Abstract

We propose and develop a new signature, the measurement of hadron-electron correlations to measure energy loss of heavy quarks in the quark-gluon plasma. This measurements will be used in future analyses to quantify the energy densities created in collisions of heavy ions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Lab and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. In addition we develop and implement a computing model that will leverage LLNL expertise in cost-effective high performance computing to perform data analyses and simulations for the ALICE experiment at CERN.

Characterization of the initial state and medium properties of heavy-ion collisions at ALICE

Technical Report Timmins, Anthony

This report summarizes the key achievements from my "Characterization of the initial state and medium properties of heavy-ion collisions at ALICE" award. This report summarizes the key achievements from DOE award, which started February 1st 2015, and ended January 31st 2018. The award funded experimental research into relativistic heavy-ion collisions at two facilities: The ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, and the STAR detector at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Relativistic heavy-ion collisions aim to create the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is a unique state where the building blocks of nuclear matter,more »« less

SYSTEMATIC STUDIES OF HEAVY ION COLLISIONS TO SEARCH FOR QUARK-GLUON PLASMA

Technical Report Wang, Fuqiang

This is the final technical report for DOE Outstanding Junior Investigator (OJI) Award, 'Systematic Studies of Heavy Ion Collisions to Search for Quark-Gluon Plasma', grant DE-FG02-02ER41219, Principal Investigator (PI) Fuqiang Wang. The research under the grant was divided into two phases. The first concentrated on systematic studies of soft hadron production at low transverse momentum (p{sub T}), in particular the production of (anti-)baryon and strangeness in heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies. The second concentrated on measurements of di-hadron and multi-hadron jet-correlations and investigations of medium response to jets. The research was conducted at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) atmore »« less

Heavy-quark production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions within a partonic transport model

Journal Article Uphoff, Jan; Fochler, Oliver; Greiner, Carsten; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The production and space-time evolution of charm and bottom quarks in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are investigated with the partonic transport model BAMPS (Boltzmann approach of multiparton scatterings). Heavy quarks, produced in primary hard parton scatterings during nucleon-nucleon collisions, are sampled using the Monte Carlo event generator pythia or the leading-order minijet model in conjunction with the Glauber model, revealing a strong sensitivity on the parton distribution functions, scales, and heavy-quark mass. In a comprehensive study exploring different charm masses, K factors, and possible initial gluon conditions,more »« less

Simultaneous description of hadron and jet suppression in heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Casalderrey-Solana, J.; Hulcher, Z.; Milhano, G.; ... - Physical Review C

We present a global fit to all data on the suppression of high-energy jets and high-energy hadrons in the most central heavy-ion collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for two different collision energies, within a hybrid strong-weak coupling quenching model. Even though the measured suppression factors for hadrons and jets differ significantly from one another and appear to asymptote to different values in the high-energy limit, we obtain a simultaneous description of all these data after constraining the value of a single model parameter. We use our model to investigate the origin of the difference between the observedmore »« less

The Shape and Flow of Heavy Ion Collisions (490th Brookhaven Lecture)

Multimedia Schenke, Bjoern

The sun can’t do it, but colossal machines like the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven Lab and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe sure can. Quarks and gluons make up protons and neutrons found in the nucleus of every atom in the universe. At heavy ion colliders like RHIC and the LHC, scientists can create matter more than 100,000 times hotter than the center of the sun—so hot that protons and neutrons melt into a plasma of quarks and gluons. The particle collisions and emerging quark-gluon plasma hold keys to understanding how these fundamental particles interact with eachmore »« less
