LHC的Psi(2S)生产

Psi(2S) Production at the LHC

Xiaojian Du, Ralf Rapp

摘要:

我们计算了在LHC上Pb-Pb碰撞中$ψ(2S)$的产生及其核修饰因子($R_{\rm AA}$)与$J/ψ$的相应比值。基于温度依赖的反应速率的传输模型,一个连续的再生模式出现:较大的$ψ(2S)$宽度,相对于$J/ψ$,周围和低于临界温度,意味着大多数的$ψ(2S)$状态再生后的火球的演变。这对于再生的charmonia的横向动量($p_T$)光谱具有明显的后果。虽然$ψ(2S)$介子的总产额仍然小于$J/ψ$的总产额,但它们更硬的$p_T$光谱可以产生高于1的双倍比,用于$p_T>3$ GeV切割,正如CMS合作所应用的那样。在我们的计算中的一个显着的不确定性是与温度的值,其中大部分的$ψ(2S)$再生发生,其非弹性宽度的定量温度依赖性。

英文摘要:

We calculate the production of $ψ(2S)$ and the pertinent double ratio of its nuclear modification factor ($R_{\rm AA}$) over that of the $J/ψ$ in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. Based on a transport model with temperature dependent reaction rates, a sequential regeneration pattern emerges: the larger $ψ(2S)$ width, relative to the $J/ψ$, around and below the critical temperature, implies that most of the $ψ(2S)$ states are regenerated later in the evolution of the fireball. This has noticeable consequences for the transverse-momentum ($p_T$) spectra of the regenerated charmonia. While the total yield of $ψ(2S)$ meson remains smaller than those of $J/ψ$'s, their harder $p_T$ spectra can produce a double ratio above unity for a $p_T>3$GeV cut, as applied by the CMS collaboration. A significant uncertainty in our calculations is associated with the values of the temperature where most of the $ψ(2S)$ regeneration occurs, the quantitative temperature dependence of its inelastic width.
