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 (

meson oscillation. We report a differential cross section of 
nb for like-sign muons in the rapidity and

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.

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

range between 0.04 and 0.09. One can infer the sign of the gluon polarization from the ordering of pion asymmetries with charge alone. The asymmetries are found to be consistent with global quantum-chromodynamics fits of deep-inelastic scattering and data at GeV, which show a nonzero positive contribution of gluon spin to the proton spin.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：38.19(Physics, Nuclear)Charmonium is a valuable probe in heavy-ion collisions to study the properties of the quark gluon plasma, and is also an interesting probe in small collision systems to study cold nuclear matter effects, which are also present in large collision systems. With the recent observations of collective behavior of produced particles in small system collisions, measurements of the modification of harmonium in small systems have become increasingly relevant. We present the results of measurements at forward and backward rapidity in various small collision systems, , Al, Au and HeAu, at =200 GeV. The results are presented in the form of the observable 
, the nuclear modification factor, a measure of the ratio of the invariant yield compared to the scaled yield in collisions. We examine the rapidity, transverse momentum, and collision centrality dependence of nuclear effects on production with different projectile sizes and He, and different target sizes Al and Au. The modification is found to be strongly dependent on the target size, but to be very similar for Au and 
HeAu. However, for 0% - 20% central collisions at backward rapidity, the modification for HeAu is found to be smaller than that for Au, with a mean fit to the ratio of 
(stat)
(syst), possibly indicating final state effects due to the larger projectile size.

, -going direction) and backward rapidity (
, 
-going direction). Such effects are quantified by measuring nuclear modification factors as a function of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity in various collision multiplicity selections. In central Al and Au collisions, a suppression (enhancement) is observed at forward (backward) rapidity compared to the binary scaled yields in + collisions. The magnitude of enhancement at backward rapidity is larger in Au collisions than in Al collisions, which have a smaller number of participating nucleons. However, the results at forward rapidity show a similar suppression within uncertainties. The results in the integrated centrality are compared with calculations using nuclear parton distribution functions, which show a reasonable agreement at the forward rapidity but fail to describe the backward rapidity enhancement.

We have developed HypTPC consists of TPC and the trigger hodoscope for the J-PARC hadron experiments. The TPC Hodoscope has large scintillators of 80 
7 1 cm to cover the TPC. Especially, we have developed a readout circuit for multiple MPPCs to detect photons generated over a large area of the scintillator. A general methods of applying voltage to multiple MPPCs are parallel and series connections. In the case of parallel connections, a signal has a long tail due to the large sensor capacitance. MEG collaboration used four MPPC segments as a serial connection. However, in the case of a series connection, the requiring bias voltage is very high, and the gain is low. To avoid this problem, we have developed a new individual biasing method with a summing amplifier for stable multiple MPPC readouts. We also made prototype detectors and performed a cosmic-ray test. Brief descriptions of our prototypes and preliminary results of the cosmic-ray test are presented in this article.

We performed a gamma-ray spectroscopy of

states, as 316 keV. The excitation energies of 
and states are also determined to be 895 and 1266 keV, respectively. The energy spacing is found to be well reproduced by shell-model calculations which describe 
- and -shell hypernuclei well. The results show that the present theories of the 
interaction describe not only the light hypernuclei but also a heavier hypernucleus.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：44.1(Instruments & Instrumentation)We have developed a gas electron multiplier (GEM)-based time projection chamber (TPC) for the H-dibaryon search experiment at J-PARC. High-rate 
beam particles enter a TPC gas volume of approximately 0.2 m, in a direction perpendicular to the electric field. A long-rectangular hollow section is located inside the TPC volume to accommodate a diamond target. We commissioned the TPC using 230 MeV protons with beam rates of up to 1 MHz. The TPC data acquisition system collected 5768 pad signals in full readout mode, with almost 100% efficiency, at a preset trigger rate of 230 Hz. We operated the TPC in an Ar/CH
gas mixture (90/10) without a magnetic field. The spatial resolutions on the pad plane are measured to be 400-700 
m, which correspond to 230-300 m in a magnetic field of 1 T. We confirmed high tracking capability at beam rates of up to 1 MHz.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：66.03Experimental results from the J-PARC E13 experiments are summarized. A new experimental set up of E13 has established a platform for the future -ray hypernuclear spectroscopy at J-PARC using kaon beams. New rays are identified in 
He and F. The energy of 1.406 MeV for the He
transition confirmed a sizable effect of Charge Symmetry Breaking (CSB) in interaction in the 
hypernuclear system. The identification of four rays in F is made for the first time in shell hypernuclei. Especially, energy spacing of the ground state doublet is found to be 315.5 keV. A good agreement with two theoretical calculations suggests that the theoretical formalism used in shell hypernuclei is also applicable to heavier hypernuclei. Lastly, an overview of the future J-PARC E63 experiment is given.

For the full understanding of baryon-baryon interactions in flavor 
, the 
interaction is the last missing piece of information. So far, we have revealed the interaction to be attractive (
MeV), and interaction to be repulsive in the medium to heavy mass-number region. The 
bonding energy is weakly attractive. While we have a few experimental observations suggesting the interaction would be attractive, there still exist large theoretical ambiguities weather it is attractive or not. Experimental determinations on the existence of bound states of hypernuclei by observing bound-state peaks are strongly awaited. In this report, a new preliminary result on the missing-mass spectrum of a C reaction, which strongly suggests the existence of -hypernuclear bound states, is presented.

被引用回数：12 パーセンタイル：84.65(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The PHENIX collaboration presents first measurements of low-momentum (0.4 
3 GeV/) direct-photon yields from AuAu collisions at = 39 and 62.4 GeV. For both beam energies the direct-photon yields are substantially enhanced with respect to expectations from prompt processes, similar to the yields observed in AuAu collisions at = 200. Analyzing the photon yield as a function of the experimental observable 
reveals that the low-momentum (
1 GeV/) direct-photon yield 
is a smooth function of and can be well described as proportional to 
with 
1.25. This new scaling behavior holds for a wide range of beam energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and Large Hadron Collider, for centrality selected samples, as well as for different, 
collision systems. At a given beam energy the scaling also holds for high (5 GeV/) but when results from different collision energies are compared, an additional -dependent multiplicative factor is needed to describe the integrated-direct-photon yield.

被引用回数：8 パーセンタイル：84.91(Physics, Nuclear)We present measurements of azimuthal correlations of charged hadron pairs in GeV AuAu collisions after subtracting an underlying event using a model that includes higher-order azimuthal anisotropy 
, 
, and 
. After subtraction, the away-side (
of the highest transverse-momentum trigger (
GeV/) correlations is suppressed compared to that of correlations measured in collisions. At the lowest associated particle , the away-side shape and yield are modified. These observations are consistent with the scenario of radiative-jet energy loss. For the lowest- trigger correlations, an away-side yield exists and we explore the dependence of the shape of the away-side within the context of an underlying-event model. Correlations are also studied differentially versus event-plane angle 
. The angular correlations show an asymmetry when selecting the sign of the trigger-particle azimuthal angle with respect to the 
event plane. This asymmetry and the measured suppression of the pair yield out of plane is consistent with a path-length-dependent energy loss. No 
dependence can be resolved within experimental uncertainties.

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.
