  1. 1 EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FOR HADRONIC DECONFINEMENT In p-p Collisions at 1.8 TeV * - L. Gutay (FNAL, E-735 Collaboration Purdue, Duke, Iowa, Norte Dame, Wisconsin) We have measured deconfined volumes, 4.4 < V < 13.0 fm3 , produced by a one dimensional (1D) expansion. These volumes are directly proportional to the charged particle pseudorapidity densities 6.75 < dNc / dh < 20.2 . The hadronization temperature is T= 179.5 G5 (syst) MeV. Using Bjorken's 1D model, the hadronization energy density is eF = 1.10 G0.26(stat) GeV/fm3corresponding to an excitation of 24.8G6.2(stat) quark-gluon degrees of freedom. Asss * Phys. Lett.

  2. 2 EXPERIMENTAL SET UP E-735

  3. 3 Experiment E-735 was located in the Cf in the Interaction region of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL). The p-p interaction was surrounded by a cylindrical drift chamber which in turn was covered by a single layer hodoscope including endcaps. Multiplicity range : 10 < N c < 200 Pseudorapidity Range : -3.25 < h < 3.25 Momentum Range : 0.1 < pt< 1.5 GeV/c Spectrometer Coverage : -0.37 < h < 1.00 , Dj X 200 Dj is the azimuthal angle around the beam direction. -

  10. 10 For a relativistic massless ideal gas above the phase transition the maximum expansion velocity, responsible for most of the longitudinal expansion, is likely to be the sound velocity vs2 = 1/3 The expansion time t = z / vs = lRRG / vs T = ( 3z 2 - z 2 ) 1/2 = ˆ2 z Tf =‡ ‡lRhdNc/dh The proper time at hadronization (3/2) (dNC / dh) (3/2) (1/‡2 ) np= Pions/fm3 = pt22 lRhdNc/dh pt22 lRh np = 1.64 G 0.33(stat) pions / fm3 Independent of dNc/dh

  11. 11 Temperature Determination The negative particle ptspectrum is used to measure the temperature The slope parameter (b-1) i.e. "Temperature" is obtained from a fit of the invariant cross-section d2 Nc/ dy d2pt to the function A exp(-bpt) for 0.15 £ pt £ 0.45 GeV/c. Tslope value is constant to ± 1% for 6.75 < dNc /dh< 20.2 Tslope = 179.5 ± 5 (syst)

  12. Relative Particle Yields 12 Fig. 4. Relative meson and hyperon yields versus rest mass. For the mesons, the inverse slope parameter Tm = 162±5 MeV, and for the hyperons Tm = 173±12 MeV.

  16. 16 CONCLUSIONS * We have measured the deconfined hadronic volumes produced by a one dimensional isentropic expansion. * The freeze out no. of pions / fm3 np = 1.64 ± 0.33 . * The hadronization temperature is Tslope = 179 ± 5 MeV. * The freeze out energy density is ef =1.10 ± 0.26 GeV/ fm 3. * The number of DOF in the source is 23.5±6, 24.8±6.2 In general agreement with those expected for QGP. * The measured constant np ,ef, Tslope values characterize the quark-gluon to hadron thermal phase transition.
