中间体$p_{T}$上$ϕ$介子的椭圆流:质量对夸克数的影响

Elliptic flow of $ϕ$-meson at intermediate $p_{T}$: Influence of mass versus quark number

Subikash Choudhury, Debojit Sarkar, Subhasis Chattopadhyay

摘要:

在LHC能区多相输运模型的框架下研究了$ϕ$ -介子的椭圆流($v_{2}$).在AMPT模型中,我们观察到中等横动量的$ϕ$ -介子($p_{T}$)偏离了先前在RHIC上观察到的根据夸克含量(重子和介子)的数量分组的$v_{2}$粒子类型。ALICE合作组的最新结果表明,$ϕ$ -介子和质子$v_{2}$具有类似的趋势,可能表明粒子类型分组可能是由于粒子的质量而不是夸克含量。与RHIC相比,LHC更强的径向助推似乎为这种观察提供了一致的解释。然而,回顾$ϕ$ -介子在强子相中建立额外的径向流之前与强子介质解耦,$ϕ$ -介子和质子$v_{2}$中的类似模式可能不仅仅是由于径向流。我们的研究表明,在强子再散射阶段,由$K\bar{K}$融合产生的$ϕ$ -介子模型也预言了相当数量的$ϕ$ -介子和质子$v_{2}$,特别是在$p_{T}$的中间区域.而部分子相产生的$ϕ$ -介子的$v_{2}$与强子$v_{2}$的夸克聚并驱动的重子-介子分组是一致的。这一观察似乎为$ϕ$ -介子$v_{2}$的明显的类质量行为提供了一个合理的替代解释。我们还观察到质子和$ϕ$ -介子$v_{2}$之间流体力学质量序的破坏,进一步支持了由于介质中强子相互作用截面小,所以$ϕ$ -介子在强子相中受集体径向流的影响可以忽略。

英文摘要:

We have studied elliptic flow ($v_{2}$) of $ϕ$-mesons in the framework of a multi phase transport (AMPT) model at LHC energy. In the realms of AMPT model we observe $ϕ$-mesons at intermediate transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) deviate from the previously observed (at RHIC) particle type grouping of $v_{2}$ according to the number of quark content i.e, baryons and mesons. Recent results from the ALICE Collaboration have shown that $ϕ$-meson and proton $v_{2}$ has a similar trend, possibly indicating that particle type grouping might be due to the mass of the particles and not the quark content. A stronger radial boost at LHC compared to RHIC seems to offer a consistent explanation to such observation. However, recalling that $ϕ$-mesons decouple from the hadronic medium before additional radial flow is build-up in the hadronic phase, similar pattern in $ϕ$-meson and proton $v_{2}$ may not be due to radial flow alone. Our study reveals that models incorporating $ϕ$-meson production from $K\bar{K}$ fusion in the hadronic rescattering phase also predict a comparable magnitude of $ϕ$-meson and proton $v_{2}$ particularly in the intermediate region of $p_{T}$. Whereas, $v_{2}$ of $ϕ$-mesons created in the partonic phase is in agreement with quark-coalescence motivated baryon-meson grouping of hadron $v_{2}$. This observation seems to provide a plausible alternative interpretation for the apparent mass-like behaviour of $ϕ$-meson $v_{2}$. We have also observed a violation of hydrodynamical mass ordering between proton and $ϕ$-meson $v_{2}$ further supporting that $ϕ$-mesons are negligibly affected by the collective radial flow in the hadronic phase due to the small in-medium hadronic interaction cross sections.
