Expectations for the Observations at the LHC: Theory & Experiment

Talk

A study of the energy behavior of the hadronic spectra and pion interferometry scales is conducted for the top SPS, RHIC and LHC energies within the hydrokinetic approach. The latter allows one to describe evolution of quark-gluon and hadron matter as well as continuous particle emission from the fluid in agreement with the underlying kinetic equations. The main mechanisms that lead to...

The influence of jet production on femtoscopic momentum correlations in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions is analyzed in the frame of HYDJET++ Monte-Carlo model. Non-trivial energy dependence of the correlation radii from RHIC to LHC due to jets is predicted.

39. Initial source size and transverse momentum fluctuations in the event-by-event relativistic heavy- ion collisions

Expectations for the Observations at the LHC: Theory & Experiment

Talk

We investigate the initial transverse size of the source, which comes directly from the Glauber treatment of the earliest stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. After the hydrodynamic evolution stage the fluctuations in the transverse velocity flow at the hadronic freeze-out are transformed into the even-by-event fluctuations of the average transverse momentum. The Glauber phase is...

Expectations for the Observations at the LHC: Theory & Experiment

Talk

I will present the results of a femtoscopic analysis on Monte Carlo pp data, at multiple expected LHC energies, which has been run through a hadronic rescattering afterburner. Through these results, the expected effect of hadron rescattering on expected HBT radii will be shown.

41. Jet-like heavy-flavour particle correlations in ALICE

Squeezed States and Particle-Antiparticle Back-to-Back Correlation

Talk

The energy loss of partons is predicted to be a sensitive probe of the QCD matter created in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions since its magnitude depends strongly on the colour charge density of the matter traversed. In particular, the understanding of the flavour dependent coupling of quarks and the modification of their fragmentation function give essential information on the...

32. Azimuthally-sensitive femtoscopy: an excitation function worth pursuing

Investigating Dynamics and the EOS with Correlations

Talk

The reaction plane-dependence of pion HBT correlations has been measured at the AGS, SPS and RHIC facilities. Though very few data points exist over this two orders of magnitude in energy, an intriguing behaviour is observed. In particular, contrary to generic expectations of a monotonic energy dependence of the freezeout anisotropy, a "step" or perhaps even a dip-like behaviour appears....
