摘要:

详细研究了超周边重离子碰撞中矢量介子的光生。利用偶极子模型,我们开发了一个框架的联合碰撞参量和横向动量相关的截面。计算了$ρ^0$光生的非极化截面和$\cos 2ϕ$方位角关联,其中$\cos 2ϕ$定义为$ρ^0$的横动量与其衰变产物π介子横动量之间的夹角.我们的非偏振相干微分截面结果对STAR实验数据给出了很好的描述。首次比较了由线偏振光引起的$\cos 2ϕ$方位不对称性的理论计算和实验测量结果,并取得了较好的一致性。我们发现在RHIC和LHC能量的特征衍射图案和预测的碰撞参量依赖的$\cos 2ϕ$方位角不对称性的$ρ^0$光生考虑UPC和周边碰撞。与我们的计算相关的RHIC和LHC实验测量将为严格研究UPC中矢量介子的相干和非相干产生以及探测重离子碰撞中的原子核结构提供一个工具。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed study of vector meson photoproduction in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions (UPCs). Using the dipole model, we develop a framework for the joint impact parameter and transverse momentum dependent cross sections. We compute the unpolarized cross section and $\cos 2ϕ$ azimuthal angular correlation for $ρ^0$ photoproduction with $ϕ$ defined as the angle between the $ρ^0$'s transverse momentum and its decay product pion meson's transverse momentum. Our result on unpolarized coherent differential cross section gives excellent description to the STAR experimental data. A first comparison between theoretical calculation and experimental measurement on the $\cos 2ϕ$ azimuthal asymmetry, which results from the linearly polarized photons, is performed and reasonable agreement is reached. We find out the characteristic diffractive patterns at both RHIC and LHC energies and predict the impact parameter dependent $\cos 2ϕ$ azimuthal asymmetries for $ρ^0$ photoproduction by considering UPCs and peripheral collisions. The future experimental measurements at RHIC and LHC relevant to our calculations will provide a tool to rigorously investigate the coherent and incoherent production of vector meson in UPCs, as well as to probe the nuclear structure in heavy ion collisions.
