Uranium-uranium collisions at the energy of the Brookhaven Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (100 + 100 GeV per nucleon) are predicted to produce an average of nearly 100 jets with pr > 3 GeV. These jets will on average carry off 70 GeV of transverse energy ET per unit rapidity. Central collisions produce more transverse energy than this; the ET distribution extends up to about (5A 4/3 GeV 4 )/prmin per unit rapidity, which is 4 times the average. It is estimated that the minijets are likely to undergo further collisions and become thermalized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
