PbPb碰撞中横向动量高达100 GeV的带电粒子在sqrt(s[ NN ])= 5.02 TeV时的方位各向异性

Azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles with transverse momentum up to 100 GeV in PbPb collisions at sqrt(s[NN]) = 5.02 TeV

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

利用CMS实验数据测量了表征sqrt(s[NN])= 5.02TeV的PbPb碰撞中产生的带电粒子方位角分布各向异性的傅里叶系数v[2]和v[3]。测量覆盖了宽的横向动量范围,1 &lt; pT < 100 GeV. The analysis focuses on pT >10 GeV范围,其中各向异性方位角分布应该反映所产生介质中部分子能量损失的路径长度依赖性。结果呈现在几个箱子的PbPb碰撞中心,跨越60%的最中心的事件。用标积和多粒子累积量方法测量了v[2]系数,这两种方法对初始态涨落的灵敏度不同。这两种方法的值仍然是积极的约60-80 GeV的pT,在所有检查中心类。仅用标量积方法测量的v[3]系数在pT大于或等于20 GeV时趋于零。理论计算和数据之间的比较提供了新的约束路径长度依赖的部分子能量损失的重离子碰撞,并强调了初始状态的起伏的重要性。

英文摘要:

The Fourier coefficients v[2] and v[3] characterizing the anisotropy of the azimuthal distribution of charged particles produced in PbPb collisions at sqrt(s[NN]) = 5.02 TeV are measured with data collected by the CMS experiment. The measurements cover a broad transverse momentum range, 1 < pT < 100 GeV. The analysis focuses on pT > 10 GeV range, where anisotropic azimuthal distributions should reflect the path-length dependence of parton energy loss in the created medium. Results are presented in several bins of PbPb collision centrality, spanning the 60% most central events. The v[2] coefficient is measured with the scalar product and the multiparticle cumulant methods, which have different sensitivities to the initial-state fluctuations. The values of both methods remain positive up to pT of about 60-80 GeV, in all examined centrality classes. The v[3] coefficient, only measured with the scalar product method, tends to zero for pT greater than or equal to 20 GeV. Comparisons between theoretical calculations and data provide new constraints on the path-length dependence of parton energy loss in heavy ion collisions and highlight the importance of the initial-state fluctuations.
