利用Z玻色子事例研究PbPb碰撞中部分子与介质的相互作用

Using Z boson events to study parton-medium interactions in PbPb collisions

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

本文报道了在核子-核子质心能量为5.02TeV的铅-铅(PbPb)和质子-质子(PP)碰撞中,部分子簇射与轻子衰变的Z玻色子的硬散射所产生的带电强子的能谱测量结果。PbPb和pp数据集都是由CMS实验在LHC上记录的,分别对应于1.7 nb $^{-1}$和320 pb $^{-1}$的积分亮度。分析了一个横动量为$p_\mathrm{T}$ $\gt$ 30 GeV/ $c$的重建Z玻色子候选粒子的强子碰撞数据。Z玻色子限制了相关部分子的初始能量和方向。在重离子事件中,带电强子相对于Z玻色子方向的方位角分布对介质中部分子簇射和介质响应的改变很敏感。与pp相互作用的参考数据相比,中心PbPb碰撞的结果表明角相关的修改。还报道了对部分子簇射纵向结构的介质修正敏感的Z玻色子事件中带电粒子的碎裂函数和$p_\mathrm{T}$谱的测量结果。中央PbPb事件相比,PP参考数据的显着修改,也发现这些可观的。

英文摘要:

The spectra measurements of charged hadrons produced in the shower of a parton originating in the same hard scattering with a leptonically decaying Z boson, are reported in lead-lead (PbPb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. Both PbPb and pp data sets are recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 nb$^{-1}$ and 320 pb$^{-1}$, respectively. Hadronic collision data with one reconstructed Z boson candidate with the transverse momentum $p_\mathrm{T}$ $\gt$ 30 GeV/$c$ are analyzed. The Z boson constrains the initial energy and direction of the associated parton. In heavy ion events, azimuthal angular distributions of charged hadrons with respect to the direction of a Z boson are sensitive to modifications of the in-medium parton shower and medium response. Compared to reference data from pp interactions, the results for central PbPb collisions indicate a modification of the angular correlations. The measurements of the fragmentation functions and $p_\mathrm{T}$ spectra of charged particles in Z boson events, which are sensitive to medium modifications of the parton shower longitudinal structure, are also reported. Significant modifications in central PbPb events compared to pp reference data are also found for these observables.
