重离子碰撞中电磁场诱导的定向流

Directed flow induced by electromagnetic fields in heavy ion collisions

Yifeng Sun, Salvatore Plumari, Vincenzo Greco

摘要:

在偏离中心的相对论性重离子碰撞中,预期会产生强电磁场,这可以引起带电粒子和反粒子的定向流($Δv_1$)的分裂。这种分裂甚至在中性粲介子对($D^0,\bar{D}^0$)中也表现出来,因此它是以粲夸克为自由度的退禁闭相形成的一个直接探索。在大$p_T$和与QGP弱相互作用的极限下,得到了带电粒子和反粒子的$Δv_1(p_T,y_z)$作为$p_T$和快度$y_z$的函数的公式,发现它与带电粒子的谱和洛伦兹力的积分效应有关.该公式适用于高$p_T$的重夸克和轻子,它们的运动方程由于与QGP和电磁场的相互作用而受到的修正很小,具有普遍的应用价值。我们还提出了一种测量$Z^0$衰变中轻子的$Δv_1(p_T,y_z)$的方法及其与$D$介子的关联,这将是一个强有力的探针,可以用来确定实验中测量到的大分裂是否是电磁起源。

英文摘要:

Strong electromagnetic fields are expected to be generated in off-central relativistic heavy ion collisions, which can induce a splitting of the directed flow of charged particles and anti-particles ($Δv_1$). Such a splitting manifests even for neutral charmed mesons pairs ($D^0,\bar{D}^0$), hence being a direct probe of the formation of deconfined phase with charm quarks as degree of freedom. In the limit of large $p_T$ and weak interaction with the QGP, a formula of $Δv_1(p_T,y_z)$ of charged particles and anti-particles as a function of $p_T$ and rapidity $y_z$ can be obtained, which is found to be related to the spectra of charged particles and the integrated effect of the Lorentz force. This formula is expected to be valid to heavy quarks and leptons at high $p_T$, where the modification to their equations of motion due to the interaction with both QGP and electromagnetic fields is small, and should have a general application. We also proposed a measurement of $Δv_1(p_T,y_z)$ of leptons from $Z^0$ decay and its correlation to that of $D$ mesons, which would be a strong probe determining whether the large splitting measured in experiments has the electromagnetic origin.
