Nuclear gluon shadowing via dileptons from open charm decay in p+A at s=200 AGeV
Ziwei Lin, Miklos Gyulassy
Abstract
Opposite-sign lepton pairs (ee,eμ and μμ) from open charm decay are proposed as a measure of nuclear shadowing effects. Via an approximate scaling the ratio of the dilepton spectra from p+A to those from pp reflects the shadowing function well. We show that the required measurements are feasible at the Relativistic Heavy ion Collider (RHIC) by considering the backgrounds according to the proposed PHENIX detector geometry.
