Consequences of energy conservation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Abstract
Complete characterization of particle production and emission in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is in general not feasible experimentally. This work demonstrates, however, that the availability of essentially complete pseudorapidity distributions for charged particles allows for a reliable estimate of the average transverse momenta and energy of emitted particles by requiring energy conservation in the process. The results of such an analysis for Au+Au collisions at sqrtsNN= 130 and 200 GeV are compared with measurements of mean-pT and mean-ET in regions where such measurements are available. The mean-pT dependence on pseudorapidity for Au+Au collisions at 130 and 200 GeV is given for different collision centralities.
