This database will be searchable and cross-indexed with relevant publications, including published detector descriptions. Since this database will be a community resource, it requires the high-energy nuclear physics community’s financial and manpower support. This database should eventually contain all published data from the Bevalac, AGS and SPS to RHIC and LHC energies, proton-proton to nucleus-nucleus collisions as well as other relevant systems, and all measured observables. Such a database would have tremendous scientific payoff as it makes systematic studies easier and allows simpler benchmarking of theoretical models to a broad range of old and new experiments. Furthermore, there is a growing need for compilations of high-energy nuclear data for applications including stockpile stewardship, technology development for inertial confinement fusion and target and source development for upcoming facilities such as the Next Linear Collider. To enhance the utility of this database, we propose periodically performing evaluations of the data and summarizing the results in topical reviews.","PeriodicalId":201208,"journal":{"name":"Acta Physica Hungarica A) Heavy Ion Physics","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127686375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PHENIX Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has measured the production of J/Ψ particles in d+Au collisions at center-of-mass energies of 200 GeV per nucleon via its lepton decay channels (dielectrons and dimuons). In 2003, approximately 2000 J/Ψ particles from the d+Au data set (and several hundred in p+p) has allowed for measures of its rapidity (between -2.2 and +2.4) and momentum (between 0.5 and 5 GeV/c) distributions. In particular, the ratio of the rapidity distributions of J/Ψ produced in d+Au and p+p collisions is measured as a function of the d+Au impact parameter (centrality dependence of the collision). These preliminary data will ultimately help us understand nuclear effects at this center-of-mass energy (including shadowing) in cold nuclear matter. In addition to comparisons to theoretical models, these data are also compared to the equivalent measurements of J/Ψ produced in lower energy p–A collisions from Fermilab.","PeriodicalId":201208,"journal":{"name":"Acta Physica Hungarica A) Heavy Ion Physics","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116239062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
