High-density (participant region)

Why p-/p+ ratio ?

r/r0~(g+1) 2.3 @ 300 MeV/nucleon

Naive pictureThe symmetry pressure in high density region of neutron-rich system expels neutrons and attracts protons.

Prediction of transport theory


Usually we assumeNN Inelastic Scattering • Most dominant channel for pion

production• Threshold energy ~ 290 MeV in laboratory pp• p-/p+=(5 Ｎ 2+NZ)/(5Z2+NZ)~(N/Z)2

(D dominance model)• Cycle of pion recreation NN→NN NN→ND ND→NN 　　 D→Np Np→D

Need more information on various observables

Japanese sub-group started pion experiments using HIMAC from 2007.

RI-beam >> require large acceptance Usual beam >> small acceptance may be

usable


Before start data taking of SpRIT

Using mass-symmetric collisions so far (N/Z)participant≈(N/Z)proj ≈(N/Z)targ

Over-simplified the situation Impossible to distinguish different moving source

frames, like NN cm, participant cm, nucleus-nucleus cm etc.

Better study mass-asymmetric collisions

How well overlap?

At 400MeV/nucleon

Isotropic emissionfrom single moving source

But , very slow!!! not mid-rapidity


Differential p-/p+ ratio

Weak angular dependence

Clear energy dependence

400 MeV/nucleon

600 MeV/nucleon

800 MeV/nucleon

Simple Coulomb effect?Ratio alone can be fitted by functional form ofMaheswari et al. (NP A628 (1998) 669), but differential cross sections seem to be imposible.

Is this source the same ones observed in symmetric-mass reactions?


Slope parameters are consistent with old measurements

Measured doubly differential cross sections of p+ and p- for the 28Si + In reactions at 400, 600 and 800 MeV/nucleons.

They are emitted isotropically from the single moving source, whose velocity is quite slower than the mid rapidity.

The differential pion ratios represented in such moving frames overlap each other at each incident energy.

PHITS fails to reproduce the observed absolute cross section, the angular dependence of the cross sections and the charged pion ratio.
