被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.01(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The cross section of bottom quark-antiquark () production in
collisions at
GeV is measured with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The results are based on the yield of high mass, like-sign muon pairs measured within the PHENIX muon arm acceptance (
). The
signal is extracted from like-sign dimuons by utilizing the unique properties of neutral
meson oscillation. We report a differential cross section of
nb for like-sign muons in the rapidity and
ranges
and
GeV/
, and dimuon mass of 5 - 10 GeV/
. The extrapolated total cross section at this energy for
production is
b. The total cross section is compared to a perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculation and is consistent within uncertainties. The azimuthal opening angle between muon pairs from
decays and their
distributions are compared to distributions generated using
, which includes next-to-leading order processes. The azimuthal correlations and pair
distribution are not very well described by
calculations, but are still consistent within uncertainties. Flavor creation and flavor excitation subprocesses are favored over gluon splitting.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:18.09(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The PHENIX experiment has measured the spin alignment for inclusive decays in
collisions at
GeV at midrapidity. The angular distributions have been measured in three different polarization frames, and the three decay angular coefficients have been extracted in a full two-dimensional analysis. Previously, PHENIX saw large longitudinal net polarization at forward rapidity at the same collision energy. This analysis at midrapidity, complementary to the previous PHENIX results, sees no sizable polarization in the measured transverse momentum range of
GeV/
. The results are consistent with a previous one-dimensional analysis at midrapidity at
GeV. The transverse-momentum-dependent cross section for midrapidity
production has additionally been measured, and after comparison to world data we find a simple logarithmic dependence of the cross section on
.
