在本工作中,我们利用CMS公开数据门户的公开数据,报告了在铅-铅(PbPb)碰撞中,$\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 \text{ TeV}$条件下,对最近提出的可观测量$v_0(p_T)$的初步测量结果。该可观测量直接敏感于径向流,并表征了横向动量($p_T$)依赖的径向流波动,用作研究重离子碰撞中形成的夸克-胶子等离子体(QGP)中集体现象的探针。与$\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02 \text{ TeV}$时ATLAS的结果一致,我们观察到集体径向流的三个关键特征:伪横坐标($η$)的长程相关性、$p_T$依赖性的中心性无关形状以及$p_T$的因子化。本工作中的结果在不确定范围内与2026年Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 032301中报告的ATLAS测量结果相容。
英文摘要:
In this work, we present preliminary results from a measurement of the recently proposed observable, $v_0(p_T)$, in lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 \text{ TeV}$, using public data from the CMS Open Data portal. This observable is directly sensitive to radial flow and characterizes the transverse momentum ($p_T$) dependence of radial flow fluctuations, serving as probe of collective phenomena in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy-ion collisions. Consistently with the ATLAS results at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02 \text{ TeV}$, we observe the three key features of collective radial flow: long-range correlations in pseudorapidity ($η$), a centrality-independent shape as a function of $p_T$, and factorization in $p_T$. The results presented in this work are generally compatible, within uncertainties, with the ATLAS measurements at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02\text{ TeV}$ reported in Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 032301 (2026).
Measurements of two-particle angular correlations of inclusive charged particles as well as identified strange hadron in pp and pPb collisions are presented over a wide range in pseudorapidity and full azimuth. The data were collected using the CMS detector at the LHC, with nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV for pPb collisions and 5, 7, 13 TeV for pp collisions. The results are compared to semi-peripheral PbPb collision data at center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV, covering similar charged-particle multiplicity ranges of the events. For high-multiplicity pp and pPb events, a clear …
The observation of long-range collective correlations for particles emitted in high-multiplicity pp and pPb collisions has opened up new opportunities of investigating novel high-density QCD phenomena in small colliding systems. We review experimental results related to the studies of collective phenomena in small systems from RHIC and the LHC over the past several years. Latest development in theoretical interpretations motivated by different frameworks are also reviewed, and confronted with the experimental data. Perspectives on possible future directions are discussed, with the aim of furth…
The CMS heavy ion program can study quark matter over an unprecedented range of Bjorken x and mass. CMS is equipped with excellent detectors to exploit the new physics probes available at_/Snn = 5.5 TeV. The high rate capability and wide rapidity coverage will allow us to study the correlations between low x and high mass phenomena.
In a relativistic heavy ion collision, heavy flavor (charm and bottom) quarks are mostly created via hard processes at the early stage of the collisions. We present the latest results of the azimuthal anisotropy coefficients $v_{\text{n}}$ for prompt and nonprompt $\text{D}^{0}$ mesons in PbPb, pPb, and pp collisions from the CMS experiment. The studies are about collectivity phenomena in smaller systems (pp and pPb collisions), searches for the effects of very strong electromagnetic fields created in the initial stages of ultrarelativistic PbPb collisions, and charm quark energy loss in the q…
Recent developments in the field of anisotropic flow in nuclear collision are reviewed. The results from the top AGS energy to the top RHIC energy are discussed with emphasis on techniques, interpretation, and uncertainties in the measurements.
We present the capabilities of the CMS experiment to explore the heavy-ion physics program offered by the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The prime goal of this research is to test the fundamental theory of the strong interaction (QCD) in extreme conditions of temperature, density and parton momentum fraction by colliding nuclei at energies of sqrt(s_NN) = 5.5 TeV. This presentation will give the overview of the potential of the CMS to carry out a full set of representative Pb-Pb measurements both in "soft" and "hard" regimes. Measurements include "bulk" observables -- charged hadron multipl…
Comprehensive results on transverse momentum distributions and their ratios for identified light flavor hadrons ($π$, K, p) at low $p_{T}$ and mid-rapidity as a function of charged particle multiplicity are reported for pp collisions at 7 TeV. Particle mass dependent hardening of the spectral shapes in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV were attributed to hydrodynamical flow and quantitatively parameterized with Boltzmann-Gibbs Blast Wave fits. In this contribution, we investigate the existence of collective phenomena in small systems: pp, p-Pb and peripheral Pb-Pb where similar patterns are observe…
A review of the main results on the collective type expansion of the compressed and hot fireball formed in heavy ion collisions and some remarks to be considered when comparing multiplicity wise phenomena taking place in A-A, p-A and pp collisions, are followed by a discussion of the experimental results which seem to evidence collective type phenomena in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV at high charged particle multiplicity. Correlations among the kinetic freeze-out temperature, the average transverse expansion velocity and its profile, as a function of centrality and multiplicity, extract…
Many features of multiparticle production in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions reflect the collision geometry and other collision characteristics determining the initial conditions. As the initial conditions affect to a different degree all the particles, it leads to truly multiparticle effects often referred to as anisotropic collective flow. Studying anisotropic flow in nuclear collisions provides unique and invaluable information about the system evolution and the physics of multiparticle production in general. Being not able to cover all aspects of anisotropic flow in one lecture, I de…
Recent results of the anisotropic flow measurements by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC are reviewed. Directed, elliptic, triangular, and quadrangular flow are presented differentially vs. transverse momentum, pseudo-rapidity, and the collision centrality for charged and identified particles. Experimental probes of local parity violation using the charge dependent azimuthal correlations with respect to the reaction plane are also discussed.
A review of the main results of detailed flow analysis in highly central and semi-central heavy ion collisions at SIS energies is presented in the first part of this paper. The influence of the mass of the colliding nuclei and centrality on the collective expansion and the information on the equation of state of compressed and hot baryonic matter is discussed. The second part is dedicated to a similar type of analysis, based on the behaviour of the average transverse momentum as a function of mass of different hadrons, at the other extreme of energy range, where free baryonic fireballs are pro…
For a detailed review of this subject I refer to a recent paper \cite{Voloshin:2008dg}; in this talk I only very briefly comment on a few most important questions: (a) Very recent significant progress in viscous hydrodynamics calculations (b) Initial eccentricity/flow fluctuations, the effect of which has been clarified recently (c) Initial conditions, in particular the role of the gradients in the initial velocity field, (d) Puzzling system size dependence of directed flow (e) Azimuthal correlations that are sensitive to the strong parity violation (f) Future measurements at RHIC and LHC, inc…
The heavy ion (HI) program at the LHC has proven to be a successful and indispensable part of the LHC physics program. Its chief aim had been the detailed characterization of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in lead-lead collisions. Using additional data sets of proton-lead, proton-proton, and xenon-xenon collisions, the program has also included many advances, for example, in the understanding of the partonic nuclear structure, collectivity in smaller collision systems, and electromagnetic interactions. This Letter of Interest outlines the CMS Heavy Ion Group point of view regarding the scientifi…
I give an overview of the latest development in understanding collective phenomena in high-multiplicity hadronic final state from relativistic nucleus-nucleus, proton-nucleus and proton-proton collisions. Upon reviewing the experimental data and confronting them with theoretical models, a unified paradigm in describing the observed collectivity across all hadronic collision systems is emerging. Potential future paths toward addressing key open questions, especially on collectivity in small systems (pp, pA), are discussed.
We discuss opportunities that may arise from subjecting high-multiplicity events in relativistic heavy ion collisions to an analysis similar to the one used in cosmology for the study of fluctuations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). To this end, we discuss examples of how pertinent features of heavy ion collisions including global characteristics, signatures of collective flow and event-wise fluctuations are visually represented in a Mollweide projection commonly used in CMB analysis, and how they are statistically analyzed in an expansion over spherical harmonic functions. If applied…
Strongly correlated many-body systems often display the emergence of simple patterns and regular behaviour of their global properties. Phenomena such as clusterization, collective motion and appearance of shell structures are commonly observed across different size, time, and energy scales in our universe. Although at the microscopic level their individual parts are described by complex interactions, the collective behaviour of these systems can exhibit strikingly regular patterns. This contribution provides an overview of the experimental signatures that are commonly used to identify the emer…
