EVENT BY EVENT AVERAGES IN HEAVY ION COLLISIONS

Creators

Description

Na49 (Pb+Pb, CERN), PHENIX and STAR (Au+Au, BNL) have presented measurements of the event-by-event average pT (denoted MpT) in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Event-by-event averages are most useful to resolve the case of two or several classes of events with e.g. different temperature parameters. The distribution of MpT is discussed, with emphasis on the case of statistically independent emission according to the semi-inclusive pT and charged multiplicity distributions. Deviations from statistically independent emission are quantified in terms of a simple two component model, with the individual components being Gamma distributions
