Abstract

We discuss the structures of exotic candidates and why it is interesting to measure them in heavy ion collisions. We take the X(3872) and Tcc to illustrate our point.

Search for strange quark matter in high-energy heavy-ion collisions
Upul Sonnadara

Physics Letters B, 1990

We have initiated a search for strange quark matter in the products of 14.6 GeV/c per nucleon 28Si collisions with nuclei, utilizing the apparatus of E-814 at Brookhaven National Laboratory's AGS. We report the first results of this search, which is sensitive to particles with charge-to-mass ratios between 0.1 and 0.3 (GeV/c2)−1 that are produced within approximately ±0.5 units of the center of mass rapidity.

Opportunities for new physics searches with heavy ions at colliders
Aditya Upreti

2022

Opportunities for searches for phenomena beyond the Standard Model (BSM) using heavyions beams at high energies are outlined. Different BSM searches proposed in the last years in collisions of heavy ions, mostly at the Large Hadron Collider, are summarized. A few concrete selected cases are reviewed including searches for axion-like particles, anomalous τ electromagnetic moments, magnetic monopoles, and dark photons. Expectations for the achievable sensitivities of these searches in the coming years are given. Studies of CP violation in hot and dense QCD matter and connections to ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays physics are also mentioned. * White paper submitted to the Proceedings of the US Community Study on the Future of Particle Physics (Snowmass).

Features of particle multiplicities and strangeness production in central heavy ion collisions between 1.7A and 158A GeV/c
Antti Keranen

Physical Review C, 2001

A systematic study is performed of fully integrated particle multiplicities in central Au-Au and Pb-Pb collisions at beam momenta of 1.7A GeV/c, 11.6A GeV/c (Au-Au) and 158A GeV/c (Pb-Pb) by using a statistical-thermal model. The close similarity of the colliding systems makes it possible to study heavy ion collisions under definite initial conditions over a range of centre-of-mass energies covering more than one order of magnitude. In order to further study the behaviour of strangeness production, an updated study of Si-Au collisions at 14.6A GeV is also presented. The data analysis has been performed with two completely independent numerical algorithms giving closely consistent results. We conclude that a thermal model description of particle multiplicities, with additional strangeness suppression, is possible for each energy. The degree of chemical equilibrium of strange particles and the relative production of strange quarks with respect to u and d quarks are higher than in e + e − , pp and pp collisions at comparable and even at lower energies. The behaviour of strangeness production as a function of centre-of-mass energy and colliding system is presented and discussed. The average energy per hadron in the comoving frame is close to 1 GeV per hadron despite the fact that the energy increases more than 10-fold. PACS:24.10.Pa,25.75.Dw,25.75.-q

Few-Body Systems

The physics of exotic hadrons is revisited and reviewed, with emphasis on flavour configurations which have not yet been investigated. The constituent quark model of multiquark states is discussed in some detail, as it can serve as a guide for more elaborate approaches.

Heavy-Ion Collisions: Experimental Highlights
Raimond Snellings

Nuclear Physics A, 2009

Lattice QCD predicts a phase transition between hadronic matter and a system of deconfined quarks and gluons (the Quark Gluon Plasma) at high energy densities. Our current understanding of this new state of matter will be discussed with two key results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).

Search for neutral strange quark matter in high energy heavy ion collisions
BS kumar

Physical Review C, 1999

We present results of a search for neutral strange quark matter ͑strangelets͒ in 11.6A GeV/c AuϩPb reactions from the 1995 run of experiment E864 at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. We have sampled approximately 1.3 billion 10% most central AuϩPb interactions and have observed no statistically significant signal for neutral strangelet states with baryon number in the range 6ϽAϽ100. We set upper limits on the production of these exotic states at the level of 8ϫ10 Ϫ8 per central collision for mass Ͼ20 GeV/c 2. These limits are the first limits reported on the production of heavy neutral strangelets. They complement searches for positively and negatively charged strangelets also conducted by our collaboration. We discuss the implications of these results on strangelet production mechanisms and the stability of strange quark matter.

Exotic massive hadrons and ultra-high energy cosmic rays
Edward Kolb

1998

We investigate the proposal that primary cosmic rays of energy above the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff are exotic massive strongly interacting particles (uhecrons). We study the properties of air showers produced by uhecrons and find that masses in excess of about 50 GeV are inconsistent with the highest energy event observed. We also estimate that with sufficient statistics a uhecron of mass as low as 10 GeV may be distinguished from a proton.

$X(3872)$ and $T_{cc}$: structures and productions in heavy ion collisions
Sungsik Noh, Aaron Park, S. Lee

2022

The internal structure of recently discovered tetraquarks-X(3872) and Tcc is theoretically examined. We argue that the X(3872) apparently is a loosely bound molecular state while Tcc could either be a compact multiquark state or a loosely bound molecular state. Given the loosely bound molecular state configuration, both tetraquarks' geometrical structure will be similar to that of the deuteron, a molecular state of two nucleons. Such an analogy allows us to calculate differential cross section of tetraquarks produced in heavy ion collisions using the coalescence model that successfully reproduces deutron's cross section out of proton spectra. The ratio of the X(3872) yield obtained from our method to the ψ(2S) yield obtained from statistcal hadronization model method is calculated to be 0.806 ± 0.234, which is a factor of 2.47 larger than that obtained by using statistical model predictions for both particles and in line with the data from the CMS experiment. Furthermore, we suggest the prospective measurements of the full transverse momentum spectra of X(3872) and Tcc will be able to confirm their molecular structure because results from compact multiquark configuration and molecular configuration are markedly different.

Search for strange quark matter produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions
M. Bertaina

Physical Review C, 2001

We present the final results from Experiment 864 of a search for charged and neutral strange quark matter produced in interactions of 11.5 GeV/c per nucleon Au beams with P t or P b targets. Searches were made for strange quark matter with A ≥ 5. Approximately 30 billion 10% most central collisions were sampled and no strangelet states with A ≤ 100 were observed. We find 90% confidence level upper limits of approximately 10 −8 per central collision for both charged and neutral strangelets. These limits are for strangelets with proper lifetimes greater than 50 ns. Also limits for H 0 -d and pineut production are given. The above limits are compared with the predictions of various models. The yields of light nuclei from coalescence are measured and a penalty factor for the addition of one nucleon to the coalescing nucleus is determined. This is useful in gauging the significance of our upper limits and also in planning future searches for strange quark matter.

An overview is given on the experimental study of physics with relativistic heavy-ion collisions, with emphasis on recent measurements at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The focus here is laid on p-Pb collisions at the LHC and the corresponding d-Au measurements at RHIC. The topics touched are "collectivity and approach to equilibrium", "high p T and jets", "heavy flavour and electroweak bosons" and "search for exotic objects".
