"Antiflow" of antiprotons in heavy ion collisions (1994)

André Jahns Christian Spieles Heinz Sorge Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

In the framework of the relativistic quantum dynamics approach we investigate antiproton observables in Au-Au collisions at 10.7A GeV. The rapidity dependence of the in-plane directed transverse momentum p(y) of p's shows the opposite sigh of the nucleon flow, which has indeed recently been discovered at 10.7A GeV by the E877 group. The "antiflow" of p's is also predicted at 2A GeV and at 160 A GeV and appears at all energies also for pi's and K's. These predicted p anticorrelations are a direct proof of strong p annihilation in massive heavy ion reactions.

Phasespace Correlations of Antideuterons in Heavy Ion Collisions (1995)

Marcus Bleicher Christian Spieles André Jahns Raffaele Mattiello Heinz Sorge Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

In the framework of the relativistic quantum molecular dynamics approach (RQMD) we investigate antideuteron (d) observables in Au+Au collisions at 10.7 AGeV. The impact parameter dependence of the formation ratios d/p2 and d/p2 is calculated. In central collisions, the antideuteron formation ratio is predicted to be two orders of magnitude lower than the deuteron formation ratio. The d yield in central Au+Au collisions is one order of magnitude lower than in Si+Al collisions. In semicentral collisions di erent configuration space distributions of p s and d s lead to a large squeeze out e ect for antideuterons, which is not predicted for the p s.

Antibaryons in massive heavy ion reactions : importance of potentials (1995)

Christian Spieles Marcus Bleicher André Jahns Raffaele Mattiello Heinz Sorge Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

In the framework of RQMD we investigate antiproton observables in massive heavy ion collisions at AGS energies and compare to preliminary results of the E878 collaboration. We focus here on the considerable influence of the real part of an antinucleon nucleus optical potential on the ¯p momentum spectra. Pacs-numbers: 14.20 Dh, 25.70.-z

Nucleus-nucleus collisions at highest energies (1996)

Marcus Bleicher N. Amelin Steffen A. Bass Mathias Brandstetter Adrian Dumitru Christoph Ernst Lars Gerland Jens Konopka Christian Spieles Henning Weber L. A. Winckelmann Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

The microscopic phasespace approach URQMD is used to investigate the stopping power and particle production in heavy systems at SPS and RHIC energies. We find no gap in the baryon rapidity distribution even at RHIC. For CERN energies URQMD shows a pile up of baryons and a supression of multi-nucleon clusters at midrapidity.

Intermediate mass dileptons from secondary Drell-Yan processes (1998)

Christian Spieles Lars Gerland Nils Hammon Marcus Bleicher Steffen A. Bass Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner C. Lourenco Ramona Vogt

Recent reports on enhancements of intermediate and hight mass muon pairs producedin heavy ion collisions have attracted much attention.

Excitation function of energy density and partonic degrees of freedom in relativistic heavy ion collisions (1998)

H. Weber Christoph Ernst Marcus Bleicher Larissa V. Bravina Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner Christian Spieles Steffen A. Bass

We estimate the energy density epsilon pile-up at mid-rapidity in central Pb+Pb collisions from 2 200 GeV/nucleon. epsilon is decomposed into hadronic and partonic contributions. A detailed analysis of the collision dynamics in the framework of a microscopic transport model shows the importance of partonic degrees of freedom and rescattering of leading (di)quarks in the early phase of the reaction for Elab 30 GeV/nucleon. In Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV/nucleon the energy density reaches up to 4 GeV/fm3, 95% of which are contained in partonic degrees of freedom.

Dissociation of expanding c anti-c states in heavy ion collisions (1999)

Christian Spieles Ramona Vogt Lars Gerland Steffen A. Bass Marcus Bleicher Leonid Frankfurt Mark Strikman Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

We study J/psi suppression in AB collisions assuming that the charmonium states evolve from small, color transparent configurations. Their interaction with nucleons and nonequilibrated, secondary hadrons is simulated using the microscopic model UrQMD. The Drell-Yan lepton pair yield and the J/psi Drell-Yan ratio are calculated as a function of the neutral transverse energy in Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV and found to be in reasonable agreement with existing data.

Modeling J /Psi production and absorption in a microscopic nonequilibrium approach (1999)

Christian Spieles Ramona Vogt Lars Gerland Steffen A. Bass Marcus Bleicher Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

Charmonium production and absorption in heavy ion collisions is studied with the Ultrarelativisitic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model. We compare the scenario of universal and time independent color-octet dissociation cross sections with one of distinct color-singlet J/psi, psi 2 and CHIc states, evolving from small, color transparent configurations to their asymptotic sizes. The measured J/psi production cross sections in pA and AB collisions at SPS energies are consistent with both purely hadronic scenarios. The predicted rapidity dependence of J/psi suppression can be used to discriminate between the two experimentally. The importance of interactions with secondary hadrons and the applicability of thermal reaction kinetics to J/psi absorption are in- vestigated. We discuss the e ect of nuclear stopping and the role of leading hadrons. The dependence of the 2/J/psi ratio on the model assumptions and the possible influence of refeeding processes is also studied.

"Pressure equilibration" in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions (1997)

Jörg Brachmann Adrian Dumitru Christian Spieles Joachim A. Maruhn Horst Stöcker Walter Greiner

We study the time scale for pressure equilibration in heavy ion collisions at AGS energies within the three-fluid hydrodynamical model and a microscopic cascade model (UrQMD). We find that kinetic equilibrium is reached in both models after a time of 5 fm/c (center-of-mass time). Thus, observables which are sensitive to the early stage of the reaction differ considerably from the expectations within the instant thermalization scenario (one-fluid hydrodynamical model).
