Kvasnikova, Ioulia. "Mesonic sources of dileptons in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions." Thesis, McGill University, 2001. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=37753.
Full textA systematic study of light meson contributions is performed. The most significant decay and reaction contributions are calculated and summed for low and intermediate invariant mass dileptons. The calculated dilepton rate is compared to that obtained using spectral functions extracted from data, and it is shown that the chosen set of mesonic reactions and decays accounts for all significant contributions to the thermal dilepton emission.
A hydrodynamic approach to the space-time evolution of the hot medium formed as a result of a central heavy ion collision at ultra-relativistic energies is considered. A theoretical curve of intermediate invariant mass dilepton spectrum is computed and compared to the NA50 data from central Pb(158 AGeV)+Pb collisions. Experimental acceptance cuts are accounted for. Drell-Yan processes are considered as well. We find that our thermal dileptons account for the intermediate mass excess observed by the NA50 Collaboration. We see no need to invoke charm enhancement. Predictions for the future experiments at RHIC and are made.

Full textIn the Standard Model of particle physics,the theory of the strong interaction, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), is a gauge theory of symmetry group SU (Nc) with respect to the color quantum number. QCD obeys the property of asymptotic freedom, allowing the computation of high-energy physical observables using perturbative QCD (pQCD). This thesis deals with the pQCD description of hadron production rates in high-energy hadronic collisions, in view of applications to the phenomenology of proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at hadron colliders (RHIC,LHC), where so-called nuclear effects (shadowing, parton energy loss, transverse momentum broadening) come into play. In a first part, I study the transverse broadening of an energetic parton system crossing a nucleus, putting emphasis on the color structure of the process. A theoretical setup based on the dipole formalism is used,and a kinetic equation is derived for the parton pair transverse momentum distribution, requiring the parton pair to be in a given color state (SU (Nc) irreducible representation) both in the initial and final state. The color structure is encoded in a color evolution operator, which is obtained for any type of parton pair. For a small-size compact pair, the derivation yields a transparent physical interpretation of the pair transverse broadening process. In a second part, I discuss the soft anomalous dimension matrix Q, which is formally analogous to the previous evolution operator, and which appears when studying soft gluon radiation associated to 2 −> 2 hard parton scattering. It has been noticed that the Q-matrix associated to gg −> gg has a surprising symmetry (relating external and internal degrees of freedom). I developed tools to derive the Q-matrices associated to2 −> 2 scatterings involving generalized partons, in order to explore if the symmetry observed for gg −> gg is fortuitous or not

Full textThis thesis discusses the process of extracting the longitudinal asymmetry, $A_L
{W\pm}$, describing $W\rightarrow\mu$ production in forward kinematic regimes. This asymmetry is used to constrain our understanding of the polarized parton distribution functions characterizing $\bar{u}$ and $\bar{d}$ sea quarks in the proton. This asymmetry will be used to constrain the overall contribution of the sea-quarks to the total proton spin. The asymmetry is evaluated over the pseudorapidity range of the PHENIX Muon Arms, $2.1 < |\eta|2.6$, for longitudinally polarized proton-proton collisions at 510 GeV $\sqrt{s}$. In particular, I will discuss the statistical methods used to characterize real muonic $W$ decays and the various background processes is presented, including a discussion of likelihood event selection and the Extended Unbinned Maximum Likelihood fit. These statistical methods serve estimate the yields of $W$ muonic decays, which are used to calculate the longitudinal asymmetry.

Understanding the spin structure of the nucleon can be considered as one of the fundamental goals in nuclear physics. Following the introduction of the quark model in 1964, the spin of the proton was naively explained by the alignment of spins of the valence quarks. However, in our current understanding, the valence quarks, sea quarks, gluons, and their possible orbital angular momentum are all expected to contribute to the overall spin of the proton. Despite this significant progress, our understanding of the individual spin contributions of quarks and antiquarks to the proton is not yet complete. Measurements of W± single spin asymmetries in longitudinally polarized proton-proton collisions at RHIC provides unique and clean access to the individual helicity distributions of light quarks and antiquarks of the proton. W± boson are produced through the annihilation of up + anti-down (anti-up + down) quarks and can be detected through their leptonic decays to electrons and anti-electron neutrinos (positrons and electron neutrinos). Due to maximal violation of parity during the production, W bosons couple to left-handed quarks and right-handed anti-quarks and hence offer direct probes of their respective helicity distributions in the nucleon. The STAR experiment at RHIC is well equipped to measure W decay electrons and positrons in longitudinally polarized p+p collisions, where only the charged lepton is observed in the final state with a large missing transverse energy opposite in azimuth due to the undetected neutrino. In this dissertation, the details of the analysis and the results of the longitudinal single spin asymmetry, AL, for W boson production at RHIC are presented. The total integrated luminosity of the data analyzed is 246 pb-1 with an average beam polarization of ~54%. The data are collected during 2013 in longitudinally polarized proton-proton collisions at √S =510 GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The analysis includes the procedure, the results and the evaluation of the systematic uncertainty of the calibration of the STAR Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter which was performed coincident with the primary W AL analysis. The W AL analysis is discussed in terms of data QA, the reconstruction of W bosons via decayed electrons and positrons, and the estimation of the electroweak and QCD type background contributions. The reconstruction of W decay events includes the use of the Time Projection Chamber for the tracking purposes and the Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the identification and isolation of electron and poistron candidates by measuring their transverse energies in the calorimeter towers. Finally the results of AL for W+ (W-) are reported as a function of decay positron (electron) pseudo-rapidity, η, between -1 and +1. The theoretical predictions for the spin asymmetries calculated using recent polarized and unpolarized parton distribution functions, are compared with the measured values.

Full textLa multiplicité du J/Psi observée dans ces résultats ne confirme pas une brutale décroissance pour les collisions très centrales. Inversement, il n'y a pas non plus d'évidence pour une saturation de la suppression, comme prédit par plusieurs modèles théoriques ne postulant pas l'existence d'une phase plasma.
Les sections efficaces de production et les multiplicités des dimuons issus des mésons phi et omega sont similaires aux précédents travaux. Néanmoins l'évolution depuis 2002 de la valeur du PPDB du BR_(phi->mu mu) induit un rapprochement entre les multiplicités de phi observées ici et celles obtenues par NA49, ce qui résoud en partie le «phi puzzle ». Toutefois les pentes apparentes restent différentes.
Cette étude débouche aussi sur des perspectives pour la détermination du taux d'étrangeté dans le milieu grâce à l'utilisation directe du rapport phi/omega qui correspond au carré du facteur de saturation de l'étrangeté chi_s utilisé dans de nombreux modèles thermiques.

Full textThe main goal of relativistic heavy ion collisions is to study nuclear matter under extreme conditions of temperature and density. It is under these conditions that it is believed that a phase transition to a new state of matter where quarks and gluons are no loger conned takes place, the so called Quarks and Gluon Plasma. Strange particle production is an important tool for the characterization of this new state of matter. Strangeness enhancement was considered as a possible evidence for the formation QGP even before the rst RHIC experimental results. In this thesis, it is determined a production of neutral strange particles K0 s and in Cu+Cu collisions at p sNN = 62:4 GeV, using a rapidity range y < j0:75j. These data are compared to theoretical models (statistical-thermodynamic, coalescence and core-corona) in order to understand the hadronization process in relativistic heavy ions collisions.

Full textL'expérience NA50, installée auprès de l'accélérateur SPS du CERN, détecte les paires de muons émises dans ces interactions au moyen d'un spectromètre spécifique. La mesure de la centralité des collisions repose sur trois détecteurs indépendants : un calorimètre électromagnétique, un détecteur de multiplicité et un calorimètre à zéro degré.
Les résultats des analyses proton-noyau fournissent une valeur de référence pour l'étude des interactions noyau-noyau. Les distributions expérimentales, corrigées de l'acceptance et de la résolution par une méthode quadri-dimensionnelle, des dimuons IMR sont correctement reproduites par la superposition des processus conventionnels DY et DDbar (désintégration des mésons charmés). L'extrapolation linéaire avec le nombre de masse des noyaux des résultats p-A aux collisions S-U et Pb-Pb, sous-estime systématiquement les spectres mesurés dans la région des masses intermédiaires.
Cet excès de dimuons IMR augmente avec la centralité des collisions. Plusieurs modèles théoriques sont présentés et comparés aux données noyau-noyau. Nous montrons qu'un modèle basé sur la diffusion des mésons D et Dbar dans l'état final ne reproduit pas les distributions expérimentales. Finalement, cette étude permet de proposer deux explications possibles de l'excès observé. Les spectres noyau-noyau peuvent être reproduits soit par une augmentation de la production de charme soit par la présence de dimuons thermiques émis par un milieu dense et chaud.

"Exclusive J/Ψ Vector-Meson production in high-energy nuclear collisions: a cross-section determinaton in the Colour Glass Condensate effective field theory and a feasibility study using the STARlight Monte Carlo event generator." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9214.
Full textThe cross-section calculation for exclusive J /Ψ vector-meson production in ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions is approached in two ways. First, the setup for a theoretical calculation is done in the context of the Colour Glass Condensate effective field theory. Rapidity-averaged n-point correlators are used to describe the strong interaction part of this process. The JIMWLK equation can be used to predict the energy evolution of a correlator. In order to facilitate practical calculations, an approximation scheme must be employed. The Gaussian Truncation is one such method, which approximates correlators in terms of new 2-point functions. This work takes the first step beyond this truncation scheme by considering higher-order n-point functions in the approximation. An expression for the cross-section is written, which takes parametrised 2- and 4-point correlators as input. This expression can be used as the basis for a full cross-section calculation. The second part of the thesis is a feasibility study using Monte Carlo simulations done by the STARlight event generator. A prediction is made for how many exclusive J /Ψ vector-mesons are expected to be detected by ATLAS in a data set corresponding to 160 μb−1 total integrated luminosity. It is found that the muon reconstruction efficiencies for low pT muons is too poor in ATLAS to do this analysis effectively. On the order of 150 candidate events are expected from all the Pb-Pb collision data collected in 2011. The feasibility study acts as a preliminary investigation for a full cross-section measurement using ATLAS collision data. Once this is completed, it can be compared with the theoretical prediction for the cross-section.

Full textThe goal of relativistic heavy-ion collisions is to study the behavior of quarks and gluons under extreme conditions of pressure, density and temperature, such as those expected to have existed in the the beginning of the universe. In this work, the transverse energy ET was investigated for Au+Au collisions measured with the STAR experiment at RHIC with beam energies from 7.7 to 200 GeV. The centrality and collision energy dependence of ET per number of participants was measured, as well as the energy dependence for the ET per charged particles in central collisions. The results indicate that for collision energies less than 7.7 GeV the average transverse energy per unit charge varies significantly with increasing collision energy, reaching the saturation limit for energies higher than 7.7 GeV, where this ratio becomes almost constant. The electromagnetic fraction of the total ET was estimated, and the results are in agreement with a final state dominated by baryons, for lower energies, and a meson dominated state for higher energies.

Full textHigh energy physics with heavy ion collisions studies quarks and gluons under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure and density. Such conditions lead to the formation of a new state of matter called the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The measurement of global observables have been used as an important tool for the characterization of this new state. Among these observables, the transverse energy per unit of rapidity (dET/dy) from particles emitted in a heavy ion collision can be used as evidence of QGP formation. The work proposes a procedure to obtain the transverse electromagnetic energy, an important component of total transverse energy, in Pb-Pb collisions measured by the LHC-ALICE experiment. The study was done using Monte Carlo simulations, and validated the proposed procedure with a systematic difference as function of the centrality around 2%.

Full textIn this work, we calculate the elliptic flow parameter v2, as a function of the pseudorapidity η, the transversal momentum pt and the centrality of the collision. We found that v2,as a function of η, reproduces the characteristic shape of the experimental data, with a maximum at η = 0 and decreasing as |η| increases. We aIso observed that v2, as a function of pt, linearly increases, therefore it doesn't show the saturation observed in experimental data, for pt > 1.5 GeV (when we use the Cooper-Frye prescription). Using the continuous emission mechanism, we observed a considerable reduction of the elliptical flow in the range of high pt. However, such a reduction doesn't characterize a saturation. In the case of v2, as a function of centrality, the results are consistent with the experimental data. We also verified that the effect of a equation of state with critical point is of little importance to the elliptical flow. On the other side, we found a strong dependence of v2 on the type of initial conditions used (average or fluctuating initials conditions). Finally, we propose a prescrition to calculate v2 from quantities which can be experimentally measured. The result obtained with this prescrition is consistent with the v2 theoretically computed (using the impact parameter direction).
