    Abstract : The charged particle production in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions in the energy range 4-200 A GeV has been studied. Two different experimental techniques have been utilized: nuclear emulsions and Multi-Step Avalanche Chambers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Net-Charge Fluctuations in Ultra-Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions

    Author : Henrik Tydesjö; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quark-Gluon Plasma; Net-Charge Fluctuations; Pad Chamber; högenergi; Kosmisk strålning; High energy interactions; cosmic rays; PHENIX; Heavy-Ion Collisions; RHIC; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Tydesjö;

    Abstract : PHENIX is one of four experiments at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, RHIC. The high-energy heavy-ion collisions provided by this accelerator offer the possibility to study nuclear matter at high temperature and density. The high multiplicity of particles produced in these collisions puts high demands on detector performance. READ MORE
