Elliptic Flow of Rare High-Momentum Probes in Nuclear Collisions
W. Liu, R. J Fries
In high energy nuclear collisions the leading parton of a jet can change flavor through interactions with the surrounding medium. This can considerably boost the relative yield of…
Heavy Quark Production from Jet Conversions in a Quark-Gluon Plasma
W. Liu, R. J. Fries
Recently, it has been demonstrated that the chemical composition of jets in heavy ion collisions is significantly altered compared to jets in the vacuum. This signal can be used to…
Probing Nuclear Matter with Jet Conversions
W. Liu, R. J. Fries
We discuss the flavor of leading jet partons as a valuable probe of nuclear matter. We point out that the coupling of jets to nuclear matter naturally leads to an alteration of jet…
(2317) meson production at RHIC
L. W. Chen, C. M. Ko, W. Liu +1
Production of (2317) mesons in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC is studied. Using the quark coalescence model, we first determine the initial number of (23…
Effect of three-body elastic scattering on heavy quark momentum degradation in the quark-gluon plasma
W. Liu, C. M. Ko
Heavy quark drag coefficients in the quark-gluon plasma are evaluated in the perturbative QCD. It is found that for charm quarks the contribution from three-body elastic scattering…
Pentaquark baryon production in nuclear reactions
C. M. Ko, W. Liu
Using a hadronic model with empirical coupling constants and form factors, we have evaluated the cross sections for the production of exotic pentaquark and/or and $Ξ_…
