RHIC上Au+Au碰撞电荷平衡函数与束流能量的关系

Beam-Energy Dependence of Charge Balance Functions from Au+Au Collisions at RHIC

STAR Collaboration

摘要:

在相对论重离子对撞机(RHIC)上用STAR探测器测量了在$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 7.7 GeV ~ 200 GeV的Au+Au碰撞中带电粒子对的相对赝快度($Δη$)平衡函数。这些结果进行了比较,在大型强子对撞机(LHC)从铅+铅碰撞在$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV的ALICE合作测量的平衡函数。平衡函数的宽度随着碰撞变得更中心以及随着束能量的增加而减小。与此相反,使用洗牌事件计算的平衡功能的宽度表现出很小的依赖于中心性或光束能量,并大于所观察到的宽度。使用UrQMD产生的事件计算的平衡函数宽度比中心碰撞中的测量宽度更宽,并且几乎没有中心依赖性。中心碰撞平衡函数的测量宽度与退禁闭夸克-胶子等离子体(QGP)的延迟强子化一致。在$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 7.7 GeV的中心碰撞中,平衡函数的变窄意味着QGP仍然在这个相对较低的能量下产生。

英文摘要:

Balance functions have been measured in terms of relative pseudorapidity ($Δη$) for charged particle pairs at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) from Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 7.7 GeV to 200 GeV using the STAR detector. These results are compared with balance functions measured at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) from Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV by the ALICE Collaboration. The width of the balance function decreases as the collisions become more central and as the beam energy is increased. In contrast, the widths of the balance functions calculated using shuffled events show little dependence on centrality or beam energy and are larger than the observed widths. Balance function widths calculated using events generated by UrQMD are wider than the measured widths in central collisions and show little centrality dependence. The measured widths of the balance functions in central collisions are consistent with the delayed hadronization of a deconfined quark gluon plasma (QGP). The narrowing of the balance function in central collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 7.7 GeV implies that a QGP is still being created at this relatively low energy.
