被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:61.88(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We report on the nuclear dependence of transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSAs) in the production of positively-charged hadrons in polarized , Al and Au collisions at GeV. The measurements have been performed at forward rapidity () over the range of GeV and . We observed a positive asymmetry for positively-charged hadrons in collisions, and a significantly reduced asymmetry in + collisions. These results reveal a nuclear dependence of charged hadron in a regime where perturbative techniques are relevant. These results provide new opportunities to use A collisions as a tool to investigate the rich phenomena behind TSSAs in hadronic collisions and to use TSSA as a new handle in studying small-system collisions.

被引用回数:7 パーセンタイル:40.39(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Measurements of the differential production of electrons from open-heavy-flavor hadrons with charm- and bottom-quark content in collisions at GeV are presented. The measurements proceed through displaced-vertex analyses of electron tracks from the semileptonic decay of charm and bottom hadrons using the PHENIX silicon-vertex detector. The relative contribution of electrons from bottom decays to inclusive heavy-flavor-electron production is found to be consistent with fixed-order-plus-next-to-leading-log perturbative-QCD calculations within experimental and theoretical uncertainties. These new measurements in collisions provide a precision baseline for comparable forthcoming measurements in AA collisions.
