High Energy Nucleus-Nucleus Interactions at 15, 60, and 200 GeV/nucleon (Physics)

明尼苏达大学、密歇根州立大学、路易斯安那州立大学和波兰克拉科夫核物理研究所之间的合作将继续使用核乳剂作为靶子和探测器来研究相对论核-核碰撞。首先，他们将完成O(16)与银-溴在乳化液中在15、60和100GeV/n能量下中心碰撞的数据的分析和公布。其次，这些研究将扩展到更重的弹丸，SI(28)在15GeV/n和S(32)在60GeV/n和200GeV/n。这一数据对于评估广泛的物理模型将是重要的。例如，那些预测一种名为夸克-胶子等离子体的新形式核物质的存在。研究领域是实验基本粒子物理学。这项研究研究了具有非常高能量的物质的基本构件。这些实验使用加速器来提供实验室中制造的能量最高的粒子。

A collaboration between the University of Minnesota, UM, Louisiana State University and the Institute for Nuclear Physics at Kracow, Poland will continue its studies of relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions using nuclear emulsion as both target and detector. First, they will finish the analysis and publication of data from central collisions of O(16) with Ag-Br, in emulsion, at energies of 15, 60 and 100 GeV/n. Second, these studies will be extended to heavier projectiles, Si(28) at 15 GeV/n and S(32) at 60 and 200 GeV/n. This data will be important for evaluating a wide range of physics models. For example, those which predict the existence of a new form of nuclear matter called quark-gluon plasma. The field of research is that of experimental elementary particle physics. This research studies the basic building blocks of matter at very high energies. The experiments use accelerators which provide the highest energy particles made in the laboratory.
