We report measurements of transverse momentum $p_t$ spectra for ten event multiplicity classes of p-p collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV. By analyzing the multiplicity dependence we find that the spectrum shape can be decomposed into a part with amplitude proportional to multiplicity and described by a L\'evy distribution on transverse mass $m_t$, and a part with amplitude proportional to multiplicity squared and described by a gaussian distribution on transverse rapidity $y_t$. The functional forms of the two parts are nearly independent of event multiplicity. The two parts can be identified with the soft and hard components of a two-component model of p-p collisions. This analysis then provides the first isolation of the hard component of the $p_t$ spectrum as a distribution of simple form on $y_t$.

Measurement of long-range pseudorapidity correlations and azimuthal harmonics in $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV proton-lead collisions with the ATLAS detector

Inspire Record 1315325 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.66357

Measurements of two-particle correlation functions and the first five azimuthal harmonics, $v_1$ to $v_5$, are presented, using 28 $\mathrm{nb}^{-1}$ of $p$+Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV measured with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Significant long-range "ridge-like" correlations are observed for pairs with small relative azimuthal angle ($|\Delta\phi|<\pi/3$) and back-to-back pairs ($|\Delta\phi| > 2\pi/3$) over the transverse momentum range $0.4 < p_{\rm T} < 12$ GeV and in different intervals of event activity. The event activity is defined by either the number of reconstructed tracks or the total transverse energy on the Pb-fragmentation side. The azimuthal structure of such long-range correlations is Fourier decomposed to obtain the harmonics $v_n$ as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ and event activity. The extracted $v_n$ values for $n=2$ to 5 decrease with $n$. The $v_2$ and $v_3$ values are found to be positive in the measured $p_{\rm T}$ range. The $v_1$ is also measured as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ and is observed to change sign around $p_{\rm T}\approx 1.5$-2.0 GeV and then increase to about 0.1 for $p_{\rm T}>4$ GeV. The $v_2(p_{\rm T})$, $v_3(p_{\rm T})$ and $v_4(p_{\rm T})$ are compared to the $v_n$ coefficients in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} =2.76$ TeV with similar event multiplicities. Reasonable agreement is observed after accounting for the difference in the average $p_{\rm T}$ of particles produced in the two collision systems.

The mean multiplicities of π− mesons and protons originating from pC, dC, αC, and CC interactions at a momentum of p=4.2 GeV/c per projectile nucleon and the distributions of these particles in kinematical variables are presented. These experimental distributions are compared with the corresponding predictions obtained on the basis of the FRITIOF model. It is shown that the FRITIOF version used in the present analysis describes satisfactorily our experimental data.

QCD studies with e+ e- annihilation data at 172-GeV to 189-GeV.

Inspire Record 513476 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.49000

We have studied hadronic events from e+e- annihilation data at centre-of-mass energies of sqrt{s}=172, 183 and 189 GeV. The total integrated luminosity of the three samples, measured with the OPAL detector, corresponds to 250 pb^-1. We present distributions of event shape variables, charged particle multiplicity and momentum, measured separately in the three data samples. From these we extract measurements of the strong coupling alpha_s, the mean charged particle multiplicity <nch> and the peak position xi_0 in the xi_p=ln(1/x_p) distribution. In general the data are described well by analytic QCD calculations and Monte Carlo models. Our measured values of alpha_s, <nch> and xi_0 are consistent with previous determinations at sqrt{s}=MZ.

Study of the inclusive reaction Mg + Mg ---> pi- + X at a momentum of 4.3-GeV/c per incident nucleon

A detailed study of pion production in central Mg - Mg collisions at a momentum of 4.3 GeV/c per incident nucleon was carried out using the GIBS set-up. It has been shown that the dependence of the average kinematical characteristics ( and ) of mesons on multiplicity differs from that for NN collisions at the same energy, which is due to nuclear effects. The temperatures of mesons have been estimated using two different selection criteria: in the rapidity interval and at angles in the CMS. A satisfactory fit for mesons can be achieved by using a form involving two temperatures and . The relative yield of the high-temperature component is . The results obtained by the intranuclear cascade model CASIMIR coincide with the experimental data estimated with both methods. From the analysis of angular distributions of mesons the anisotropy coefficient a was obtained. The anisotropy coefficient increases linearly with the kinetic energy (in the CMS). CASIMIR reproduces the increase of a with , but the slope is less steep than from experimental results.

Momentum correlations of charmed pairs produced in pi- - Cu interactions at 230-GeV/c

Inspire Record 394891 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.28510

We study the production characteristics of 557 pairs of charmed hadrons produced in $\pi~{-}-Cu$\ interactions at 230GeV/c using a momentum estimator for charmed hadrons with missing decay products. We find, the mean value of the transverse momentum squared of the charmed pairs is $<$\pts$>=(1.98\pm 0.11\pm 0.09)\;$ GeV$~2$/c$~2$, the mean rapidity difference is $<|$\yd$|>=0.54\pm 0.02\pm 0.24$, and the mean effective mass is $<$\mef$>=(4.45\pm 0.03\pm 0.13)\;$ GeV/c$~2$. Comparing these results with the next-to-leading order QCD predictions we find an agreement for the \yd\ and \mef, whilst the measured mean value of \pts\ is significantly larger than the predicted value.

Projectile rapidity pions in 775-MeV/nucleon La-139 + C-12 and La-139 + La-139 reactions

Inspire Record 383725 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.25980

Negative pion spectra emitted in the reactions of 775 MeV/nucleon La139+12C and La139+139La reactions have been measured in coincidence with the projectile fragments using the HISS spectrometer at the Bevalac. Prominent peaks near the beam velocity were observed in the pion spectra. Position and widths of the peaks were studied as a function of the ‘‘sum charge’’ of projectile fragments which is a good measure of impact parameter; the smaller the ‘‘sum charge,’’ the smaller the impact parameter. The peak position down shifts with the smaller ‘‘sum charge.’’ The pion peak is wider in the transverse than in the longitudinal direction, possibly mirroring the velocity dispersions of projectile fragments in the early stage of reactions.
