$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 8.16 TeV p-Pb碰撞高横动量轻中性介子谱的核修正因子

Nuclear modification factor of light neutral-meson spectra up to high transverse momentum in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 8.16 TeV

ALICE Collaboration

摘要:

在$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 8.16 TeV的p-Pb碰撞中测量了高达空前高横动量($p_{\rm T}$)的中性π介子($π^{0}$)和$η$介子产生截面.在快度间隔$-1.3< y <0.3$中,分别在$0.4<p_{\rm T}<200$ GeV/ $c$和$1.0<p_{\rm T}<50$ GeV/ $c$的范围内,通过介子的双光子衰变通道重建了介子。相应的核修饰因子($R_{\rm pPb}$)提出的$p_{\rm T}$高达200和30 GeV/ $c$,其中前者是通过扩展$π^{0}$测量PP碰撞在$\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV使用合并集群技术。对于$p_{\rm T}<10$ GeV/ $c$,$R_{\rm pPb}$的值低于1,而对于$p_{\rm T}>10$ GeV/ $c$,它们与1是一致的,基本上没有为终态能量损失留下空间。新的数据提供了强有力的约束核部分子分布和碎裂功能在一个广泛的运动学范围内,并在$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV的模型预测以及以前的结果进行了比较。

英文摘要:

Neutral pion ($π^{0}$) and $η$ meson production cross sections were measured up to unprecedentedly high transverse momenta ($p_{\rm T}$) in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 8.16 TeV. The mesons were reconstructed via their two-photon decay channel in the rapidity interval $-1.3< y <0.3$ in the ranges of $0.4<p_{\rm T}<200$ GeV/$c$ and $1.0<p_{\rm T}<50$ GeV/$c$, respectively. The respective nuclear modification factor ($R_{\rm pPb}$) is presented for $p_{\rm T}$ up to of 200 and 30 GeV/$c$, where the former was achieved by extending the $π^{0}$ measurement in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV using the merged cluster technique. The values of $R_{\rm pPb}$ are below unity for $p_{\rm T}<10$ GeV/$c$, while they are consistent with unity for $p_{\rm T}>10$ GeV/$c$, leaving essentially no room for final state energy loss. The new data provide strong constraints for nuclear parton distribution and fragmentation functions over a broad kinematic range and are compared to model predictions as well as previous results at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV.
