Abstract

Correlations of positive pions are investigated in the target fragmentation region of 200 A GeV ¹⁶O + nucleus collisions. The pions are measured with the Plastic Ball detector in the WA80 experiment at the CERN SPS. The detailed behaviour of the fitted parameters on rapidity, centrality and the number of spectator nucleons is studied. The data indicate a large source in central O + Au collisions for ylab ⩽ 0. The observations are compatible with a substantial amount of rescattering in the target.

Effect of ultrasound on the properties of rice bran protein and its chlorogenic acid complex
2021, Ultrasonics Sonochemistry
Citation Excerpt :
Ultrasonic modification is based on the principle that ultrasonic waves can generate mechanical vibrations between particles in the medium. Such vibrations release a certain amount of energy, which can trigger the interaction of medium particles to produce thermal, cavitation, and mechanical effects [12]. The cavitation effect, as a key aspect of ultrasound, produces strong micro jet and shear forces [13].
Ultrasound technology was used to treat rice bran protein (RBP), and the structural and functional properties of ultrasonically treated RBP (URBP) and its chlorogenic acid (CA) complex were studied. When ultrasonic power of 200 W was applied for 10 min, the maximum emission peak λ_max of the URBP-CA complex in the fluorescence spectrum was red-shifted by 3.6 nm compared to that of the untreated complex. The atomic force microscope (AFM) analysis indicated that the surface roughness of the complex was minimized (3.89 nm) at the ultrasonic power of 200 W and treatment time of 10 min. Under these conditions, the surface hydrophobicity (H₀) was 1730, the contents of the α-helix and β-sheet in the complex were 2.97% and 6.17% lower than those in the untreated sample, respectively, the particle size decreased from 106 nm to 18.2 nm, and the absolute value of the zeta-potential increased by 11.0 mV. Therefore, ultrasonic treatment and the addition of CA changed the structural and functional properties of RBP. Moreover, when ultrasonic power of 200 W was applied for 10 min, the solubility, emulsifying activity index (EAI), and emulsion stability index (ESI) were 68%, 126 m²/g, and 37 min, respectively.
Multi-pion Bose-Einstein correlations in high energy heavy-ion collisions
1998, Nuclear Physics A
Multi-pion correlations and wavepacket size effects on the pion multiplicity distribution, pion momentum distribution and two-pion interferometry are studied. It is shown that multi-pion Bose-Einstein correlations and the wavepacket size cause an abundance of pions at low momentum, increase the mean pion multiplicity and decrease both the apparent radius of the source and the coherent source parameter derived from two-pion interferometry.
Pion-interferometry analysis in relativistic heavy-ion collisions based on the VENUS model
1994, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The source size in relativistic heavy-ion collisions obtained by pion-interferometry analyses based on the VENUS model is compared with the actual source size of the model and experimental measurements. The predicted transverse source size is larger than the size of the projectile nuclei, but smaller than the preliminary findings from a recent experiment in the central rapidity region. The effect of rescattering on the source size is also discussed.
Pion interferometry in relativistic heavy ions: a review
1992, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The basic principle of pion interferometry is recalled, i.e. the extraction of the pion source size, shape, lifetime and coherence using the two pion correlation due to the symmetric multi-boson wave function. A brief historical survey of the field is given, with the mention that a proper treatment of interferometry deals with the complete spacetime-momentum structure of the source. The experimental methods are presented, and a review of results for relativistic heavy ion reactions is given.
