LHC的ALICE实验研究超周边Pb-Pb碰撞中的光核矢量介子产生

Photonuclear vector meson production in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions studied by the ALICE experiment at the LHC

Joakim Nystrand

摘要:

在欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机(LHC)加速的铅离子周围的强电磁场允许在迄今为止未探索的运动学机制中研究双光子和光核相互作用。在超周边碰撞中,当碰撞参量大于核半径之和,强子相互作用被强烈抑制时,可以研究矢量介子的光生。在2010年和2011年LHC的重离子运行期间,ALICE合作使用特殊的触发器来选择超外围碰撞。这些触发器基于μ子光谱仪、飞行时间探测器、硅像素探测器和VZERO闪烁体阵列。来自其他探测器的信息也用于分析。给出了J/Psi介子在前向快度下相干光生的截面。结果将与模型计算进行比较,并讨论其对核胶子阴影的影响。

英文摘要:

The strong electromagnetic fields surrounding the Pb-ions accelerated at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) allow two-photon and photonuclear interactions to be studied in a so far unexplored kinematic regime. Exclusive photoproduction of vector mesons can be studied in ultra-peripheral collisions, where the impact parameters are larger than the sum of the nuclear radii and hadronic interactions are strongly suppressed. During the heavy-ion runs at the LHC in 2010 and 2011, the ALICE collaboration used special triggers to select ultra-peripheral collisions. These triggers were based on the Muon spectrometer, the Time-of-Flight detector, the Silicon Pixel detector, and the VZERO scintillator array. Information from other detectors was also used in the analysis. The cross section for coherent photoproduction of J/Psi mesons at forward rapidities will be presented. The result will be compared to model calculations and its implications for nuclear gluon shadowing will be discussed.
