被引用回数:15 パーセンタイル:75.53(Physics, Nuclear)The PHENIX Collaboration has measured the ratio of the yields of to mesons produced in , Al, Au, and He+Au collisions at GeV over the forward and backward rapidity intervals . We find that the ratio in collisions is consistent with measurements at other collision energies. In collisions with nuclei, we find that in the forward (-going or He-going) direction, the relative yield of mesons to mesons is consistent with the value measured in collisions. However, in the backward (nucleus-going) direction, the meson is preferentially suppressed by a factor of . This suppression is attributed in some models to the breakup of the weakly bound meson through final-state interactions with comoving particles, which have a higher density in the nucleus-going direction. These breakup effects may compete with color screening in a deconfined quark-gluon plasma to produce sequential suppression of excited quarkonia states.

被引用回数:40 パーセンタイル:94.3(Physics, Nuclear)We present measurements of long-range angular correlations and the transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow in high-multiplicity + Au collisions at GeV. A comparison of these results to previous measurements in high-multiplicity + Au and He + Au collisions demonstrates a relation between and the initial collision eccentricity , suggesting that the observed momentum-space azimuthal anisotropies in these small systems have a collective origin and reflect the initial geometry. Good agreement is observed between the measured and hydrodynamic calculations for all systems, and an argument disfavoring theoretical explanations based on initial momentum-space domain correlations is presented. The set of measurements presented here allows us to leverage the distinct intrinsic geometry of each of these systems to distinguish between different theoretical descriptions of the long-range correlations observed in small collision systems.
