Fixed Target Experiment

NA61/SHINE is a fixed target experiment operating at the CERN SPS. Its main goals are to search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter and to study the onset of deconfinement. For these goals a scan of the two dimensional phase diagram (T-μB) is being performed at the SPS by measurements of hadron production in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleusnucleus interactions as a function of collision energy. In this paper the status of the NA61/SHINE strong interaction physics programme is presented including recent results on proton intermittency, strongly intensive fluctuation observables of multiplicity and transverse momentum fluctuations. These measurements are expected to be sensitive to the correlation length in the produced matter and, therefore, have the ability to reveal the existence of the critical point via possible non-monotonic behavior. The NA61/SHINE results are compared to the model predictions.

This paper presents a review of the study of Exclusive Central Production at a center-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text] at the Fermilab Fixed Target program. In all reactions reviewed in this paper, protons with an energy of 800 GeV were extracted from the Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab and directed to a Liquid Hydrogen target. The states reviewed include [Formula: see text], ϕϕ and D*±. Partial Wave Analysis results will be presented on the light states but only the cross-section will be reviewed in the diffractive production of D*±.

The search for short-lived particles is usually the final stage in the chain of event reconstruction and precedes event selection when operating in online mode or physics analysis when operating in offline mode. Most often such short-lived particles are neutral and their search and reconstruction is carried out using their daughter charged particles resulting from their decay. The use of the missing mass method makes it possible to find and analyze also decays of charged short-lived particles, when one of the daughter particles is neutral and is not registered in the detector system. One of the most known examples of such decays is the decay Σ− → nπ−. In this paper, we discuss in detail the missing mass method, which was implemented as part of the KF Particle Finder package for the search and analysis of short-lived particles, and describe the use of the method in the STAR experiment (BNL, USA). The method was used to search for pion (π± → μ±ν) and kaon (K± → μ±ν and K± → π±π0) decays online on the HLT farm in the express production chain. An important feature of the express production chain in the STAR experiment is that it allows one to start calibration, production, and analysis of the data immediately after receiving them. Here, the particular features and results of the real-time application of the method within the express processing of data obtained in the BES-II program at a beam energy of 3.85 GeV/n when working with a fixed target are presented and discussed.

AbstractIn this work, the relative Underlying event (UE) transverse multiplicity activity classifier ($$R_\mathrm{{T}}$$ R T ) is used to study the strange and multi-strange hadron production in proton-proton collisions. Our study with $$R_\mathrm{{T}}$$ R T would allow to disentangle these particles, which are originating from the soft and hard QCD processes. We have used the PYTHIA 8 Monte-Carlo (MC) with a different implementation of color reconnection and rope hadronization models to demonstrate the proton-proton collisions data at $$\sqrt{s}~$$ s = 13 TeV. The relative production of strange and multi-strange hadrons are discussed extensively in low and high transverse activity regions. In this contribution, the relative strange hadron production is enhanced with increasing $$R_\mathrm{{T}}$$ R T . This enhancement is significant for the strange baryons as compared to mesons. In addition, the particle ratios as a function of $$R_\mathrm{{T}}~$$ R T confirm the baryon enhancement in new Color Reconnection (newCR), whereas the Rope model confirms the baryon enhancement only with strange quark content. Experimental confirmation of such results will provide more insight into the soft physics in the transverse region, which will be useful to investigate various tunes based on hadronization and color reconnection schemes.

We review the methods and results obtained in an analysis of the experimental heavy ion collision research program at nuclear beam energy of 160–200 A GeV. We study strange, and more generally, hadronic particle production experimental data. We discuss present expectations concerning how these observables will perform at other collision energies. We also present the dynamical theory of strangeness production and apply it to show that it agrees with available experimental results. We describe strange hadron production from the baryon-poor quark-gluon phase formed at much higher reaction energies, where the abundance of strange baryons and antibaryons exceeds that of nonstrange baryons and antibaryons.
