow, N. Grau

摘要:

本文研究了在相对论重离子碰撞中,通过标量介子a_0(980)和f_0(980)的流体动力学流特征来确定它们的夸克含量的可能性。利用流体动力学流的组分夸克标度,我们发现在sqrt(sNN)= 200 GeV的20-60%中心Au+Au碰撞中,四夸克态a0(980)或f0(980)介子在横动量为6 GeV/c时的v2为0.38。讨论了在相对论重离子对撞机PHENIX和STAR探测器上测量a0(980)-> pi 0 + eta和f0(980)->pi+ + pi-的可行性。尽管这些介子在高pT下的中快度截面是不可忽略的,但它们的宽质量范围将使它们在p+p和Au+Au碰撞中难以检测。

英文摘要:

We study the possibility of determining the quark content of the scalar mesons a0(980) and f0(980) through their hydrodynamical flow signature in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Utilizing the constituent quark scaling of hydrodynamic flow, we find that the tetraquark a0(980) or f0(980) mesons will have a v_2 of 0.38 at transverse momentum of 6 GeV/c in 20-60% central Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. The feasibility of measuring a0(980)-->pi0 + eta and f0(980)-->pi+ + pi- into the PHENIX and STAR detectors at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is also discussed. Even though the mid-rapidity cross sections for these mesons at high-pT are non-negligible, their broad mass range will make them difficult to detect in both p+p and Au+Au collisions.
