Momentum correlation of light nuclei in Au + Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.0 $\sim$ 7.7 GeV

Abstract

Within the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (UrQMD) coupled with nucleon coalescence model and Mini-Spanning-Tree model, the yields of light nuclei have been stimulated in Au + Au collisions over an energy range of \(\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.0\sim7.7\ \rm{GeV}\) and the momentum correlation functions of light nuclei pairs have been calculated by both the Lednický-Lyuboshitz and the Correlation After Burner methods. We compare the yields of light nuclei and their momentum correlation functions at midrapidity in this energy region with experimental data. It is found that there are differences between the results of the two models, and the coalescence method seems less valid at low collision energy. Furthermore, both the peak values of proton-proton correlation functions and the transition point of elliptic flows from out-of-plane to in-plane emission show a turning point around 3-4 GeV, which suggests that there is a relation between momentum correlation function and collective flow of particles.
