Measurement of the Midrapidity Transverse Energy Distribution fromsNN=130GeVA

Abstract: The first measurement of energy produced transverse to the beam direction at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory is presented. The midrapidity transverse energy density per participating nucleon rises steadily with the number of participants, closely paralleling the rise in charged-particle density, such that / remains relatively constant as a function of centrality. The energy density calculated via Bjorken's prescription for the 2% most central Au+Au collisions … Show more

“…Presented here will be charged particle multiplicity and transverse energy measurements from the following systems: Au+Au collisions at PHENIX has previously published charged particle multiplicity distributions from Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV [3], Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 130 GeV [3,13], and Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 19.6 GeV [3]. PHENIX has also previously published transverse energy distributions from Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV [3], Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 130 GeV [14], Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 62.4 GeV [8], Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 19.6 GeV [3], and minimum-bias distributions for d+Au and p+p collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV [8]. Here the previously published PHENIX results will be presented along with data from the many new collision systems in a consistent format to facilitate comparisons.…”

“…4) and dE T /dη (Ref. 5) as a function of centrality at √ s N N = 130 GeV at RHIC did not depend linearly on N part but had a non-linear increase of dN ch /dη and dE T /dη with increasing N part illustrated by the fact that (dE T /dη)/N part in Fig. 1(a) is not constant but increases with N part .…”

“…One is that the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) might have come into being in nucleus collisions at current RHIC or LHC energies [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]. This also might be true even in hadron collisions at the early lower energies of Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) and Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN [16] [17] [18] [19] [20].…”
