Heavy flavor electron $R_{dA}$ 60-88% $d$+Au collisions. The nuclear modification factor, $R_{dA}$, for electrons from open heavy flavor decays, for the (a) most central and (b) most peripheral centrality bins.

Heavy flavor electron $R_{dA}$ 0-100% d+Au collisions. The nuclear modification factors $R_{dA}$ and $R_{AA}$ for minimum bias $d$+Au and Au+Au collisions, for the $\pi^{0}$ and $e^{\pm}_{HF}$. The two boxes on the right side of the plot represent the global uncertainties in the $d$+Au (left) and Au+Au (right) values of $N_{coll}$ . An additional common global scaling uncertainty of 9.7% on $R_{dA}$ and $R_{AA}$ from the $p+p$ reference data is omitted for clarity.

Heavy flavor electron yield, $d$+Au $\implies$ CHARGED X. Electrons from heavy flavor decays, separated by centrality. The lines represent a fit to the previous $p+p$ result [23], scaled by $N_{coll}$. The inset shows the ratio of photonic background electrons determined by the converter and cocktail methods for Minimum Bias $d$+Au collisions, with error bars (boxes) that represent the statistical uncertainty on the converter data (systematic uncertainty on the photonic-electron cocktail).

Heavy flavor electron $R_{dA}$ 40-60% $d$+Au collisions. The nuclear modification factor, $R_{dA}$, for electrons from open heavy flavor decays, for the (a) most central and (b) most peripheral centrality bins.

Influence of temperature-dependent shear viscosity on elliptic flow at backward and forward rapidities in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
2014
We explore the influence of a temperature-dependent shear viscosity over entropy density ratio $\eta/s$ on the azimuthal anisotropies v_2 and v_4 of hadrons at various rapidities. We find that in Au+Au collisions at full RHIC energy, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, the flow anisotropies are dominated by hadronic viscosity at all rapidities, whereas in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC energy, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2760$ GeV, the flow coefficients are affected by the viscosity both in the plasma and hadronic phases at midrapidity, but the further away from midrapidity, the more dominant the hadronic viscosity is. We find that the centrality and rapidity dependence of the elliptic and quadrangular flows can help…
Rate Equation Network for Baryon Production in High Energy Nuclear Collisions
2003
We develop and solve a network of rate equations for the production of baryons and anti-baryons in high energy nuclear collisions. We include all members of the baryon octet and decuplet and allow for transformations among them. This network is solved during a relativistic 2+1 hydrodynamical expansion of the of the hot matter created in the collision. As an application we compare to the number of protons, lambdas, negative cascades, and omega baryons measured at mid-rapidity in central collisions of gold nuclei at 65 GeV per nucleon at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).
Nuclear structure functions at a future electron-ion collider
2017
The quantitative knowledge of heavy nuclei's partonic structure is currently limited to rather large values of momentum fraction $x$---robust experimental constraints below $x\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$ at low resolution scale ${Q}^{2}$ are particularly scarce. This is in sharp contrast to the free proton's structure which has been probed in Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) measurements down to $x\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$ at perturbative resolution scales. The construction of an electron-ion collider (EIC) with a possibility to operate with a wide variety of nuclei, will allow one to explore the low-$x$ region in much greater detail. In the present paper we simula…
