Dynamics of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

摘要: The boundaries of the relativistic heavy ion collision domain are loosely defined. Obviously, lower limit is certainly at an incident beam energy (per nucleon) larger than highest discussed by Prof. M. Lefort in his lectures,2 about 44 MeV/A. upper separating and ultrarelativistic collisions (discussed elsewhere G. Baym3) even more diffuse. As a convenient but perhaps not very meaningful guide, we will use present operating accelerators. Bevalac has accelerated for now twelve years ions up to Ar from 250 MeV/A 2.1 GeV/A (which corresponds Lorentz factor lab frame γinc = 1.26 3.23).Very recently Nb La beams have been Au U going be exploited near future. Synchrophasotron Dubna energetic available nowadays: 4 GeV/A, unfortunately, only light (up 12C) available. In last months or so, C O Saturn machine Saclay around 1 GeV/A. Ganil France MSU should cover range between 100 MeV 400 per nucleon, they just starting now. most data obtained Berkeley, our purpose here discuss physics range, with some excursions regime.
