用ATLAS探测器测量sqrt(s_NN)= 2.76 TeV的铅-铅碰撞中带电粒子赝快度分布的中心依赖性

Measurement of the centrality dependence of the charged particle pseudorapidity distribution in lead-lead collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

摘要:

大型强子对撞机的ATLAS实验测量了核子-核子质心能量为2.76TeV的铅-铅碰撞中,|eta| < 2的带电粒子赝快度分布的中心依赖性。为了包括具有低至30 MeV的横向动量的粒子,在中心螺线管磁体关闭的情况下记录数据。仅使用来自像素检测器的信息,用两种算法(2点“轨迹”和全轨迹)重建带电粒子。铅-铅碰撞中心性的特征在于前向量热计中的总横向能量在3.2 < |eta| < 4.9的范围内。本文给出了在几个碰撞中心度区间内,在赝快度区间|eta| <0.5范围内,每个事件的带电粒子密度分布dN_ch/deta和平均带电粒子多重数的测量结果。的结果进行了比较,在LHC和RHIC以前的中期快度测量。每个碰撞核子对的中快度带电粒子产额随参与者数目的变化与较低的sqrt(s_NN)结果一致。的dN_ch/deta分布的形状被发现是独立的测量系统的不确定性内的中心性。

英文摘要:

The ATLAS experiment at the LHC has measured the centrality dependence of charged particle pseudorapidity distributions over |eta| < 2 in lead-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV. In order to include particles with transverse momentum as low as 30 MeV, the data were recorded with the central solenoid magnet off. Charged particles were reconstructed with two algorithms (2-point "tracklets" and full tracks) using information from the pixel detector only. The lead-lead collision centrality was characterized by the total transverse energy in the forward calorimeter in the range 3.2 < |eta| < 4.9. Measurements are presented of the per-event charged particle density distribution, dN_ch/deta, and the average charged particle multiplicity in the pseudorapidity interval |eta|<0.5 in several intervals of collision centrality. The results are compared to previous mid-rapidity measurements at the LHC and RHIC. The variation of the mid-rapidity charged particle yield per colliding nucleon pair with the number of participants is consistent with the lower sqrt(s_NN) results. The shape of the dN_ch/deta distribution is found to be independent of centrality within the systematic uncertainties of the measurement.
