RHIC–PHENIX実験における単電子の測定Single Electron Measurement at RHIC–PHENIX T. Hachiya Hiroshima Univ. For the PHENIX collaboration
Motivation • Charm is produced through mainly gluon-gluon fusion • in heavy ion collisions • Sensitive to gluon density in initial stage of the collisions • Charm propagate through hot and dense medium created • in the collisions • Energy loss of charms via gluon radiation can be seen. • (PHENIX observed high pT suppressions in hadron measurements) • Charm measurements bring us an important baseline of J/ • measurement • Charm Measurement • Measure leptons from • semi-leptonic decay of charm. JPS meeting at Miyazaki

e+ e- Photon Converter Photon Converter Method Source of Electrons • Photonic source • Photon conversion, Dalitz decay… • Non-photonic source • Charm and Beauty decay Photon Converter • 1.7 % radiation length (brass) • The converter can increase electrons only from photonic source by a fixed factor • By comparing the data W and W/O the converter, electrons from non- photonic and photonic source can be separated. Difficulty • Need to adjust acceptance between real data and simulation. • Amount of material in simulation need to be same with that in real data. JPS meeting at Miyazaki
Ratio of pT in Real Data and Simulation Real data Sim Sim +4.3% Sim –4.3% pT of e[GeV/c] Comparison of Conv/No Conv Ratio in Real Data and Simulation • If there is no non-photonic source, real data should agree with simulation. • The ratio in simulation looks gradually increasing. It is different with that in real data. Existence of non-photonic source. • Different amount of material between real data and simulation is studied. (explained in next page) JPS meeting at Miyazaki

Summary • Conversion subtraction method is refined • Difference of amount of material in real and simulation is 0.8%4.3% • Systematic error is much reduced. • Corrected pT spectra of non-photonic electrons are measured in Au+Au collision at sNN= 200GeV. • The Spectra are compared with PYTHIA calculation. • Consistent with electrons from charm and beauty decay. • Described by binary scaling. • Electron measurement by the converter method is very close to final -> Next meeting. Next Step • Eta and Kaon should be taken into account. • The other method to measure high pT region. JPS meeting at Miyazaki
