Charged multiplicity density and number of participant nucleons in relativistic nuclear collisions
The energy and centrality dependences of charged particle pseudorapidity
density in relativistic nuclear collisions were studied using a hadron and
string cascade model, JPCIAE. Both the relativistic experimental
data and the PHOBOS and PHENIX data at RHIC energy could be fairly
reproduced within the framework of JPCIAE model and without retuning the model
parameters. The predictions for collisions at the LHC energy were also
given. We computed the participant nucleon distributions using different
methods. It was found that the number of participant nucleons is not a well
defined variable both experimentally and theoretically. Thus it may be
inappropriate to use the charged particle pseudorapidity density per
participant pair as a function of the number of participant nucleons for
distinguishing various theoretical models. A discussion for the effect of
different definitions in nuclear radius (diffused or sharp) was given.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figure
Net charge fluctuation and string fragmentation
We present simulation results of net charge fluctuation in collisions
at =130 GeV from a dynamic model, JPCIAE. The calculations are
done for the quark-gluon phase before hadronization, the pion gas, the
resonance pion gas from and decays and so on. The simulations
of the charge fluctuation show that the discrepancy exists between the dynamic
model and the thermal model for a pion gas and a resonance pion gas from
and decays while the simulated charge fluctuation of the quark-gluon
phase is close to the thermal model prediction. JPCIAE results of net charge
fluctuation in the hardonic phase are nearly 4-5 times larger than one for the
quark-gluon phase, which implies that the charge fluctuation in the quark-gluon
phase may not survive the hadronization (string fragmentation) as implemented
in JPCIAE.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
Light anti-nuclei production in pp collisions at =7 and 14 TeV
A dynamically constrained coalescence model based on the phase space
quantization and classical limit method was proposed to investigate the
production of light nuclei (anti-nuclei) in non-single diffractive (NSD) pp
collisions at =7 and 14 TeV. This calculation was based on the final
hadronic state in the PYTHIA and PACIAE model simulations, the event sample
consisted of 1.2 events in both simulations. The PACIAE model
calculated yield of 6.247 in NSD pp collisions at
=7 TeV is well comparing with the ALICE rough datum of 5.456. It indicated the reliability of proposed method in some extent. The
yield, transverse momentum distribution, and rapidity distribution of the , , and in NSD pp collisions at
=7 and 14 TeV were predicted by PACIAE and PYTHIA model simulations.
The yield resulted from PACIAE model simulations is larger than the one from
PYTHIA model. This might reflect the role played by the parton and hadron
rescatterings.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Systematic study of elliptic flow parameter in the relativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC energies
We employed the new issue of a parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE 2.1 to
systematically investigate the charged particle elliptic flow parameter
in the relativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. With randomly
sampling the transverse momentum and components of the particles
generated in string fragmentation on the circumference of an ellipse instead of
circle originally, the calculated charged particle and
fairly reproduce the corresponding experimental data in the Au+Au/Pb+Pb
collisions at =0.2/2.76 TeV. In addition, the charged particle
and in the p+p collisions at =7 TeV as well as
in the p+Au/p+Pb collisions at =0.2/5.02 TeV are predicted.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
