Baryon Stopping at 40 and 158 A GeV Net proton spectra in pp, peripheral and central PbPb collisions H. Ströbele Goethe-Universität Frankfurt
outline • energy loss and baryon transport • (normalized) rapidity and Feynman x • net protons, net baryons, baryochemical potential (Anti-L/Anti-p) • rapidity loss: scaling in “fragmentation” and mid-rapidity regions ?? • sqrt(s) dependence of rapidity shape and ~ loss, • sqrt(s) dependence of chem.-temperature and <p_T> • centrality dependence of rapidity shape and ~ loss at 40 & 158 GeV/nucleon • centrality dependence of chem.-temperature(?) and <p_T> at 40 & 158 GeV/nucleon • model comparison: HSD, UrQMD, core corona H. Ströbele Goethe-Universität Frankfurt
energy loss and baryon transport • In particle collisions part of the cm-energy of the incident particles is diverted into: • Thermal motion • Radial or transverse flow • Mass (particle production) • The remaining energy stays in the longitudinal motion • => plong∙c = (√s – Ethermal – Eflow – ∑mi∙c2)/2 H. Ströbele Goethe-Universität Frankfurt
energy loss and baryon transport • => plong∙c = (√s – Ethermal + Eflow + ∑mi∙c2)/2 • Plongis commonly represented by • rapidity: y = ln((E+plong)/mT) (energy loss causes rapidity shift (e.g. ΔEcm=0.5 ≈> Δy=0.7)). • or • Feynman x: xF = plong/pbeam (energy loss is mapped directly on xF (e.g. ΔE=0.5 ≈> xF= 1 – 0.5)). H. Ströbele Goethe-Universität Frankfurt
We will compare proton rapidity distributions from 40 and 158 A GeV PbPb collisions at different centralities to nucleon-nucleon (NN) data (as a base line). • First get the base line, i.e. NN H. Ströbele Goethe-Universität Frankfurt
