Abstract

We use open charm production to estimate how far we can see back in time in high-energy hadron-hadron collisions. We analyze the transverse momentum distributions of the identified D mesons from pp, p–Pb and A–A collisions at the ALICE and STAR experiments covering the energy range from

sNN=200GeV

up to 7 TeV. Within a non-extensive statistical framework, the common Tsallis parameters for D mesons represent higher temperature and more degrees of freedom than that of light-flavour hadrons. Assuming Bjorken-expansion, the production of D mesons corresponds to a significantly earlier proper time, τ _D = (0.18 ± 0.06)τ _LF.

在使用粲强子的高能对撞中，我们能看到多远的过去？

我们利用开放粲子的产生来估算在高能强子-强子对撞中我们能看到多远的时间。我们分析了在 ALICE 和 STAR 实验中从 pp、p-Pb 和 A-A 对撞中发现的 D 介子的横动量分布，其能量范围从 sNN=200GeV 到 7 TeV。在非广延性统计框架内，D介子的普通Tsallis参数比轻味强子代表了更高的温度和更多的自由度。假设Bjorken膨胀，D介子的产生对应于一个明显更早的适当时间，τD = (0.18 ± 0.06)τLF 。
