最深层次的物质状态-夸克物质.pptVIP

As we know, until now, RHIC has accumulated huge amount of data. Among these data, I think the first key observation is ‘jet quenching’, i.e. in central Au-Au collisions, the yield of high pt particle per binary collision is suppressed compared to that of pp collisions at the same energy. This results indicate very high gluon density at the early stage. The second one is the large elliptic flow value in semi-central Au-Au collisions. As we also see in the plot, hadronic transport models can not reproduce the data, which means partonic phase is essential to generate such high pressure at early
