Compression Deformation Behavior and Processing Map of Pure Copper
To reveal compression deformation behavior of pure copper, the deformation characteristics of pure copper have been investigated by means of compression tests in the temperature range of 400–900°C and strain rate range of 0.001–1 s⁻¹. The results show that the flow stress of pure copper increases with increasing strain rate and decreasing deformation temperature, which is characterized by work-hardening, dynamic recovery, dynamic recrystallization, and secondary work-hardening, etc. The activation energy of hot deformation is associated with deformation temperature and strain rate, and the average activation energy is calculated to be 303.8 kJ/mol. The flow stress prediction model based on GA+BP possess, is in very good agreement with the true stress curve, which is of significance to the guidance of hot working of pure copper. The flow instability occurs in the intermediate strain rate region (0.01–0.1 s⁻¹) base on the analysis of processing map, the high power dissipation correspond to the dynamic recrystallization. Appropriate reducing the deformation temperature or increasing the strain rate is beneficial for the grain refinement in the steady-state region of the processing map
System Size and Energy Dependence of Jet-Induced Hadron Pair Correlation Shapes in Cu+Cu and Au+Au Collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 and 62.4 GeV
We present azimuthal angle correlations of intermediate transverse momentum
(1-4 GeV/c) hadrons from {dijets} in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) =
62.4 and 200 GeV. The away-side dijet induced azimuthal correlation is
broadened, non-Gaussian, and peaked away from \Delta\phi=\pi in central and
semi-central collisions in all the systems. The broadening and peak location
are found to depend upon the number of participants in the collision, but not
on the collision energy or beam nuclei. These results are consistent with sound
or shock wave models, but pose challenges to Cherenkov gluon radiation models.Comment: 464 authors from 60 institutions, 6 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables.

Scaling properties of azimuthal anisotropy in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV
Detailed differential measurements of the elliptic flow for particles
produced in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV are presented.
Predictions from perfect fluid hydrodynamics for the scaling of the elliptic
flow coefficient v_2 with eccentricity, system size and transverse energy are
tested and validated. For transverse kinetic energies KE_T ~ m_T-m up to ~1
GeV, scaling compatible with the hydrodynamic expansion of a thermalized fluid
is observed for all produced particles. For large values of KE_T, the mesons
and baryons scale separately. A universal scaling for the flow of both mesons
and baryons is observed for the full transverse kinetic energy range of the
data when quark number scaling is employed. In both cases the scaling is more
pronounced in terms of KE_T rather than transverse momentum.Comment: 422 authors from 58 institutions, 6 pages, 3 figures. Submitted to

Correlated Production of p and p^bar in Au+Au Collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV
Correlations between p and pbar's at transverse momenta typical of enhanced
baryon production in Au+Au collisions are reported. The PHENIX experiment
measures same and opposite sign baryon pairs in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)
= 200 GeV. Correlated production of p and p^bar with the trigger particle from
the range 2.5 < p_T < 4.0 GeV/c and the associated particle with 1.8 < p_T <
2.5 GeV/c is observed to be nearly independent of the centrality of the
collisions. Same sign pairs show no correlation at any centrality. The
conditional yield of mesons triggered by baryons (and anti-baryons) and mesons
in the same pT range rises with increasing centrality, except for the most
central collisions, where baryons show a significantly smaller number of
associated mesons. These data are consistent with a picture in which hard
scattered partons produce correlated p and p^bar in the p_T region of the
baryon excess.Comment: 420 authors from 58 institutions, 21 pages,5 figures. Submitted to
