Abstract

Abstract We present numerical solutions in a one-dimensional setting of quantum master equations that have been recently derived. We focus on the dynamics of a single heavy quark-antiquark pair in a Quark-Gluon Plasma in thermal equilibrium, in the so-called quantum Brownian regime where the temperature of the plasma is large in comparison with the spacing between the energy levels of the Q Q ¯ $$ Q\overline{Q} $$ system. The one-dimensional potential used in the calculations has been adjusted so as to produce numbers that are relevant for the phenomenology of the charmonium. The equations are solved using different initial states and medium configurations. Various temperature regimes are studied and the effects of screening and collisions thoroughly analyzed. Technical features of the equations are analyzed. The contributions of the different operators that control the evolution are discussed as a function of the temperature. Some phenomenological consequences are addressed.

Subjects

Abstract

It is the central goal of our studies to describe parton fragmentation in the hot and dense medium of a quark gluon plasma (QGP). Under the assumption that the medium is not static and homogeneous, knowledge about the temporal evolution of the processes involved can be of essential importance. Therefore, parton fragmentation has been studied with a Monte-Carlo algorithm that approximates the DGLAP-evolution of fragmentation functions via a set of parton cascades. The presented work consists mainly of implementations of this kind of algorithm and the application of a simple approximation, which gives the time development of partonic cascades. As approximations to the parton-splitting processes of gluons and massless quarks in the vacuum two different schemes with the same leading-log contributions are investigated. Furthermore, the temporal evolutions of quantities related to partonic cascades have been examined: To our understanding, especially variables (like, e.g.: parton multiplicities or virtualities) that give insight, when parton splittings take place, are of great interest, as they allow identifying the parts of the fragmentation process that will be most affected by medium interactions., Comment: part of the proceedings of the EPS-HEP 2015 conference in Vienna, 6 pages

Abstract

We investigate the real-time dynamics of a correlated heavy quarkantiquark pair inside the Quark-Gluon Plasma using new quantum master equations derived from first QCD principles and based on the work of Blaizot & Escobedo [4]. The full equations are directly numerically solved in one-dimension to reduce computing costs and is used to gain insight on the dynamics in both a static and evolving medium following a Björken-like temperature evolution. The effect of the initial state on the dynamics is also studied.

Abstract

In recent years, a significant theoretical effort has been made towards a dynamical description of quarkonia inside the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), using the open quantum systems formalism. In this framework, one can get a real-time description of a quantum system (here the quarkonium) in interaction with a thermal bath (the QGP) by integrating out the bath degrees of freedom and studying the system reduced density matrix. We investigate the real-time dynamics of a correlated heavy quark-antiquark pair inside the QGP using a quantum master equation previously derived from first QCD principles in [4]. The full equation is directly resolved in 1D to lessen computing costs and is used for the first time to gain insight on the dynamics in both a static and evolving medium following a Björken-like temperature evolution.

Abstract

The energy-loss of hard probes within the hot and dense medium of a quark gluon plasma (QGP) can be described by theoretical models based on radiative energy loss as well as combinations of collisional and radiative energy loss. In a search for observables that allow to disentangle these energy-loss mechanisms, we introduced a set of effective models that allows to investigate the consequences on jets of both types of jet-medium interactions within a consistent framework. We particularly studied angular jet-broadening via angular two-particle correlations. Distinguishing contributions from pairs at different scales of particle momenta, we found qualitative differences between radiative and collisional approaches., Comment: proceedings for a seminar talk at the "Hard Probes 2018" conference in Aix Les Bains, 4 pages, 1 figure

Abstract

International audience; Energy-loss studies of hard particle probes produced in heavy ion collisions have often been used to get information on the interactions within the medium of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). However, with the study of in-medium energy-loss of individual particles alone, it remains still ambiguous, whether the occured decrease in particle energy is caused by predominantly radiative or collisional energy-loss mechanisms. Focusing on the in-medium energy-loss of hard jet-partons, we propose additional studies of the angular jet-structure as a means to further constrain the energy-loss mechanisms.

Abstract

International audience; Understanding the energy loss of strongly interacting particles is of utmost importance for studying the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This very hot and dense state of matter is created during heavy-ion collisions, like the ones performed at the LHC. As the lifetime of the QGP is very brief, special probes are necessary to study it. One of them consists in focusing on the energy loss of energetic quarks or gluons (so-called partons) created in the early stages of the collision. These partons go through the QGP and are sensitive to all its development. One can then compare the energy spectrum of this kind of particles after going through the QGP or after going through usual nuclei and learn features of the QGP by comparison. For this it is important to master theoretically the energy loss of these partons. A particle can loose energy either by collisional processes (diffusion in the medium) or by radiative mechanisms (bremsstrahlung). The emission of a gluon takes a certain amount of time called the formation time. In the medium, this time can be longer than the mean free path of the particle leading to the LPM effect and a modification of the emission spectrum. But what if during its formation the gluon emits other gluons in turn. One phenomenological way to deal with this effect is to associate a damping rate to the first emitted gluon, and then investigate the consequences on its parent parton energy loss. In this presentation, we use the formalism developed in [6] to study the in-medium radiation by energetic quarks or gluons. In this formalism the propagation of a parton and its elastic scatterings with the medium is driven by a two-point correlator of the gluon field in the medium. We examine the modification of the two-point correlator for collisions that are accompanied by bremsstrahlung gluons that are sufficiently soft so as to be formed before the next interaction, and study whether this leads to a damping scenario.

Abstract

Taking advantage of recent technical progress which has overcome some of the difficulties encountered in the 1960's in the radio detection of extensive air showers induced by ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR), a new experimental apparatus (CODALEMA) has been built and operated. We will present the characteristics of this device and the analysis techniques that have been developed for observing electrical transients associated with cosmic rays. We find a collection of events for which both time and arrival direction coincidences between particle and radio signals are observed. The counting rate corresponds to shower energies $\geq 5\times 10^{16}$ eV. The performance level which has been reached considerably enlarges the perspectives for studying UHECR events using radio detection., merge of astro-ph/0504240 and astro-ph/0504297 into one paper

Abstract

We perform a QCD analysis of exclusive two-meson production in gamma* gamma collisions in the kinematical domain of large photon virtuality Q^2 and small hadronic invariant mass W^2. In these kinematics the amplitude factorizes into a perturbative subprocess gamma* gamma -> q qbar and a two-meson distribution amplitude. This opens the way to study new hadronic matrix elements related with the physics of hadronization and confinement.

Abstract

Exclusive two-pion production near threshold in the collision of a highly virtual photon with a real one offers a new possibility to unravel the partonic content of hadrons. We explain the dynamics of this regime, i.e. the separation of the amplitude in terms of partonic diagrams computable in QCD perturbation theory and generalized distribution amplitudes, which are nonperturbative functions describing the exclusive transition of a parton pair into two hadrons. The same quantities also appear in gamma* N -> pi pi N in the kinematical regime where the momentum transfer of the nucleon and the invariant mass of the pion pair are both small; this allows to extend the QCD analysis of exclusive rho electroproduction outside the resonance region of the two produced pions.

Abstract

Employing scalar QCD we study the gluon emission of heavy quarks created by the interaction with light quarks considered as dynamical scattering centers. We develop approximation formulas for the high-energy limit and study when the full calculation reaches this high-energy limit. For zero quark masses and in the high-energy limit our model reproduces the Gunion-Bertsch results. We justify why scalar QCD represents a good approximation to the full QCD approach for the energy loss of heavy quarks. In the regime of accessible phenomenology we observe that the emission at small transverse momentum (dead cone effect) is less suppressed than originally suggested. We also investigate the influence of a finite gluon mass on the discussed results.

Abstract

The new setup of the CODALEMA experiment installed at the Radio Observatory in Nancay, France, is described. It includes broadband active dipole antennas and an extended and upgraded particle detector array. The latter gives access to the air shower energy, allowing us to compute the efficiency of the radio array as a function of energy. We also observe a large asymmetry in counting rates between showers coming from the North and the South in spite of the symmetry of the detector. The observed asymmetry can be interpreted as a signature of the geomagnetic origin of the air shower radio emission. A simple linear dependence of the electric field with respect to vxB is used which reproduces the angular dependencies of the number of radio events and their electric polarity., Comment: 9 pages, 15 figures, 1 table

Abstract

We discuss electric fields generated by cosmic-ray air showers at large impact parameters b. An approximation relevant to this situation is given. The formulation makes explicit the relationship between the shower profile and the radio pulse shapes at large b, putting forward one important observational consequence, namely the decrease of the high-frequency cutoff ν c ∝ 1 / b 2 when the impact parameter increases. The approximation is also used to give a detailed comparison between two emission models, the geosynchrotron model and the transverse current model.

Abstract

Cosmic rays extensive air showers (EAS) are associated with transient radio emission, which could provide an efficient new detection method of high energy cosmic rays, combining a calorimetric measurement with a high duty cycle. The CODALEMA experiment, installed at the Radio Observatory in Nancay, France, is investigating this phenomenon in the 10^17 eV region. One challenging point is the understanding of the radio emission mechanism. A first observation indicating a linear relation between the electric field produced and the cross product of the shower axis with the geomagnetic field direction has been presented (B. Revenu, this conference). We will present here other strong evidences for this linear relationship, and some hints on its physical origin., Comment: Contribution to the 31st International Cosmic Ray Conference, Lodz, Poland, July 2009. 4 pages, 8 figures. v2: Typo fixed, arxiv references added

Abstract

We study the energy loss of an energetic heavy quark produced in a high temperature quark-gluon plasma and travelling a finite distance before emerging in the vacuum. While the retardation time of purely collisional energy loss is found to be of the order of the Debye screening length, we find that the contributions from transition radiation and the Ter-Mikayelian effect do not compensate, leading to a reduction of the zeroth order (in an opacity expansion) energy loss., QM2006 Proceedings; caption of fig 1 and ref [7] modified in v2

Abstract

Based on a new approach to the detection of radio transients associated with extensive air showers induced by ultra high energy cosmic rays, the experimental apparatus CODALEMA is in operation, measuring about 1 event per day corresponding to an energy threshold ~ 5. 10^16 eV. Its performance makes possible for the first time the study of radio-signal features on an event-by-event basis. The sampling of the magnitude of the electric field along a 600 meters axis is analyzed. It shows that the electric field lateral spread is around 250 m (FWHM). The possibility to determine with radio both arrival directions and shower core positions is discussed., Accepted for publication in Astroparticle Physics

Abstract

We study the collisional energy loss suffered by an energetic parton travelling the distance L in a high temperature quark-gluon plasma and initially produced in the medium. We find that the medium-induced collisional loss -Delta E(L) is strongly suppressed compared to previous estimates which assumed the collisional energy loss rate -dE/dx to be constant. The large L linear asymptotic behaviour of -Delta E(L) sets in only after a quite large retardation time. The suppression of -Delta E(L) is partly due to the fact that gluon bremsstrahlung arising from the initial acceleration of the energetic parton is reduced in the medium compared to vacuum. The latter radiation spectrum is sensitive to the plasmon modes of the quark-gluon plasma and has a rich angular structure., 19 pages, 4 figures. Substantial changes have been made in version 2, especially in section 3. In particular, in section 3.2 the dependence on a spurious ultraviolet cut-off has been removed. As a consequence numerical results are quantitatively modified, but the retardation effect is qualitatively unchanged. The physical origin of the largeness of the retardation time is also emphasized, and two Appendices have been added

Abstract

International audience; We present the characteristics and performance of a demonstration experiment devoted to the observation of ultra high- energy cosmic ray extensive air showers using a radiodetection technique. In a first step, one antenna narrowed band filtered acting as trigger, with a 4 sigma threshold above sky background-level, was used to tag any radio transient in coincidence on the antenna array. Recently, the addition of 4 particle detectors has allowed us to observe cosmic ray events in coincidence with antennas.

Abstract

The electric field induced by extensive air showers generated by high energy cosmic rays is considered and, more specifically, its dependence on the shower incident angle. It is shown that for distances between the shower axis and the observation point larger than a few hundred meters, non-vertical showers produce larger fields than vertical ones. This may open up new prospects since, to some extent, the consideration of non-vertical showers modifies the scope of the radio-detection domain., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures

Abstract

We compute the total cross section of a heavy quarkonium on a hadron target in leading twist QCD, including target mass corrections. Our method relies on the analytical continuation of the operator product expansion of the scattering amplitude, obtained long ago by Bhanot and Peskin. The cross section has a simple partonic form, which allows us to investigate the phenomenology of J/psi and Upsilon dissociation by both pions and protons., 21 pages, 4 figures, REVTeX4.

Abstract

We perform a QCD analysis of the exclusive production of two mesons in ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\gamma}}}^{\mathrm{*}}$\ensuremath{\gamma} collisions in the kinematical domain of large photon virtuality Q and small hadronic invariant mass W. This reaction is dominated by a scale invariant mechanism which factorizes into a perturbative subprocess ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{*}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}q\overline{q}$ or ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{*}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}\mathrm{gg}$ and a generalized two-meson distribution amplitude. We develop in detail the phenomenology of this process at ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ colliders. Using a simple model for the two-pion distribution amplitude, based on its general properties, we estimate the cross section for the kinematics accessible at BABAR, BELLE, CLEO, and CERN LEP.

Abstract

The new high precision data on charmonium production in proton-nucleus collisions by the E866/NuSea collaboration at Fermilab allow - together with older data at lower energies - to fix a unique set of parameters for the standard production and absorption scenario of charmonium in a proton-nucleus reaction. In this scenario the c-cbar pair is formed in an octet state, emits a gluon and continues its radial expansion in a singlet state until it has reached the charmonium radius. In all three phases it can interact with the nuclear environment. We find that the lifetime of the octet state is much shorter than acceptable on physical grounds. This challenges the physical reality of the first phase in the standard scenario., Comment: 8 pages, 10 figures

Abstract

We show that the leading twist contribution to exclusive electroproduction of transversely polarized vector mesons vanishes at all orders in perturbation theory. Therefore one cannot extract information on the quark transversity distribution of the nucleon from this reaction. In turn one has that the produced vector meson is purely longitudinal in the large-Q^2 limit, which provides a new test of the dominance of leading twist at finite Q^2., Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures

Abstract

Heavy quarks are one of the key tools to study the properties of the expanding plasma created in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. In this context we develop a framework to study the Qq → Qqg collsions in scalar QCD and provide the results for different key quantities. We investigate the radiative energy loss and compare the results to the the collisional energy loss. We conclude that radiative and collisional energy loss together allow for a description of the recently published ALICE data.

Abstract

We study a new mechanism for hadronic helicity flip in high energy hard exclusive reactions. The mechanism proceeds in the limit of perfect chiral symmetry, namely without any need to flip a quark helicity. The fundamental feature of the new mechanism is the breaking of rotational symmetry of the hard collision by a scattering plane in processes involving independent quark scattering. We show that in the impulse approximation there is no evidence for of the helicity violating process as the energy or momentum transfer $Q^2$ is increased over the region 1 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 100 GeV^2. In the asymptotic region Q^2> 1000 GeV^2, a saddle point approximation with doubly logarithmic accuracy yields suppression by a fraction of power of Q^2. ``Chirally--odd" exclusive wave functions which carry non--zero orbital angular momentum and yet are leading order in the high energy limit, play an important role., uuencoded LaTeX file (21 pages) and PostScript figures

Abstract

In an absorptive plasma, damping of radiation mechanisms can influence the bremsstrahlung formation in case of large radiation formation lengths. We study qualitatively the influence of this effect on the gluon bremsstrahlung spectrum off heavy quarks in the quark-gluon plasma. Independent of the heavy-quark mass, the spectrum is found to be strongly suppressed in an intermediate gluon energy region which grows with increasing gluon damping rate and increasing energy of the heavy quark. Thus, just as polarization effects in the plasma render the bremsstrahlung spectra independent of the quark mass in the soft gluon regime, damping effects tend to have a similar impact for larger gluon energies.
