摘要:

我们研究了能量为1-2 AGeV的重离子碰撞以及能量为1 - 3.5 GeV的质子诱发pp、pn、pd和p+A反应中的双轻子产生。对于分析,我们采用三种不同的输运模型-微观离壳强子弦动力学(HSD)输运方法,同位旋量子分子动力学(IQMD)方法以及超相对论量子分子动力学(UrQMD)方法。我们证实了实验观察到的双轻子产率(归一化为中性π介子$N_{π^0}$的多重性)在重离子碰撞中的增强相对于在$NN = (pp+pn)/2$碰撞中测量。我们确定了两个贡献,这种增强:a)$pN$韧致辐射的规模与碰撞的数量,而不是与参与者的数量,即π介子; b)从中间$Δ$的双轻子发射的反应周期的一部分,$Δ\to πN ; πN \to Δ$和$NN\to NΔ; NΔ\to NN$。随着系统规模的增加,产生了更多代的中间$Δ$。如果这样的$Δ$衰变为π介子,π介子可以被重吸收,然而,如果它衰变为双轻子,双轻子会从系统中逃逸。因此,在实验中,人们只能观察到一个π介子(来自最后产生的$Δ$),而双轻子产额则累积了循环中所有$Δ$的贡献。我们还表明,费米运动以同样的方式增强了π介子和双轻子的产生。此外,采用离壳HSD方法,我们探讨了介质效应的影响,如修改的自能和矢量介子的谱函数,由于它们与强子环境的相互作用。

英文摘要:

We study the dilepton production in heavy-ion collisions at energies of 1-2 AGeV as well as in proton induced pp, pn, pd and p+A reactions from 1 GeV up to 3.5 GeV. For the analysis we employ three different transport models - the microscopic off-shell Hadron-String-Dynamics (HSD) transport approach, the Isospin Quantum Molecular Dynamics (IQMD) approach as well as the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) approach. We confirm the experimentally observed enhancement of the dilepton yield (normalized to the multiplicity of neutral pions $N_{π^0}$) in heavy-ion collisions with respect to that measured in $NN = (pp+pn)/2$ collisions. We identify two contributions to this enhancement: a) the $pN$ bremsstrahlung which scales with the number of collisions and not with the number of participants, i.e. pions; b) the dilepton emission from intermediate $Δ$'s which are part of the reaction cycles $Δ\to πN ; πN \to Δ$ and $NN\to NΔ; NΔ\to NN$. With increasing system size more generations of intermediate $Δ$'s are created. If such $Δ$ decays into a pion, the pion can be reabsorbed, however, if it decays into a dilepton, the dilepton escapes from the system. Thus, experimentally one observes only one pion (from the last produced $Δ$) whereas the dilepton yield accumulates the contributions from all $Δ$'s of the cycle. We show as well that the Fermi motion enhances the production of pions and dileptons in the same way. Furthermore, employing the off-shell HSD approach, we explore the influence of in-medium effects like the modification of self-energies and spectral functions of the vector mesons due to their interactions with the hadronic environment.
