Initial Energy Density of Gluons Produced in Very-High-Energy Nuclear Collisions
Open accessAbstract
In very-high-energy nuclear collisions, the initial energy of produced gluons per unit area per unit rapidity, $(\mathrm{dE}/{L}^{2})/d\ensuremath{\eta}$, is equal to $f({g}^{2}\ensuremath{\mu}L)({g}^{2}\ensuremath{\mu}{)}^{3}/{g}^{2}$, where ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{2}$ is proportional to the gluon density per unit area of the colliding nuclei. For an SU(2) gauge theory, a nonperturbative computation of $f({g}^{2}\ensuremath{\mu}L)$ shows that it varies rapidly for small ${g}^{2}\ensuremath{\mu}L$ but varies only by $\ensuremath{\sim}25%$, from $0.208\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.004$ to $0.257\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.005$, for a wide range $35.36$-- $296.98$ in ${g}^{2}\ensuremath{\mu}L$. This includes the range relevant for collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Extrapolating to SU(3), we estimate $dE/d\ensuremath{\eta}$ for Au-Au collisions in the central region at RHIC and LHC.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
