在$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV上测量Pb-Pb碰撞中的带电喷流抑制

Measurement of charged jet suppression in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV

ALICE Collaboration

摘要:

本文报道了在$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV的Pb-Pb碰撞中喷注横向动量谱的测量结果。利用反$k_{\rm T}$喷流算法,利用伪快度$|η|<0.5$中$0.2$和$0.3$的喷流分辨参数$R$,从带电粒子重构喷流。带电粒子的横向动量$p_{\rm T}$被测量到$0.15$ GeV/ $c$,这使得可以获得射流的低$p_{\rm T}$碎片。在重离子碰撞中发现的喷流被校正的平均背景密度的事件,并在一个包容性的基础上(通过展开)剩余的背景波动和检测器的影响。一个强大的抑制射流生产中心事件相对于外围事件进行观察。抑制被发现是类似的抑制带电强子,这表明,大量的能量辐射的角度大于在分析中考虑的喷流分辨率参数$R=0.3$。通过选择具有高$p_{\rm T}$领先粒子的射流引入的碎裂偏差,其拒绝具有软碎裂图案的射流,对中心和外围事件的射流产率具有类似的影响。在Pb-Pb事件和模拟PYTHIA pp事件中,发现具有$R=0.2$和$R=0.3$的喷流谱的比率是相似的,表明在具有$R<0.3$的重建喷流中径向喷流结构没有强烈的加宽。

英文摘要:

A measurement of the transverse momentum spectra of jets in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV is reported. Jets are reconstructed from charged particles using the anti-$k_{\rm T}$ jet algorithm with jet resolution parameters $R$ of $0.2$ and $0.3$ in pseudo-rapidity $|η|<0.5$. The transverse momentum $p_{\rm T}$ of charged particles is measured down to $0.15$ GeV/$c$ which gives access to the low $p_{\rm T}$ fragments of the jet. Jets found in heavy-ion collisions are corrected event-by-event for average background density and on an inclusive basis (via unfolding) for residual background fluctuations and detector effects. A strong suppression of jet production in central events with respect to peripheral events is observed. The suppression is found to be similar to the suppression of charged hadrons, which suggests that substantial energy is radiated at angles larger than the jet resolution parameter $R=0.3$ considered in the analysis. The fragmentation bias introduced by selecting jets with a high $p_{\rm T}$ leading particle, which rejects jets with a soft fragmentation pattern, has a similar effect on the jet yield for central and peripheral events. The ratio of jet spectra with $R=0.2$ and $R=0.3$ is found to be similar in Pb-Pb and simulated PYTHIA pp events, indicating no strong broadening of the radial jet structure in the reconstructed jets with $R<0.3$.
