  2. 1. Experimental studies of particle production in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions

    Author : Pål Nilsson; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pad chambers; PHENIX; WA98; phi-meson; tracking; single particle spectra; heavy-ion collisions; inverse slope parameters; particle production; RHIC; charged particle multiplicity; pad readout; SPS; Physics; Fysik; Atomic and molecular physics; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Fysicumarkivet A:2001:Nilsson;

    Abstract : This thesis is about high energy heavy ion physics. Two major experiments, the WA98 at CERN and the PHENIX at Brookhaven National Laboratory, are described. Results from data analysis from both experiments are presented. The WA98 chapter presents particle identification methods and phi-meson measurements. READ MORE

  4. 2. ALPACA - A kinetic theory Monte Carlo event generator for heavy ion collisions

    Author : Robin Törnkvist; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ALPACA; QCD effective kinetic theory; event generators; heavy-ion physics; Proton-proton collisions; small system collectivity; phenomemology;

    Abstract : Recent measurements of collective effect-like signals in small collision systems has highlighted the need for new models to explain these phenomena. One good candidate for such a model is the AMY QCD effective kinetic theory, which is valid for systems in- and out-of-equilibrium. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aspects of Hadron Production in High-Energy Heavy-Ion Physics

    Author : David Silvermyr; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RHIC; pad readout; electronic; chip-on-board; tracking; heavy-ion collisions; freeze-out temperature; delta resonance; SPS; WA98; PHENIX; Fysik; coherent peripheral; multiplicity; Physics; Fysicumarkivet A:2001:Silvermyr;

    Abstract : High-energy heavy-ion collisions provide a unique tool for the study of nuclear matter as a function of temperature and density. WA98 at the CERN SPS recorded data with a 158 A GeV Pb beam on a Pb target in 1996. To cope with the high charged-particle density, a tracking system based on high granularity multi-step avalanche detectors was developed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Developing the Angantyr model and extending colour reconnection for heavy-ion collisions in Pythia

    Author : Harsh Shah; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heavy-ion collisions; hadronization; QCD Phenomenology; Colour Reconnection; Fysicumarkivet A:2023:Shah;

    Abstract : This thesis is composed of four papers, the first two show the attempts made to extend the Pythia event generator to simulate heavy-ion collision events. The other two papers show methods to improve the hadronization mechanism in the Pythia model for a bettter agreement with the experimental data of pp and heavy-ion collisions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mini-Jet Production in Proton-Antiproton Interactions and Particle Production in Heavy-Ion Collisions

    Author : Haiqiao Wang; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proton antiproton interaction; Quark-gluon plasma; dynamical fluctuation; intermittency; limiting fragmentation; intranuclear cascading; target fragmentation; heavy-ion collision; image processing; mini-jet; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik; Fysicumarkivet A:1997:Wang;

    Abstract : The thesis is based on the data analysis and detector development of the EMU01/CERN, E863/BNL and UA1/CERN experiments. Particle fluctuations are studied with the scaled factorial moments in the fragmentation region of oxygen-induced emulsion interactions from 3.7 to 200 A GeV. READ MORE
