Event-by-event Fluctuations in Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions and Their Consequences for Azimuthally Sensitive Hanbury Brown-Twiss Interferometry

Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
The relativistic heavy-ion program is dedicated to systematically probing the properties of the atomic nucleus and the theory of quantum chromodynamics at extremely high temperatures and energy densities. Numerous observables have been developed and studied over the past several decades, allowing one to extract valuable information about heavy-ion collisions and their evolution, including total multiplicity, anisotropic flows, mean transverse momentum, interferometric radii, and so on. Many of these observables have been studied on an event-by-event basis, allowing them, along with their event-by-event probability distributions, to be used for constraining the role of event-by-event fluctuations in the evolution of heavy-ion collisions. In this thesis, I discuss the possibility of treating the Hanbury Brown-Twiss radii as event-by-event observables, and consider the ways in which their event-by-event probability distributions might be related to interesting theoretical quantities, such as transport coefficients in the quark-gluon plasma, or used to constrain viable models of the initial state in heavy-ion collisions.

Book Description
Ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions are believed to produce a state of deconfined quark-gluon plasma that is similar to the universe just after the Big Bang. To investigate the properties of this matter, a Beam Energy Scan was performed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Lab. Information about the phase diagram describing the matter produced in these collisions can be gained by studying the beam energy dependence of various observables. One such analysis is Hanbury Brown Twiss (HBT) interferometry which is used to measure the size and shape of the regions emitting particles which are in turn related to dynamical processes that drive the evolution of the collisions.

The Beginning and End of Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions: Using Uranium Beams and Bose-Einstein Correlations as Probes of the Collision Fireball
Author: Anthony Joseph Kuhlman (Jr)
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780549076629
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
The final chapter focuses on the development of a non-relativistic formalism to describe the effects of final state interactions on the measured radii. We present this formula and examine its behavior in various limits. We then pursue approximations to this expression to produce a more practical result. In the limit of a weak interaction with the medium, we produce a surprisingly straightforward result.

Heavy Ion Collisions At Intermediate Energy: Theoretical Models
Author: Dasgupta Subal
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9813277955
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Ions are atoms or molecules stripped of their electrons, so they can be accelerated by electric fields. They can be made to hit each other with low energy, intermediate energy, high energy, or very high energy; each energy range seeks to investigate different aspects of hadronic physics. Intermediate-energy heavy ion collisions explore the nuclei far from stability valley, the incompressibility of nuclear matter, the liquid-gas phase transition in nuclear environment, the symmetry energy far from the normal density, and other phenomena. This has been an active field of research for last four decades.This is a book for entrants in the field. It is suitable as a companion book in a graduate course. For practitioners in the field it will be useful as a reference.
