Measuring KS0K± interactions using pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
2019
We present the first measurements of femtoscopic correlations between the K0 S and K± particles in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV measured by the ALICE experiment. The observed femtoscopic correlations are consistent with final-state interactions proceeding solely via the a0(980) resonance. The extracted kaon source radius and correlation strength parameters for K0 SK− are found to be equal within the experimental uncertainties to those for K0 SK+. Results of the present study are compared with those from identical-kaon femtoscopic studies also performed with pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV by ALICE and with a K0 SK± measurement in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV. Combined with the Pb–Pb resul…
Multiplicity dependence of jet-like two-particle correlation structures in p–Pb collisions at √sNN =5.02 TeV
2015
Two-particle angular correlations between unidentified charged trigger and associated particles are measured by the ALICE detector in p–Pb collisions at a nucleon–nucleon centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The transverse-momentum range 0.7 < pT,assoc < pT,trig < 5.0 GeV/c is examined, to include correlations induced by jets originating from low momentum-transfer scatterings (minijets). The correlations expressed as associated yield per trigger particle are obtained in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 0.9. The near-side long-range pseudorapidity correlations observed in high-multiplicity p–Pb collisions are subtracted from both near-side short-range and away-side correlations in order to remov…
Evolution of the longitudinal and azimuthal structure of the near-side jet peak in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV
2017
In two-particle angular correlation measurements, jets give rise to a near-side peak, formed by particles associated to a higher-pT trigger particle. Measurements of these correlations as a function of pseudorapidity (η) and azimuthal (ϕ) differences are used to extract the centrality and pT dependence of the shape of the near-side peak in the pT range 1 < pT < 8 GeV/c in Pb-Pb and pp collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV. A combined fit of the near-side peak and long-range correlations is applied to the data and the peak shape is quantified by the variance of the distributions. While the width of the peak in the ϕ direction is almost independent of centrality, a significant broadening in the η dir…
Jet-like correlations with neutral pion triggers in pp and central Pb–Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV
2016
We present measurements of two-particle correlations with neutral pion trigger particles of transverse momenta 8>pT trig>16 GeV/c and associated charged particles of 0.5>pT assoc>10 GeV/c versus the azimuthal angle difference Δφ at midrapidity in pp and central Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV with ALICE. The new measurements exploit associated charged hadrons down to 0.5 GeV/c, which significantly extends our previous measurement that only used charged hadrons above 3 GeV/c. After subtracting the contributions of the flow background, v2 to v5, the per-trigger yields are extracted for |Δφ|>0.7 on the near and for |Δφ−π|>1.1 on the away side. The ratio of per-trigger yields in Pb–Pb to thos…
Systematic studies of correlations between different order flow harmonics in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV
2018
The correlations between event-by-event fluctuations of anisotropic flow harmonic amplitudes have been measured in Pb-Pb collisions at √ s NN = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The results are reported in terms of multiparticle correlation observables dubbed symmetric cumulants. These observables are robust against biases originating from nonflow effects. The centrality dependence of correlations between the higher order harmonics (the quadrangular v 4 and pentagonal v 5 flow) and the lower order harmonics (the elliptic v 2 and triangular v 3 flow) is presented. The transverse momentum dependences of correlations between v 3 and v 2 and between v 4 and v 2 are …
Amplitude analysis and branching-fraction measurement of Ds+→KS0K−π+π+
2021
Using 6.32 fb−1 of e+e− collision data collected by the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV, an amplitude analysis of the D+s → K0SK−π+π+ decays is performed ...
Many Body Modes of Excitation in Heavy Ion Collisions
1989
The one step excitation of two particle holes in heavy ion collisions is shown to be an important channel in the reaction. Pion production has to compete against this new channel, not present in the NN free reaction, and is reduced sensibly. The effective NN cross section is increased leading to a more effective stopping of the nucleons.
Measurements of Higher Order Flow Harmonics inAu+AuCollisions atsNN=200 GeV
2011
Flow coefficients nu(n) for n = 2, 3, 4, characterizing the anisotropic collective flow in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV, are measured relative to event planes Psi(n), determined at large rapidity. We report nu(n) as a function of transverse momentum and collision centrality, and study the correlations among the event planes of different order n. The nu(n) are well described by hydrodynamic models which employ a Glauber Monte Carlo initial state geometry with fluctuations, providing additional constraining power on the interplay between initial conditions and the effects of viscosity as the system evolves. This new constraint can serve to improve the precision of the extracted …
Status of the DØ Detector
2003
During the data-taking period from 1992 to 1996 (Run I), the Tevatron experiments CDF and DO collected about 125pb¯1 of proton-antiproton collision data at center of mass energies of 1.8 TeV. Since then, the Fermilab accelerator complex has been upgraded to provide collisions at 1.96 TeV and an initial design luminosity of 8.6 × 1031cm¯2s¯1. The new data-taking period (Run II) has started in March 2001 and is expected to deliver more than 10fb¯1 by the year 2007. This dataset is the basis for a rich physics program, including precision mass measurements of the W-boson and top-quark as well as the possibility to discover a light Higgs boson[1].
Positron-Electron Angular Correlations in Heavy Ion Collisions
1987
Recent measurements of positrons in coincidence with electrons emitted in U+Th collisions near the Coulomb barrier show sharp line structures in the sum and difference energy spectra of the two leptons (ref. 1). A possible method to clarify the origin of these lines is to study the angular correlation of the leptons. In this short contribution we want to report on a positron-electron coincidence test measurement performed with the TORI spectrometer. This apparatus offers the possibility to measure positrons in coincidence with electrons emitted into the same and opposite hemisphere as well.
