"Antiflow" of antiprotons in heavy ion collisions (1994)

André Jahns Christian Spieles Heinz Sorge Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

In the framework of the relativistic quantum dynamics approach we investigate antiproton observables in Au-Au collisions at 10.7A GeV. The rapidity dependence of the in-plane directed transverse momentum p(y) of p's shows the opposite sigh of the nucleon flow, which has indeed recently been discovered at 10.7A GeV by the E877 group. The "antiflow" of p's is also predicted at 2A GeV and at 160 A GeV and appears at all energies also for pi's and K's. These predicted p anticorrelations are a direct proof of strong p annihilation in massive heavy ion reactions.

High pT pions as probes of the dense phase of relativistic heavy ion collisions (1994)

S. A. Bass C. Hartnack Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

The properties of pions from the hot and dense reaction stage of relativistic heavy ion collisions are investigated with the quantum molecular dynamics model. Pions originating from this reaction stage stem from resonance decay with enhanced mass. They carry high transverse momenta. The calculation shows a direct correlation between high pt pions, early freeze-out times and high freeze-out densities.

Pion and thermal photon spectra as a possible signal for a phase transition (2005)

Adrian Dumitru Ulrich Katscher Joachim A. Maruhn Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner Dirk-Hermann Rischke

We calculate thermal photon and neutral pion spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions in the framework of three-fluid hydrodynamics. Both spectra are quite sensitive to the equation of state used. In particular, within our model, recent data for S + Au at 200 AGeV can only be understood if a scenario with a phase transition (possibly to a quark-gluon plasma) is assumed. Results for Au+Au at 11 AGeV and Pb + Pb at 160 AGeV are also presented.

A Stopped delta-matter source in heavy ion collisions at 10-GeV/N? (1994)

Markus Hofmann Raffaele Mattiello Heinz Sorge Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

We predict the formation of highly dense baryon-rich resonance matter in Au+Au collisions at AGS energies. The final pion yields show observable signs for resonance matter. The Delta1232 resonance is predicted to be the dominant source for pions of small transverse momenta. Rescattering e ects consecutive excitation and deexcitation of Delta's lead to a long apparent life- time (> 10 fm/c) and rather large volumina (several 100 fm3) of the Delta-matter state. Heavier baryon resonances prove to be crucial for reaction dynamics and particle production at AGS.

Baryon-antibaryon pair production in time-dependent meson fields (1995)

Igor N. Mishustin Leonid M. Satarov Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

Strong mean meson fields, which are known to exist in normal nuclei, experience a violent deformation in the course of a heavy-ion collision at relativistic energies. This may give rise to a new collective mechanism of the particle production, not reducible to the superposition of elementary nucleon-nucleon collisions.

pi-N correlations probe the nuclear equation of state in relativistic heavy ion-collisions (1995)

S. A. Bass C. Hartnack Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

We investigate the sensivity of pionic bounce-off and squeeze-out on the density and momentum dependence of the real part of the nucleon optical potential. For the in-plane pion bounce-off we find a strong sensivity on both the density and momentum dependence whereas the out-of-plane pion squeeze-out shows a strong sensivity only towards the momentum dependence but little sensivity towards the density dependence.

Bose stimulated pion production in relativistic nuclear collisions (1995)

Igor N. Mishustin Leonid M. Satarov Joachim A. Maruhn Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

We demonstrate the importance of the Bose-statistical effects for pion production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The evolution of the pion phase-space density in central collisions of ultrarelativistic nuclei is studied in a simple kinetic model taking into account the effect of Bose-simulated pion production by the NN collisions in a dense cloud of mesons.

Prominent transverse flow of clusters in stopped Au(150 A MeV)+Au reactions (1995)

Jean Pierre Coffin C. Kuhn C. Roy C. Cerruti P. Crochet P. Fintz G. Guillaume A. Houari F. Jundt F. Rami L. Tizniti P. Wagner J. Konopka Horst Stöcker

Stopped Au(150 A MeV) + Au collisions have been measured with the FOPI-Detector at GSI by imposing an upper limit on the ratio of the global longitudinal momentum to the collected charge within an event.

Azimuthal correlations of pions in relativistic heavy ion collisions at 1 GeV/nucl. (1995)

Steffen A. Bass Christoph Hartnack Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

Triple differential cross sections of pions in heavy ion collisions at 1 GeV/nucl. are studied with the IQMD model. After discussing general properties of resonance and pion production we focus on azimuthal correlations: At projectile- and target-rapidities we observe an anticorrelation in the in-plane transverse momentum between pions and protons. At c.m.-rapidity, however, we find that high pt pions are being preferentially emitted perpendicular to the event-plane. We investigate the causes of those correlations and their sensitivity on the density and momentum dependence of the real and imaginary part of the nucleon and pion optical potential.

On the impossibility of temperature extraction from heavy ion induced particle spectra (1995)

Jens Konopka Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

Spectra of various particle species have been calculated with the Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD) model for very central collisions of Au+Au. They are compatible with the idea of a fully stopped thermal source which exhibits a transversal expansion besides the thermal distribution of an ideal gas. How- ever, the microscopic analyses of the local flow velocities and temperatures indicate much lower temperatures at densities associated with the freeze-out. The results express the overall impossibility of a model-independent determi- nation of nuclear temperatures from heavy ion spectral data, also at other energies (e.g. CERN) or for other species (i.e. pions, kaons, hyperons)
