Centrality dependence of Levy-stable two-pion Bose-Einstein correlations in SQUARE ROOTsNN=200 GeV Au + Au collisions

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The PHENIX experiment measured the centrality dependence of two-pion Bose-Einstein correlation functions in root sNN = 200 GeV Au + Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The data are well represented by Levy-stable source distributions. The extracted source parameters are the correlation-strength parameter lambda, the Levy index of stability a, and the Levy-scale parameter R as a function of transverse mass m(T) and centrality. The lambda(m(T)) parameter is constant at larger values of m(T), but decreases as m(T) decreases. The Levy-scale parameter R(m(T)) decreases with mT and exhibits proportionality to the length scale of the nuclear overlap region. The Levy exponent alpha(m(T)) is independent of m(T) within uncertainties in each investigated centrality bin, but shows a clear centrality dependence. At all centralities, the Levy exponent a is significantly different from that of Gaussian ( alpha= 2) or Cauchy ( alpha = 1) source distributions. Comparisons to the predictions of Monte-Carlo simulations of resonance-decay chains show that, in all but the most peripheral centrality class (50%-60%), the obtained results are inconsistent with the measurements, unless a significant reduction of the in-medium mass of the eta meson is included. In each centrality class, the best value of the in-medium eta mass is compared to the mass of the. meson, as well as to several theoretical predictions that consider restoration of U-A(1) symmetry in hot hadronic matter.
