Collapse of flow: probing the order of the phase transition
No full textWe discuss the present collective flow signals for the phase transition to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the collective flow as a barometer for the equation of state (EoS). We emphasize the importance of the flow excitation function from 1 to 50A GeV: here the hydrodynamicmodel has predicted the collapse of the v1-flow at ~ 10A GeV and of the v2-flow at ~ 40A GeV. In the latter case, this has recently been observed by the NA49 collaboration. Since hadronic rescattering models predict much larger flow than observed at this energy, we interpret this observation as potential evidence for a first order phase transition at high baryon density pB

CHARGED PARTICLE MULTIPLICITIES AT BRAHMS.
Get PDFThis report presents the measurement of charged particle multiplicity densities dN/d{eta} in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions as function of {eta} and the centrality of the collisions. This distributions were extracted from data collected by the BRAHMS collaboration during the first RHK run with gold ions at {radical}s{sub NN} = 130A {center_dot} GeV. The analysis method is described and, results are compared to some model predictions

HIGH PT HADRON SPECTRA AT RAPIDITY.
No full textWe report the measurement of charged hadron production at different pseudo-rapidity values in deuteron+gold as well as proton-proton collisions at {radical}(sNN) = 200GeV at RHIC. The nuclear modification factors R{sub dAU} and R{sub cp} are used to investigate new behaviors in the deuteron+gold system as function of rapidity and the centrality of the collisions respectively

BRAHMS OVERVIEW
No full textA brief review of BRAHMS measurements of bulk particle production in RHIC Au+Au collisions at {radical}s{sub NN} 200GeV is presented, together with some discussion of baryon number transport. Intermediate p{sub T} measurements in different collision systems (Au+Au, d+ Au and p+p) are also discussed in the context of jet quenching and saturation of the gluon density in Au ions at RHIC energies. This report also includes preliminary results for identified particles at forward rapidities in d+Au and Au+Au collisions

PARTICLE PRODUCTION AT RHIC ENERGIES.
No full textThis paper presents recent results from the BRAHMS experiment at RHIC; including results on particle production in rapidity space extending from y = 0 to y {approx} 3 and on the transverse momentum distribution of fully identified charged particles. These results were obtained from the 5% most central Au-Au collisions recorded during RHIC Run-2 at {radical}(s{sub NN}) = 200 GeV

FORWARD PHYSICS AND BRAHMS RESULTS.
Get PDFWe report here the BRAHMS measurements of particle production in d+Au and p+p collisions at RHIC. The results presented here are compared to previous p+A measurements at lower energies in fixed target mode. Some preliminary results on abundances of identified particles at high rapidity are also presented

BRAHMS RESULTS IN THE CONTEXT OF SATURATION AND QUANTUM EVOLUTION.
No full textWe report BRAHMS results from RHIC d+Au and p+p collisions at {radical}S{sub NN} = 200GeV. A remarkable change in the nuclear modification factor R{sub dAu} is seen as the pseudorapidity of the detected charged hadrons changes from zero at mid-rapidity to 3.2 at the most forward angle studied during the 2003 run. For pseudorapidity {eta} > 1 the suppression of the R{sub cp} factor is more pronounced in the sample of central events in contrast to the behavior at mid-rapidity where the central events show higher enhancement compared to a semi-central sample. These results are consistent with a saturated Au wave function strongly affected by quantum evolution at higher values of rapidity

PROTON AND ANTI-PROTON DISTRIBUTIONS AT RHIC.
No full textProperties of transverse momentum spectra and rapidity dependence of protons and anti-protons in Au-Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN}) = 200 GeV are discussed. The net-proton yields are approximately constant at |y| < 1 and increases towards y {approx} 3. The mean rapidity loss is estimated to be in the range of 1.9 < {delta}y < 2.4
