Academic literature on the topic '28Si-Ag'

In this paper, we present the intermittency and the erraticity analyses of the distributions of charged particles produced in 28Si-Ag/Br interaction at incident energy 14.5 A GeV. The experimental results are compared with a Monte Carlo simulation using ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) model. The experimental data show the presence of a nonstatistical component in the produced charged-particle density. Neither the UrQMD simulation nor the purely statistical simulation was found to match the experimental data. The present set of results are compared to those obtained in similar measurements from earlier high-energy nucleus–nucleus experiments.

The charged-particle pseudorapidity (rapidity) distributions in nucleus–nucleus collisions at the alternating-gradient synchrotron energy (11–15A GeV) have been described by the thermalized cylinder picture. The calculated results are in agreement with the experimental data of the reactions 28Si + Au, Ag, Cu, and Al at 14.6A GeV/c bombarding energy. It is shown that the target stopping power (the leading participant target nucleon rapidity shift with respect to the projectile) increases with the target size, and the projectile penetrating power (the leading participant projectile nucleon rapidity shift with respect to the target) decreases with the increasing of target size.

The multifractal structure of one dimensional charged particle density distribution in 28 Si-Ag / Br interactions at 14.5 GeV per nucleon is investigated by using two different techniques. The experimental measurements are compared with a microscopic transport model of particle production based on the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD). Various parameters related to multifractality, for example the Lévy's index, are obtained. Our analysis shows that multifractal structure is present both in the experiment as well as in the simulation. As far as the self-similar nature of the density fluctuation is concerned, there exists, however, a small but definite quantitative difference between the two.

Presence of unusual azimuthal structures in the particle emission data obtained from the 28 Si – Ag / Br interaction at 14.5A GeV and from the 32 S – Ag / Br interaction at 200A GeV, are investigated in the framework of the Cherenkov gluon emission and/or Mach shock wave formation in nuclear/partonic medium. Nuclear photographic emulsion technique is used to collect the experimental data. The experiment is compared with the predictions of two simulations, namely (i) the Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (RQMD) and (ii) the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD). A charge reassignment algorithm is implemented over the outputs of the simulations to mimic the Bose–Einstein correlation (BEC) effect. Our analysis confirms presence of jet-like structures in both experiments beyond statistical noise. Such structures are more pronounced in the 32 S data than in the 28 Si data.

The present paper deals with the interactions of 16O and 28Si nuclei with emulsion heavy target nuclei (silver (Ag) and bromine (Br)) at 4.5A GeV/c. The results have been analyzed to identify interesting characteristics of the total disintegration (TD) events produced in these interactions. Events having a number of heavily ionizing particles Nh ≥ 28 have been selected in this study. The integral multiplicity distributions for the disintegrated particles from the target nuclei have been used to separate the inelastic interactions with the free hydrogen (H), the light (CNO), and the heavy (AgBr) nuclei. The average multiplicities of the different secondary particles emitted in these interactions have been compared with the corresponding ones of different projectiles nearly at the same momentum. The average multiplicity of the grey particles is found to increase with the mass of the projectile, while the average multiplicity of the black particles is found to decrease with increasing mass of the projectile; this result agrees with the prediction of the fireball model. Also, the dependence of the shower, grey, and black particles produced in the TD events on the mass of the projectile has been studied. Moreover, the dependence of the probability of the TD for the projectile mass as well as the target fragments has also been discussed. The results show that the multiplicity distributions of the shower, grey, and black particles present a Gaussian distribution. Finally, the linear dependence of the grey and compound multiplicities on the black, heavy, and shower particles has also been observed.
