摘要:

核内胶子密度及其分布和核内束缚核子的部分子修正是核物理和粒子物理中的一些主要问题。近年来,重离子超周边碰撞(UPC)为研究胶子密度提供了一种新的途径,它是基于相干衍射矢量介子的产生,$J/ψ$介子。对于重离子,例如,Pb时,通过UPC $J/ψ$测量发现胶子密度被显著抑制,表明重核中存在强的胶子阴影效应。在这个分析中,我们的目标是看一组独特的数据所采取的STAR实验,其中$J/ψ$介子是光产生的氘核目标没有其他粒子的生产,除了氘核或其分裂产物。零度量热仪的响应相对于氘核解离通过检测束快中子也进行了研究,并提供有关的物理过程的额外信息。在光子-核子质心能量$W\sim25~\rm{GeV}$下测量了光子-氘核系统中$J/ψ$光生的横截面,以及动量转移$t$依赖横截面$dσ/dt$。数据表明,一个更广泛的胶子密度分布比Hulthen电荷密度分布在氘核。

英文摘要:

Gluon density and its distributions inside nuclei and the parton modification of bounded nucleons inside a nucleus, are some of the main standing problems in nuclear and particle physics. In recent years, ultra-peripheral collisions (UPC) of heavy ions have provided a new way of probing the gluon density, which is based on coherent diffractive vector-meson productions, e.g., $J/ψ$ meson. For heavy ions, e.g., Pb, the gluon density is found to be significantly suppressed through the UPC $J/ψ$ measurement, suggesting a strong gluon shadowing effect in heavy nuclei. In this analysis, we aim to look at a unique set of data taken by the STAR experiment, where $J/ψ$ mesons are photoproduced off the deuteron target with no other particle produced, except for the deuteron or its breakup products. The Zero Degree Calorimeter response with respect to the deuteron dissociation by detecting a beam-rapidity neutron is also investigated and provides additional information about the underlying physics process. The cross section of $J/ψ$ photoproduction in the photon-deuteron system is measured at the photon-nucleon center-of-mass energy $W\sim25~\rm{GeV}$, as well as the momentum transfer $t$ dependence cross section, $dσ/dt$. Data suggests a wider gluon density distribution than the Hulthen charge density distribution in deuteron.
