Centrality determination of Au + Au collisions at 1.23A GeV with HADES

Abstract: The centrality determination for Au + Au collisions at 1.23A GeV, as measured with HADES at the GSI-SIS18, is described. In order to extract collision geometry related quantities, such as the average impact parameter or number of participating nucleons, a Glauber Monte Carlo approach is employed. For the application of this model to collisions at this relatively low centre-of-mass energy of √ s NN = 2.42 GeV special investigations were performed. As a result a well defined procedure to determine centrality cla… Show more

“…We simulate central Au+Au collisions with impact parameter b = 0 − 3.4 fm, roughly corresponding to the 0 − 5% centrality class [66,67], from √ s N N = 2.4, GeV to √ s N N = 200 GeV, covering a range of energies relevant for the HADES [68] at GSI, NA49 [69] at CERN and RHIC/BES [70] at BNL experiments. In Table I we provide the details for the coarse graining simulations.…”

“…As a compromise we use henceforth b = 9 fm to avoid subtleties of certain impact parameter averaging procedures according to weighting ∝ b db. In fact, Table II in [22] attributes the 0 -40 % centrality class (bullets) and the free N N threshold energies of K ± and φ mesons (dashed lines). Right panel:…”

“…8 of [22] indicates that an impact parameter range 7 -11 fm centered at 9 fm corresponds to the centrality class 30 -40 %. (Table II in [22] quotes a mean impact parameter of 8.71 fm for that centrality class.) Therefore, the selection of one "representative impact parameter" must be considered with caution.…”

“…The role of a meson is also highlighted by the measurement [13]. It was performed by colliding a deuterium beam with a kinetic energy 1.25 GeV and selecting events with a quasifree neutron through the proton detection in a forward hodoscope.…”
