rho0 Production and Possible Modification in Au+Au and p+p Collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 200 GeV
J. Adams
Abstract
We report results on rho(770)0 -> pi+pi- production at midrapidity in p+p and peripheral Au+Au collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 200 GeV. This is the first direct measurement of rho(770)0 -> pi+pi- in heavy-ion collisions. The measured rho0 peak in the invariant mass distribution is shifted by ~40 MeV/c2 in minimum bias p+p interactions and ~70 MeV/c2 in peripheral Au+Au collisions. The rho0 mass shift is dependent on transverse momentum and multiplicity. The modification of the rho0 meson mass, width, and shape due to phase space and dynamical effects are discussed.
