16 May 2009 | | Abstract: | We developed a Monte Carlo event generator for production of nucleon
configurations in complex nuclei consistently including effects of
Nucleon-Nucleon (NN) correlations. Our approach is based on the Metropolis
search for configurations satisfying essential constraints imposed by short-
and long-range NN correlations, guided by the findings of realistic
calculations of one- and two-body densities for medium-heavy nuclei. The
produced event generator can be used for Monte Carlo (MC) studies of pA and AA
collisions. We perform several tests of consistency of the code and comparison
with previous models, in the case of high energy proton-nucleus scattering on
an event-by-event basis, using nucleus configurations produced by our code and
Glauber multiple scattering theory both for the uncorrelated and the correlated
configurations; fluctuations of the average number of collisions are shown to
be affected considerably by the introduction of NN correlations in the target
nucleus. We also use the generator to estimate maximal possible gluon nuclear
shadowing in a simple geometric model. | | Source: | arXiv, 0905.2670 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
