String fusion model“In case of AA collisions with growing energy and atomic number the number of strings grows and one has also to take into account the string fusion.”

• Each cluster in the overlaps of strings could be considered as a new string with new properties

• The color field of cluster is the vector sum of fields of strings

• Individual string colors may be oriented in an arbitrary manner, then

• Last formula could be modified for not fully overlapping strings but arbitrary overlapping

Long-range correlations

A.Capella et al., Phys.Rep. 236,225(1994)

Definitions

16

Long-range correlations

• - the correlation between charged particle multiplicities in backward (B) and forward (F) rapidity windows

• - the correlation between the event mean transverse momentum in B and multiplicity in F

• -the correlation between the event mean transverse momenta in B and F

• - the correlation between the event net charges in B and F

Analysis techniqueEvent cuts: 1. T22. WFA 1.5 μs 3. ZCharge (by Emil) 4. BPD 5. Fitted Vertex 6. Fit Quality 7. Number of good vertex track

> 2 8. Z coordinate +/- 5cm

Track cuts: 1. Vertex track status and has

track2. Impact parameter X < 4cm Y

< 2cm3. VTPC clusters > 14 or

GapTPC > 44. All TPC clusters > 145. Pt < 1.5 GeV/c6. P > 300 MeV/c7. Acceptance map (new)Method (based on MC data from EOS):

1. Loop through all simulated primary tracks.2. Fill 3D histogram of generated tracks with (φsim, pTsim, ηsim)3. Loop through all primary tracks from RecEvent passed track cuts4. Fill 3D histogram of selected tracks (φrec, pTrec, ηrec)5. Calculate efficiency 3D histogram by dividing selected by generated.6. Calculate acceptance map:For each (φ,pT, η) bin in efficiency histogram: if efficiency is < 0.9 or if there is < 20 tracks in generated, the bin is not acceptedStill no MC corrections due to lxbatch quota!

Results

• Testing acceptance cut (changing binomization, critical efficiency, matching etc.)

• Comparison with generated MC data• MC-based corrections• Centrality analysis (with new centrality classes from E. Kaptur)• Azimuthal analysis• Systematics

Plans

• Long-Range correlations analysis is going on for BeBe 150GeV/c.

• new Acceptance map is done• new Comparison to reconstructed MC (EPOS) with acceptance map is

done
