30. System-size dependence of charged kaon and pion production in nucleus-nucleus collisions at beam energies of 40A GeV and 158A GeV

The NA49 collaboration measured the rapidity and transverse mass distributions of kaons and pions in Pb+Pb collisions at different centralities. These data are complemented by results from the small systems C+C and Si+Si. We find that the centrality dependence of kaon and pion production is reproduced by microscopic transport model calculations (HSD and UrQMD2.3) within 20% or better....

34. Status and results from the NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS

Present status and recent results shall be presented from the NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS. The physics program is concentrated along heavy-ion physics and the study of hadron production in p+p and h+A collisions. The heavy-ion program mostly address the study of onset of deconfinement and search for the critical point of the strongly interacting matter, while the p+p and h+A program...

69. Production of pi/K/p in pp and Pb-Pb collisions measured with ALICE.

The ALICE detector features multiple particle identification systems including: the Time Projection Chamber (TPC), the Inner Tracking System (ITS), a time-of-flight system (TOF) and a Ring-imaging Cherenkov detector (HMPID). This combination of detectors along with the excellent tracking capabilities of ALICE provides us with the opportunity to measure the production of pi/K/p over a broad...

29. Kaon femtoscopy in 200 GeV central Au+Au collsions at STAR

Talk

Three-dimensional source extraction techniques allow us to get an insight to the space-time extent and the freezeout dynamics of the hot and dense medium created in RHIC high energy heavy ion collisions, using Bose-Einstein correlated like-sign hadron pairs. Three-dimensional analyses of the pion source revealed a heavy, non-Gaussian tail in the "out" direction. The interpretation of these...

73. Study of h-h and V0-h angular correlations in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN = 2.76 TeV

Marek Bombara (Pavol Jozef Safarik University (SK))

Talk

Two-particle angular correlations provide a powerful tool to study jets and their modication in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The study of the particle species dependence of correlation structures as a function of transverse momentum provides additional information on the particle production mechanisms at LHC energies. In this contribution we will present studies of a near-side...

32. Multiplicity fluctuations of identified hadrons in p+p interactions at SPS energies

The problem of pinning down the critical point of strongly interacting matter still puzzles the community. One of the answers suspected to emerge in the near future will surely come from NA61/SHINE - a fixed-target experiment aiming to discover the critical point as well as to study the properties of the onset of deconfinement. This goal will be reached by obtaining precise data on...
