{"title":"Flattenicity as \"centrality\" estimator in p-Pb collisions simulated with PYTHIA 8.312 Angantyr","authors":"Antonio Ortiz, Gyula Bencedi, Feng Fan","doi":"arxiv-2407.07724","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2407.07724","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper, a \"centrality\" estimator based on flattenicity ($rho$) is\u0000studied in proton-led (p-Pb) collisions at $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV using\u0000PYTHIA 8 Angantyr. Although Angantyr is still under development, the existing\u0000implementation is enough to study the particle production in systems where\u0000medium effects are absent. Firstly, ALICE data on pseudorapidity distributions\u0000as a function of the forward multiplicity (V0M), as well as transverse momentum\u0000distributions of identified particles in non-single diffractive p-Pb\u0000collisions, are compared with Angantyr. Secondly, the average number of binary\u0000nucleon-nucleon ($N_{rm coll}$) collisions for different \"centrality\"\u0000estimators are compared. The studies include the following \"centrality\"\u0000estimators: V0M, $rho$ and midrapidity multiplicity (CL1). On one hand, the\u0000\"centrality\" dependence of $langle N_{rm coll} rangle$ for the $rho$\u0000selection shows the smallest deviations ($<8$ %) with respect to that obtained\u0000using impact parameter $b$; on the other hand, the V0M and CL1 yield huge\u0000deviations (up to a factor 2) with respect to the results using $b$. The\u0000particle ratios and nuclear modification factors ($Q_{rm pPb}$) as a function\u0000of $p_{rm T}$ are also studied. The proton-to-pion ratio exhibits a flow-like\u0000peak at intermediate $p_{rm T}$ (2-8 GeV/$c$) with little or no \"centrality\"\u0000dependence for V0M, $rho$ and $b$ selections. The kaon-to-pion ratio as a\u0000function of $p_{rm T}$ is \"centrality\" independent for the same selections. On\u0000the contrary, for the CL1 class the ratios exhibit the typical behaviour\u0000associated with hard physics. Regarding $Q_{rm pPb}$, a peak at intermediate\u0000$p_{rm T}$ ($2-8$ GeV/$c$) for different particle species is observed when the\u0000\"centrality\" is obtained with $b$ or $rho$. The observed features diminish for\u0000the selections based on V0M and CL1.","PeriodicalId":501206,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Nuclear Experiment","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141588157","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}

Our analysis suggests\u000094.5$pm$0.7% and 48.9$pm$1.8% as the isomeric transition branching ratios of\u0000$^{197m}$Hg (24 h) and $^{195m}$Hg (42 h), respectively. The isomeric ratios\u0000and independent production cross sections of $^{198}$Au, $^{197}$Hg, $^{195}$Hg\u0000and some other Hg, Au and Pt isotopes were also measured down to 6 MeV with\u0000these corrected isomeric transition branching ratios, and compared with\u0000predictions of statistical and pre-equilibrium models by TALYS-2.0 to discuss\u0000spin cuto? parameter dependence. We found the measured isomeric ratios are\u0000better predicted if we reduce the spin cuto? parameter to half or less from\u0000that estimated with the rigid body moment of inertia.","PeriodicalId":501206,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Nuclear Experiment","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141569030","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}
