Condensed Matter - Statistical Mechanics - Abstract
The majority-vote model with noise on random graphs has been studied. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to characterize the order-disorder phase transition appearing in the system. We found that the value of the critical noise parameter is an increasing function of the mean connectivity of the random graph. The critical exponents beta/nu, gamma/nu and 1/nu were calculated for several values of z, and our analysis yielded critical exponents satisfying the hyperscaling relation with effective dimensionality equal to unity., Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures

The E895 Collaboration has investigated a number of mixed-particle correlations involving neutral strange particles (K0s and Λ) in 2, 4, 6 and 8 A GeV Au + Au collisions at the AGS. The first measurements for pΛ correlations indicate a correlation magnitude of about 50% with a 26 MeV width. Detailed comparisons between data and theory suggest an emitting source with an effective Gaussian radius close to 4.5 fm. This radius is much larger than the value of 2.8 fm predicted by the relativistic transport code ART. Pairs of pK0, π−Λ and π−K0 are found to display essentially zero correlation at 6 A GeV. The latter observations are not unexpected considering that the proton–K0 interaction has a very small scattering length and there are no very well known interactions between pions and Λs or K0s.

We present the first measurement of fluctuations from event to event in the production of strange particles in collisions of heavy nuclei. The ratio of charged kaons to charged pions is determined for individual central Pb+Pb collisions. After accounting for the fluctuations due to detector resolution and finite number statistics we derive an upper limit on genuine nonstatistical fluctuations, which could be related to a first- or second-order QCD phase transition. Such fluctuations are shown to be very small.

Transverse and radial flow measurements are presented for Λ hyperons along with Λ-P correlations from Au + Au collisions at AGS energies. The flow measurements are compared with those of co-produced protons. The measurements indicate that Λ hyperons flow consistently in the same direction as protons but with a smaller magnitude for all beam energies. Comparisons with RQMD calculations show that the experimentally determined Λ sideward flow is consistently larger compared with the calculated value obtained from scattering processes only. The experimental transverse flow ratio Λ/P is consistent with predictions ( 2/3) of the quark counting rule at 2 A GeV but is found to decrease with increasing beam energy. These observations may be related to the detailed features of the Λ-nucleon potential for the nuclear densities produced. At 6 A GeV, Λp correlation functions are observed to be essentially flat (within statistical uncertainty), indicating little or no correlation between Λs and co-produced protons. This suggests that Λs may have a spacetime emission pattern which is different from that for protons. Further evidence from radial flow measurements also indicates that 6 A GeV Λ hyperons (at mid-rapidity) do not share the same emitting source characteristics as co-produced protons.

Results on two-particle correlations, deuteron production, event anisotropy and event-by-event fluctuations of 〈 p T 〉 and K/π were obtained by the NA49 experiment in Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A·GeV beam energy. The interpretation of the measurements is discussed in light of the search for deconfinement.

Elliptic flow from nuclear collisions is a hadronic observable sensitive to the early stages of system evolution. We report first results on elliptic flow of charged particles at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at √(sNN) = 130 GeV using the STAR Time Projection Chamber at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The elliptic flow signal, v₂, averaged over transverse momentum, reaches values of about 6% for relatively peripheral collisions and decreases for the more central collisions. This can be interpreted as the observation of a higher degree of thermalization than at lower collision energies. Pseudorapidity and transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow are also presented.

Yields and phase space distributions of φ -mesons emitted from p+p (minimum bias trigger), p+Pb (at various centralities) and central Pb+Pb collisions are reported ( E beam =158 A GeV). The decay φ →K + K − was used for identification. The φ / π ratio is found to increase by a factor of 3.0±0.7 from inelastic p+p to central Pb+Pb. Significant enhancement in this ratio is also observed in subclasses of p+p events (characterized by high charged-particle multiplicity) as well as in the forward hemisphere of central p+Pb collisions. In Pb+Pb no shift or significant broadening of the φ -peak is seen.

We have measured the sideward flow of neutral strange (K{sup 0}{sub s} ) mesons in 6A GeV Au +Au collisions. A prominent antiflow signal is observed for an impact parameter range (b(less-or-similar sign)7 fm ) which spans central and midcentral events. Since the K{sup 0}{sub s} scattering cross section is relatively small in nuclear matter, this observation suggests that the in-medium kaon vector potential plays an important role in high density nuclear matter.

Experimental results on deuteron emission from central Pb+Pb collisions ( E beam =158A GeV, fixed target), obtained by NA49 at the CERN SPS accelerator, are presented. The transverse mass m t distribution was measured near mid-rapidity (2.0 y m t − m 0 c 2 (0 p t c ) for the 4% most central collisions. An exponential fit gives an inverse slope T d =(450±30) MeV and a yield dN d / dy =0.34±0.03. The coalescence factor B 2 ( m t = m 0 )=(3.5±1.0)·10 −4 GeV 2 and its m t -dependence are determined and discussed in terms of a model that includes the collective expansion of the source created in a collision. The derived Gaussian size parameter R G of the emission volume is consistent with earlier HBT results on the source of pion emission.

Using the large acceptance Time Projection Chamber of experiment E895 at Brookhaven, measurements of collective sideward flow in Au+Au collisions at beam energies of 2A, 4A, 6A, and 8A GeV are presented in the form of in-plane transverse momentum and the first Fourier coefficient of azimuthal anisotropy v(1). These measurements indicate a smooth variation of sideward flow as a function of beam energy. The data are compared with four nuclear transport models which have an orientation towards this energy range. All four exhibit some qualitative trends similar to those found in the data, although none show a consistent pattern of agreement within experimental uncertainties.

We present the first excitation function of ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ intensity interferometry at Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) energies (2--8 A GeV). The sensitivity of the multidimensional correlation functions to the geometry and dynamics of the pion-emitting system provides a stringent test of transport models of heavy ion collisions. Detailed comparisons with a realistic transport model, both with and without an explicit nuclear mean field, suggest that the beam energy evolution in the reaction dynamics is different in the model than in the data. A significantly increased ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ emission time scale, which has been suggested as a signal of the onset of the transition to quark-gluon plasma, is not observed.

With its large acceptance and particle identification coverage the NA49 experiment (Fig. 1) can study hadron production in a wide range of high energy reactions [1]. Originally aimed at examining central Pb+Pb collisions for signatures of quark-gluon plasma formation, the scope of the experiment has been enhanced with a systematic study of impact parameter and projectile size dependence, as well as the inclusion of the more elementary p+p and p+A interactions. The question is: are predicted signals of the quark-gluon plasma observed and are there discontinuities which would support the concept of hadronic phase transition?

We have measured the proton elliptic flow excitation function for the Au + Au system spanning the beam energy range 2 -- 8 AGeV. The excitation function shows a transition from negative to positive elliptic flow at a beam energy, $E_{tr} \sim$ 4 AGeV. Detailed comparisons with calculations from a relativistic Boltzmann-equation are presented. The comparisons suggest a softening of the nuclear equation of state (EOS) from a stiff form (K \sim 380 MeV) at low beam energies (E_{Beam} \le 2 AGeV) to a softer form (K \sim 210 MeV) at higher energies (E_{Beam} \ge $ 4 AGeV) where the calculated baryon density $ \rho \sim 4 \rho_0$.

Net proton and negative hadron spectra for central Pb+Pb collisions at 158thinspthinspGeV per nucleon at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron were measured and compared to spectra from lighter systems. Net baryon distributions were derived from those of net protons. Stopping (rapidity shift with respect to the beam) and mean transverse momentum {l_angle}p{sub T}{r_angle} of net baryons increase with system size. The rapidity density of negative hadrons scales with the number of participant nucleons for nuclear collisions, whereas their {l_angle}p{sub T}{r_angle} is independent of system size. The {l_angle}p{sub T}{r_angle} dependence upon particle mass and system size is consistent with larger transverse flow velocity at midrapidity for Pb+Pb compared to S+S central collisions. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}

A sample of Lambda's produced in 2 A*GeV Ni + Cu collisions has been obtained with the EOS Time Projection Chamber at the Bevalac. Low background in the invariant mass distribution allows for the unambiguous demonstration of Lambda directed flow. The transverse mass spectrum at mid-rapidity has the characteristic shoulder-arm shape of particles undergoing radial transverse expansion. A linear dependence of Lambda multiplicity on impact parameter is observed, from which a total Lambda + Sigma^0 production cross section of $112 +/- 24 mb is deduced. Detailed comparisons with the ARC and RVUU models are made.

The composition of forward-going projectile spectator matter in fixed-target Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A · GeV at the CERN SPS has been studied as a function of centrality. The data were measured with the NA49 veto calorimeter. We observe that forward-going spectator matter in central collisions consists of 9 neutrons, 7 protons, and half a deuteron on average. At large impact parameters most spectator nucleons are bound in fragments. The relative resolution of the average impact parameter derived from the measurement of spectator neutrons is roughly 19% in the range from zero to half maximum impact parameters.

The directed and elliptic flow of protons and charged pions has been observed from the semi-central collisions of a 158 GeV/nucleon Pb beam with a Pb target. The rapidity and transverse momentum dependence of the flow has been measured. The directed flow of the pions is opposite to that of the protons at high rapidity but both exhibit negative flow at low p t . The elliptic flow of both is fairly independent of rapidity but rises with p t .

Transverse kinetic energies of individual fragments have been measured over a broad range of emitter excitation energies for the reaction 1AGeV Au+C. For excitation energies leading to large intermediate mass fragment multiplicities, these transverse energies require large collective radial expansion of the emitting systems. However, the traditional decomposition of the transverse energy into a thermal component and a Coulomb and collective component proportional to the fragment mass cannot account for this expansion. Expansion velocities show an increase with decreasing fragment Z and thus indicate fractionation of the collective energy for the expanding system. This collective energy increases with emitter excitation up to about 50{percent} of the energy deposited for a nuclear system with total energy {approximately}12AMeV. The bulk of the collective energy is carried away by ejectiles of Z{le}3. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}

The E895 experiment has undertaken a systematic and exclusive study of Au+Au collisions between 2–8 A GeV. Complete event-by-event data were obtained using the EOS time projection chamber (TPC) which provided good particle identification and continuous tracking over almost 4π solid angle. In central Au+Au collisions at 6 A GeV, the proton rapidity distribution indicates almost complete stopping, hence high baryon density. We present preliminary results on collective flow observables as a function of beam energy. Data are compared with theoretical predictions.

Invariant mass analyses of (p,{pi}{sup {plus_minus}}) pairs in {sup 58}Ni+Cu collisions at 1.97A GeV have been performed and show correlations resulting from the decays of the {Delta} resonance, the {Lambda} baryon, and possibly the N{sup {asterisk}}(1440) resonance. A reduction in the {Delta} mass is observed and the mass reduction increases with collision centrality. Events generated by the relativistic cascade model (ARC) also reveal a mass reduction. The mass reduction is related to the size of the reaction volume and the details of {Delta} production mechanisms in heavy ion collisions. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

We study the energy dependence of collective (hydrodynamic-like) nuclear matter flow in (400{endash}1970){ital A} MeV Ni+Au and (1000{endash}1970){ital A} MeV Ni+Cu reactions. The flow increases with energy, appears to reach a maximum, and then to decrease at higher energies. A way of comparing the energy dependence of flow values for different projectile-target mass combinations is introduced, which demonstrates a more-or-less common scaling behavior among flow values from different systems. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

A detector has been developed for the tracking and charge measurement of the projectile fragment nuclei produced in relativistic nuclear collisions. This device, MUSIC II, is a second generation Multiple Sampling Ionization Chamber (MUSIC), and employs the principles of ionization and time projection chambers. It provides unique charge determination for charges Z≥6, and excellent track position measurement. MUSIC II has been used most recently with the EOS (Equation of State) TPC and other EOS Collaboration detectors. Earlier it was used with other systems in experiments at the Heavy Ion Superconducting Spectrometer (HISS) facility at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and the ALADIN spectrometer at GSI.

Preliminary inclusive spectra of negative hadrons, net protons and neutral strange particles are presented, measured by the NA49 experiment in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon. Comparison of their yields with those from the lighter S+S system suggests that the yields scale approximately with the number of participating nucleons.

We discuss preliminary data on stopping for central Pb + Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon. The (net) proton rapidity density measured by the NA49 Time Projection Chambers, NA49 Time of Flight and the NA44 spectrometer is presented. Slightly higher stopping is observed relative to S + S at 200 GeV/nucleon. The rapidity density exhibits a plateau around mid-rapidity which is qualitatively different from results at the AGS and BEVALAC/SIS energies. The second part of the paper discusses the azimuthal correlation of the energy flow. Preliminary results reveal that the ‘fireball’ preserves the information of the collision geometry even at SPS energies.

The reaction {sup 13}C({ital n},{ital p}){sup 13}B has been studied at {ital E}{sub {ital n}}=65 MeV. Cross sections were measured for transitions to the ground state and excited states of {sup 13}B from 0{degree} to 40{degree}. The 0{degree} cross section to the ground state gives a value of 179{plus_minus}20 MeVfm{sup 3} for {ital V}{sub {sigma}{tau}}{sup {ital c}}, the spin-isospin central part of the volume integral of the effective {ital N}-{ital N} interaction. A theoretical calculation, 181.3 MeVfm{sup 3}, is in good agreement with this result. Distorted-wave impulse-approximation calculations are compared with the experimental angular distributions. Good agreement is obtained for the dominant Gamow-Teller transition to the ground state of {sup 13}B. The evidence obtained here, together with results from the analogous reaction {sup 13}C({pi}{sup {minus}},{gamma}){sup 13}B, suggests that transitions to states at 6.5 and 7.6 MeV are spin dipole in character and that the broad resonance at 10.2 MeV is chiefly the analog of the giant {ital E}1 resonance in {sup 13}C. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}

Several years ago, a measured photon energy spectrum from np collisions was presented as a measurement of free np Bremsstrahlung, and subsequently theoretical groups compared the data to their model calculations of the process np → npγ [F. Malek, A. Nifenecker, J.A. Pinston, F. Schussler, S. Drissi, J. Julien, Phys. Lett. B 266 (1991) 391]. We point out that in np collisions, np capture ( np → dγ ) is important and cannot be ignored. It contributes approximately 30% of the cross section for photons above 40 MeV. Capture also makes a significant contribution to the photon spectra produced in p - d collisions, and possibly has a role in p -nucleus collisions. In the former case, better agreement between theory and experiment is obtained when (quasifree) capture is included.

A method is described for imaging integrated density along the beam path in phantoms that makes use of high energy proton beams. An application of the technique is in the positioning of patients in a proton therapy radiation facility. It makes use of a proton range telescope for density variation and X - Y detectors for planar positioning. The principle of the method was tested at a proton energy of 66 MeV. Good visual quality is seen in the tests. The measurements are compared with detailed Monte Carlo simulations, and good agreement is found. We apply the simulations to high energy proton beams (245 MeV) and show that the method should provide good visual quality and sensitivity for positioning at the higher energies necessary for whole body therapy.

Measurements of the transverse momenta ([ital p][sub [ital T]]) of medium and heavy mass projectile fragments for a range of projectile nuclei ([sup 40]Ar, [sup 93]Nb, [sup 139]La, [sup 197]Au) have been carried out. It is found that the width of the transverse momentum distributions increases more rapidly with projectile and fragment mass than predicted by models based on nucleon momenta in the projectile nuclei. The distributions can be fit by including an additional transverse momentum, [ital p][sub [ital B]] (for Bounce). The extracted values of [ital p][sub [ital B]]/[ital A][sub [ital F]] increase with decreasing [ital A][sub [ital F]], and extrapolations to small [ital A][sub [ital F]] appear to be consistent with the mean values of reaction-plane-projected [ital p][sub [ital T]] per nucleon for light particle (e.g., nucleon) bounce-off.''

Elastic scattering cross sections for 65 MeV neutrons have been measured for natural targets of C, Si, Ca, Fe, Sn, and Pb at laboratory angles from 6\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} to 45\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. A unique, compact detection system consisting of a ${\mathrm{CH}}_{2}$ (proton) converter and large-acceptance, wire-chamber-based, recoil-proton telescope is utilized for the measurements. The data is compared with macroscopic optical model potentials derived from proton scattering. In addition, comparisons with the microscopic optical model potentials, those of Jeukenne-Lejeune-Mahaux and Yamaguchi-Nagata-Matsuda, give a very good fit to the data.

A “live” plastic scintillator converter has been added to our compact, neutron detector system. The latter employs a large-area, proton telescope, consisting of multiwire chambers, ΔE and E detectors to measure the energy and angle of recoil protons. The “live” converter provides an increase in count rate by a factor of 6 as well as some improvement in neutron energy resolution. Neutron scattering data for a 65 MeV neutron beam at CNL and for neutron energies from 60 to 240 MeV at LAMPF have been taken with this type of system.

The fragmentation of 1.2 GeV per nucleon $^{139}\mathrm{La}$ nuclei has been studied. Total charge changing cross sections for H (${\mathrm{CH}}_{2}$-C), C, and Pb target nuclei, and elemental production cross sections for C and ${\mathrm{CH}}_{2}$ targets for 1\ensuremath{\le}\ensuremath{\Delta}Z\ensuremath{\le}30 have been measured. For heavy projectile fragments, the projected transverse momenta extracted are generally larger than predicted by models based on the internal momenta of nucleons in nuclei. Fits to the heavy fragment momentum distributions yield additional transverse momenta or ``bounce-off'' which range from \ensuremath{\simeq}500 to 1000 MeV/c.

Double-differential cross sections of the 54,56Fe(n, p) reactions have been measured at 97 MeV in the angular range 0–30° for excitation energies up to 40 MeV. The spectra have been decomposed into different multipolarities by a technique based on the use of sample angular distributions calculated within the distorted-wave Born approximation. From the identified Gamow-Teller strength, Sβ+ values were obtained for 54Fe and 56Fe. Comparisons with available shell-model calculations of the GT strength were made. The results are important for models of supernova explosions since electron-capture rates, which are proportional to Sβ+, in 1f2p-shell nuclei affect the dynamics of the star. At higher excitation energies, the spectra are dominated by L = 1 strength in broad distributions with a maximum at about 12 MeV. Microscopic calculations based on the random-phase approximation were performed and compared with the experimental data.

Results are presented for pion interferometry measurements of 1.8{ital A} GeV Ar+KCl and Ar+La, and 1.2{ital A} GeV Xe + La at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Heavy Ion Spectrometer System. The parameters {ital R}, {tau}, {lambda}, {ital R}{sub {perpendicular}}, and {ital R}{sub {parallel}} are presented for all three projectile-target combinations. The correlation between the extracted size of the pion source and the centrality of the collision is investigated as well as the freeze-out densities and the dependence of the source size on the mean momentum of the pion pairs. The experimental setup and analysis are discussed and comparisons made with the results of others. The phase space covered is at forward angles in the center-of-mass system.

Double differential cross-section angular distributions covering 0\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}\ensuremath{\le}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\theta}}}_{\mathrm{lab}}$\ensuremath{\le}40\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} have been measured for the $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$(n,p${)}^{40}$K charge exchange reaction. With the white neutron source at LAMPF-WNR, we were able to study not only the angular distribution but also the energy dependence of this charge exchange reaction covering simultaneously incident neutron energies between 60 and 260 MeV. The identification of Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions and L=1 dipole resonance was carried out using a multipole decomposition technique. The empirically deduced GT strength in the $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$(n,p${)}^{40}$K reaction evaluated up to 15 MeV excitation energy is compared to theoretical values. We have used a simple one-particle--one-hole shell model calculation to study the excitation of the giant dipole resonance and the giant spin-dipole resonance, which are compared with empirical results.

Cross sections have been measured for the reaction $^{64}\mathrm{Ni}$(n,p${)}^{64}$Co at laboratory angles between 0\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and 10\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} for incident neutron energies from 90 to 240 MeV. The ground-state cross sections together with the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\beta}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ decay ft value for the transition $^{64}\mathrm{Co}$(g.s.)${\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}^{64}$Ni(g.s.) are used to normalize the q=0 differential cross section in units of mb/sr per unit Gamow-Teller (GT) strength. This is the first absolute measurement of the A(n,p) unit cross section for a nucleus in the (fp) shell, and it may be used to calibrate the GT strength measured in other (n,p) reactions of similar mass nuclei. Since the (${\mathit{e}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$,${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\mathit{e}}$) channel involves the same nuclear matrix element as the (n,p) channel, knowledge of GT strength in these nuclei is important for supernova modeling codes which depend on knowledge of ${\mathit{e}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ capture rates of (fp)-shell nuclei to determine parameters of stellar core collapse.

Measurements are reported for the light output response on a NaI(T1) detector for protons, deuterons, and tritons with energies between 30 and 60 MeV. The stopping power region covered by this data overlaps previous data taken with electrons and protons. The new data around 60 MeV is interesting in that the light output is greater for deuterons (and tritons) than that for protons by the equivalent of ≈ 1 MeV. A comparison is made with the model of Murray and Meyer for light output response in inorganic crystals.

A facility for studies of neutron-induced reactions has been built at the upgraded Gustaf Werner cyclotron of the The Svedberg Laboratory, Uppsala, Sweden. Well-collimated, monoenergetic neutron beams are produced with a fairly long distance between the neutron source and the reaction target, to reduce background radiation. A magnetic spectrometer with large angular and momentum acceptance has been constructed to allow measurements of energy and angular distributions of light ions produced in neutron-induced reactions. Initially, studies will be undertaken of isovector monopole and Gamow-Teller resonances, induced by the (n,p) reaction in various nuclei. The performance is illustrated in a measurement of the doubly differential cross section of the 12C(n,p)12B reaction at 100 MeV.

We report differential cross section measurements for the stretched transition from the {sup 10}B ground state (J{sup {pi}}=3{sup +}) to the {sup 10}Be ground state (J{sup {pi}}=0{sup +}) in the {sup 10}B(n,p){sup 10}Be (g.s.) reaction. These data were obtained over the energy range from 70 to 240 MeV, covering momentum transfer values from 0.6 to 2.5 fm{sup -1}. In this momentum transfer range, the isovector tensor effective interaction dominates the transition. Cross sections are compared to zero- and finite-range distorted wave impulse approximation calculations using modern free and density-dependent effective interactions and a transition density consistent with (e,e{sup '}) data. Good agreement is observed at energies above 120 MeV, but below this energy the cross sections are larger than the calculated values by more than 40%. The implications for DWIA calculations are discussed.

Differential neutron elastic scattering cross sections for {sup 12}C, {sup 40}Ca, and {sup 208}Pb have been measured using the continuum neutron source at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The mean incident neutron kinetic energies ranged from 65 to 225 MeV. The large acceptance drift chamber based (n,p) recoil detector telescope spanned a center-of-mass angular range of 7 deg. to 23 deg. The measured cross sections are compared with calculations obtained with different optical model potentials, including predictions based on microscopic theory and phenomenology.
