The Spectrum of Low- $p_{T}$ $J / ψ$ in Heavy-Ion Collisions in a Statistical Two-Body Fractal Model

Abstract

We establish a statistical two-body fractal (STF) model to study the spectrum of $J / ψ$ . $J / ψ$ serves as a reliable probe in heavy-ion collisions. The distribution of $J / ψ$ in hadron gas is influenced by flow, quantum and strong interaction effects. Previous models have predominantly focused on one or two of these effects while neglecting the others, resulting in the inclusion of unconsidered effects in the fitted parameters. Here, we study the issue from a new point of view by analyzing the fact that all three effects induce a self-similarity structure, involving a $J / ψ$ - $π$ two-meson state and a $J / ψ$ , $π$ two-quark state, respectively. We introduce modification factor $q_{T B S}$ and $q_{2}$ into the probability and entropy of charmonium. $q_{T B S}$ denotes the modification of self-similarity on $J / ψ$ , $q_{2}$ denotes that of self-similarity and strong interaction between \emph{c }and $c ˉ$ on quarks. By solving the probability and entropy equations, we derive the values of $q_{T B S}$ and $q_{2}$ at various collision energies and centralities. Substituting the value of $q_{T B S}$ into distribution function, we successfully obtain the transverse momentum spectrum of low- $p_{T}$ $J / ψ$ , which demonstrates good agreement with experimental data. The STF model can be employed to investigate other mesons and resonance states.
