Comparative study for non-statistical fluctuation of net- proton,baryon, and charge multiplicities

Dai-Mei Zhou, Zeng-Zeng Luo, Yun cheng +5

We calculate the real and non-statistical higher moment excitation functions ( = 11.5 to 200 GeV) for the net-proton, net-baryon, and the net-charge number event dis…

Jet probes of QCD matter: single jets and dijets in heavy-ion collisions

Ben-Wei Zhang, Yuncun He, Enke Wang

Modifications of jets in the existence of a hot and dense QCD medium have recently attracted a lot of attentions. In this talk, we demonstrate how jet-medium interactions change th…

Measurement of anisotropic radial flow in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Lin Li, Na Li, Yuanfang Wu

We suggest the azimuthal distribution of mean transverse (radial) rapidity of the final state particles as a more direct measure of the transverse motion of the source than the sta…

Velocity Dependence of Charmonium Dissociation Temperature in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions

Yunpeng Liu, Nu Xu, Pengfei Zhuang

In high-energy nuclear collisions, heavy quark potential at finite temperature controls the quarkonium production. Including the relaxation of the medium induced by the relative ve…

Suppression of high hadron spectra in collisions

Rong Xu, Wei-Tian Deng, Xin-Nian Wang

Multiple hard and semi-hard parton scatterings in high-energy collisions involve multi-parton correlation in both momentum and flavor inside the projectile proton which will…

Probing nuclear matter with jets

Ben-Wei Zhang, Yuncun He, R. B. Neufeld +2

Jet physics in relativistic heavy ion collisions, which combines perturbative QCD jet production with quark and gluon energy loss and in-medium parton shower modification, has emer…

PACIAE 2.1: An updated issue of the parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE 2.0

Ben-Hao Sa, Dai-Mei Zhou, Yu-Liang Yan +2

We have updated the parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE 2.0 for relativistic nuclear collisions (cf. Comput. Phys. Comm. 183(2012)333) to the new issue of PACIAE 2.1. The PACIAE…
