Advanced mathematical on-line analysis in nuclear experiments. Usage of parallel computing CUDA routines in standard root analysis

Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) is a parallel computing platform developed by NVIDIA for increase speed of graphics by usage of parallel mode for processes calculation. The success of this solution has opened technology General-Purpose Graphic Processor Units (GPGPUs) for applications not coupled with graphics. The GPGPUs system can be applying as effective tool for reducing huge number of data for pulse shape analysis measures, by on-line recalculation or by very quick system of compression. The simplified structure of CUDA system and model of programming based on example NVIDIA GForce GTX580 card are presented by our poster contribution in stand-Alone version and as ROOT application

ΔE-E detector system for searching long-lived heaviest nuclei deposited in scintillators

ZhengWe present a dedicated experimental setup that has been built in Institute of Physics of the Jagiel- lonian University and is currently used to search long lived super heavy elements (LLSHE) that could be produced in the reaction between heavy ions and then deposited in the active catcher (AC) scintillation material. The collisions between heavy nuclei 197Au (7.5 A.MeV) and 232Th have been performed during our experiment at the Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M in 2015. An innovative ap- paratus, which consists of ΔE-E detectors, enables the registration and identification of spontaneous decays ( or fission - SF) of heavy products, which were deposited in the scintillation material of the AC. Unique feature of the apparatus is that the AC scintillators are at the same time ΔE part of each of ΔE-E detector. The other part, E part, is a silicon detector. This construction largely elimi- nates background events in the region where alpha particles emitted by decaying reaction products are expected. Our measurements should be sensitive to search for super heavy elements (SHE) which could be deposited in irradiated scintillators and which have lifetimes of a year till over a dozen of years. Some results of the continuous measurement that already lasts 1.5 year will be shown

Recent results from NA61/SHINE

The research programme of the NA61 Collaboration covers a wide range of hadronic physics in the CERN SPS energy range, encompassing measurements of hadron–hadron, hadron–nucleus as well as nucleus–nucleus collisions. The latter are analysed to better understand the properties of hot and dense nuclear matter. In this paper, recent results of particle production properties as well as event-by-event fluctuations in proton–proton, as signatures of the critical point of strongly interacting matter, in Be+Be and Ar+Sc interactions at beam energies of 19A/20A, 30A, 40A, 75A/80A and 158A GeV/c are presented

Ren, Y. K. Wang, S. Q. Zhang, J. Meng, J. B. NatowitzExclusive measurements for α and α conjugate exit channels are carried out for 35 MeV/nucleon 28Si induced reactions. Systematic analyses of these channels reveal high energy resonance structures in 7 de-excitation channels. The resonances are compared with results of several recent theoretical calculations for toroidal high-spin isomers. The possible underlying physics of these observations are discussed

Particle production properties at SPS energy range - recent results from the NA61/SHINE experiment

One of the main physics goals of the NA61/SHINE programme on strong interactions is the study of the properties of the onset of deconfinement. This goal is pursued by performing an energy- (beam momentum 13A–158A GeV/c) and system-size (p+p, p+Pb, Be+Be, Ar+Sc, Xe+La) scan. In particular, recent inclusive spectra of identified hadrons in inelastic p+p and centrality selected Be+Be and Ar+Sc interactions at the SPS energies. The energy dependence of quantities inspired by the Statistical Model of the Early Stage (kink, horn and step) are shown

Wickremasinghe, O. Wyszyński, A. Zaitsev, E. D. Zimmerman, R. ZwaskaMeasurements of multiplicity fluctuations of identified hadrons produced in inelastic p+p interactions at 31, 40, 80, and 158 GeV/c beam momentum are presented. Three different measures of multiplicity fluctuations are used: the scaled variance ω and strongly intensive measures and . These fluctuation measures involve second and first moments of joint multiplicity distributions. Data analysis is preformed using the Identity method which corrects for incomplete particle identification. Strongly intensive quantities are calculated in order to allowfor a direct comparison to corresponding results on nucleus–nucleus collisions. The results for different hadron types are shown as a function of collision energy. A comparison with predictions of stringresonance Monte-Carlo models: Epos, Smash and Venus, is also presented

Zaitsev, E. D. Zimmerman, R. ZwaskaThe physics goal of the strong interaction program of the NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is to study the phase diagram of hadronic matter by a scan of particle production in collisions of nuclei with various sizes at a set of energies covering the SPS energy range. This paper presents differential inclusive spectra of transverse momentum, transverse mass and rapidity of π − mesons produced in central 40Ar+45Sc collisions at beam momenta of 13A, 19A, 30A, 40A, 75A and 150A GeV/c. Energy and system size dependence of parameters of these distributions –mean transversemass, the inverse slope parameter of transverse mass spectra, width of the rapidity distribution and mean multiplicity – are presented and discussed. Furthermore, the dependence of the ratio of the mean number of produced pions to the mean number of wounded nucleons on the collision energy was derived. The results are compared to predictions of several models

ZwaskaThe production cross section of 30.92  GeV/c protons on carbon is measured by the NA61/SHINE spectrometer at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron by means of beam attenuation in a copy (replica) of the 90-cm-long target of the T2K neutrino oscillation experiment. The employed method for direct production cross-section estimation minimizes model corrections for elastic and quasielastic interactions. The obtained production cross section is σprod=227.6±0.8(stat)+1.9−3.2(sys)−0.8(mod)  mb. It is in agreement with previous NA61/SHINE results obtained with a thin carbon target, while providing improved precision with a total fractional uncertainty of less than 2%. This direct measurement will reduce the uncertainty of the T2K neutrino flux prediction

ZwaskaThe NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) studies the onset of deconfinement in hadron matter by a scan of particle production in collisions of nuclei with various sizes at a set of energies covering the SPS energy range. This paper presents results on inclusive double-differential spectra, transverse momentum and rapidity distributions and mean multiplicities of π ±, K±, p and ¯ p produced in the 20% most central 7Be+9Be collisions at beam momenta of 19A, 30A, 40A, 75A and 150A GeV/c. The energy dependence of the K±/π ± ratios as well as of inverse slope parameters of the K± transverse mass distributions are close to those found in inelastic p+p reactions. The new results are compared to the world data on p+p and Pb+Pb collisions as well as to predictions of the Epos, Urqmd, Ampt, Phsd and Smash models
