Phasespace Correlations of Antideuterons in Heavy Ion Collisions (1995)

Marcus Bleicher Christian Spieles André Jahns Raffaele Mattiello Heinz Sorge Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

In the framework of the relativistic quantum molecular dynamics approach (RQMD) we investigate antideuteron (d) observables in Au+Au collisions at 10.7 AGeV. The impact parameter dependence of the formation ratios d/p2 and d/p2 is calculated. In central collisions, the antideuteron formation ratio is predicted to be two orders of magnitude lower than the deuteron formation ratio. The d yield in central Au+Au collisions is one order of magnitude lower than in Si+Al collisions. In semicentral collisions di erent configuration space distributions of p s and d s lead to a large squeeze out e ect for antideuterons, which is not predicted for the p s.

Antibaryons in massive heavy ion reactions : importance of potentials (1995)

Christian Spieles Marcus Bleicher André Jahns Raffaele Mattiello Heinz Sorge Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

In the framework of RQMD we investigate antiproton observables in massive heavy ion collisions at AGS energies and compare to preliminary results of the E878 collaboration. We focus here on the considerable influence of the real part of an antinucleon nucleus optical potential on the ¯p momentum spectra. Pacs-numbers: 14.20 Dh, 25.70.-z

Hypermatter : properties and formation in relativistic nuclear collisions (1995)

Lars Gerland Christian Spieles Marcus Bleicher Panajotis Papazoglou Jörg Brachmann Adrian Dumitru Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner Jürgen Schaffner Carsten Greiner

The extension of the Periodic System into hitherto unexplored domains - anti- matter and hypermatter - is discussed. Starting from an analysis of hyperon and single hypernuclear properties we investigate the structure of multi-hyperon objects (MEMOs) using an extended relativistic meson field theory. These are contrasted with multi-strange quark states (strangelets). Their production mechanism is stud- ied for relativistic collisions of heavy ions from present day experiments at AGS and SPS to future opportunities at RHIC and LHC. It is pointed out that abso- lutely stable hypermatter is unlikely to be produced in heavy ion collisions. New attention should be focused on short lived metastable hyperclusters ( / 10 10s) and on intensity interferometry of multi-strange-baryon correlations.

Nucleus-nucleus collisions at highest energies (1996)

Marcus Bleicher N. Amelin Steffen A. Bass Mathias Brandstetter Adrian Dumitru Christoph Ernst Lars Gerland Jens Konopka Christian Spieles Henning Weber L. A. Winckelmann Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

The microscopic phasespace approach URQMD is used to investigate the stopping power and particle production in heavy systems at SPS and RHIC energies. We find no gap in the baryon rapidity distribution even at RHIC. For CERN energies URQMD shows a pile up of baryons and a supression of multi-nucleon clusters at midrapidity.

Dynamics of strangeness production and strange matter formation (1996)

Christian Spieles Marcus Bleicher Lars Gerland Horst Stöcker Carsten Greiner

We want to draw the attention to the dynamics of a (finite) hadronizing quark matter drop. Strange and antistrange quarks do not hadronize at the same time for a baryon-rich system1. Both the hadronic and the quark matter phases enter the strange sector fs 6= 0 of the phase diagram almost immediately, which has up to now been neglected in almost all calculations of the time evolution of the system. Therefore it seems questionable, whether final particle yields reflect the actual thermodynamic properties of the system at a certain stage of the evolution. We put special interest on the possible formation of exotic states, namely strangelets (multistrange quark clusters). They may exist as (meta-)stable exotic isomers of nuclear matter 2. It was speculated that strange matter might exist also as metastable exotic multi-strange (baryonic) objects (MEMO s 3). The possible creation in heavy ion collisions of long-lived remnants of the quark-gluon-plasma, cooled and charged up with strangeness by the emission of pions and kaons, was proposed in 1,4,5. Strangelets can serve as signatures for the creation of a quark gluon plasma. Currently, both at the BNL-AGS and at the CERN-SPS experiments are carried out to search for MEMO s and strangelets, e. g. by the E864, E878 and the NA52 collaborations9,

Baryon stopping and strangeness production in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions (1996)

Lars Gerland Christian Spieles Marcus Bleicher Horst Stöcker Carsten Greiner

The stopping behaviour of baryons in massive heavy ion collisions ( s k 10AGeV) is investigated within di erent microscopic models. At SPS-energies the predictions range from full stopping to virtually total transparency. Experimental data are indicating strong stopping. The initial baryo-chemical potentials and temperatures at collider energies and their impact on the formation probability of strange baryon clusters and strangelets are discussed.

Microscopic calculations of stopping and flow from 160AMeV to 160AGeV (1996)

L. A. Winckelmann Steffen A. Bass Marcus Bleicher Mathias Brandstetter Adrian Dumitru Christoph Ernst Lars Gerland Jens Konopka Sven Soff Christian Spieles Henning Weber Christoph Hartnack Jörg Aichelin N. Amelin Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

The behavior of hadronic matter at high baryon densities is studied within Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (URQMD). Baryonic stopping is observed for Au+Au collisions from SIS up to SPS energies. The excitation function of flow shows strong sensitivities to the underlying equation of state (EOS), allowing for systematic studies of the EOS. Effects of a density dependent pole of the rho-meson propagator on dilepton spectra are studied for different systems and centralities at CERN energies.

Extracting the equation of state from a microscopic non-equilibrium model (1996)

Christian Spieles Adrian Dumitru Steffen A. Bass Marcus Bleicher Jörg Brachmann Mathias Brandstetter Christoph Ernst Lars Gerland Jens Konopka Sven Soff Henning Weber L. A. Winckelmann Joachim A. Maruhn Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

We study the thermodynamic properties of infinite nuclear matter with the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (URQMD), a semiclassical transport model, running in a box with periodic boundary conditions. It appears that the energy density rises faster than T4 at high temperatures of T approx. 200 - 300 MeV. This indicates an increase in the number of degrees of freedom. Moreover, We have calculated direct photon production in Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV/u within this model. The direct photon slope from the microscopic calculation equals that from a hydrodynamical calculation without a phase transition in the equation of state of the photon source.

Collective flow in heavy ion reactions and the properties of excited nuclear matter (1996)

Jens Konopka Steffen A. Bass Marcus Bleicher Mathias Brandstetter Christoph Ernst Lars Gerland Walter Greiner Sven Soff Christian Spieles Horst Stöcker Henning Weber L. A. Winckelmann

Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD) calculations of central collisions between heavy nuclei are used to study fragment production and the creation of collective flow. It is shown that the final phase space distributions are compatible with the expectations from a thermally equilibrated source, which in addition exhibits a collective transverse expansion. However, the microscopic analyses of the transient states in the intermediate reaction stages show that the event shapes are more complex and that equilibrium is reached only in very special cases but not in event samples which cover a wide range of impact parameters as it is the case in experiments. The basic features of a new molecular dynamics model (UQMD) for heavy ion collisions from the Fermi energy regime up to the highest presently available energies are outlined.

Signatures of dense hadronic matter in ultrarelativistic heavy ion reactions (1996)

L. A. Winckelmann Christoph Ernst Lars Gerland Jens Konopka Sven Soff Steffen A. Bass Marcus Bleicher Mathias Brandstetter Adrian Dumitru Christian Spieles Henning Weber Christoph Hartnack Jörg Aichelin N. Amelin Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

The behavior of hadronic matter at high baryon densities is studied within Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (URQMD). Baryonic stopping is observed for Au+Au collisions from SIS up to SPS energies. The excitation function of flow shows strong sensitivities to the underlying equation of state (EOS), allowing for systematic studies of the EOS. Dilepton spectra are calculated with and without shifting the rho pole. Except for S+Au collisions our calculations reproduce the CERES data.
