Multiplicity and Pseudorapidity Distributions of Photons inAu+AuCollisions atsNN=62.4GeV

Abstract: We present the first measurement of pseudorapidity distribution of photons in the region 2.3 < or = eta < or = 3.7 for different centralities in Au+Au collisions at square root of (S(NN)) = 62.4 GeV. We find that the photon yield scales with the number of participating nucleons at all collision centralities studied. The pseudorapidity distribution of photons, dominated by pi0 decays, has been compared to those of charged pions, photons, and inclusive charged particles from heavy-ion and nucleon-nucleon collisi… Show more

“…the probability distribution of obtaining a definite number of produced or emitted particles, still contains information about particle correlations. There have been several important observations and physics messages conveyed by scientists by studying the multiplicity distribution of produced or emitted particles using a variety of projectile beams with a wide span of energy in recent times [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…About 90% of the inclusive photon come from the decay of π 0 mesons [13]. In this section, we discuss how the v 2 of photons and π 0 compares as a function of collision centrality, p T and η at √ s NN = 2.76 TeV (chosen as a representative case) for Pb+Pb collisions at forward rapidity (2.3 < η < 3.9).…”

“…Since more than 90% of the inclusive photons come from the decay of π 0 mesons, we will first study how the decay effect decreases the measured v 2 for photons relative to those of the parent π 0 . PMD-like detectors have limitations in the form of finite-particle counting efficiency and also the purity of the photon sample [13]. We will discuss the effect of these on the measured v 2 .…”

“…In this analysis we generated the pseudorapidity distribution of inclusive photons at forward rapidities (2.3 < η < 3.9) in p-Pb collisions at √ s NN = 8.16 TeV using the HIJING [4] Monte Carlo event generator. The photons are detected by the Photon Multiplicity Detector (PMD) [5,6]. The raw pseudorapidity distribution of inclusive photons was corrected by following two methods: (i) Efficiency-purity method (ii) Bayesian unfolding method.…”
