We present charged-particle multiplicities as a function of pseudorapidity and collision centrality for the 197Au+197Au reaction at square root[s(NN)] = 200 GeV. For the 5% most central events we obtain dN(ch)/deta/(eta = 0) = 625+/-55 and N(ch)/(-4.7< or =eta < or =4.7) = 4630 +/- 370, i.e., 14% and 21% increases, respectively, relative to square root[s(NN)] = 130 GeV collisions. Charged-particle production per pair of participant nucleons is found to increase from peripheral to central collisions around midrapidity. These results constrain current models of particle production at the highest RHIC energy.
我们给出了在(\sqrt{s(NN)} = 200) GeV下(^{197}Au + ^{197}Au)反应中带电粒子多重数作为赝快度和碰撞中心度的函数。对于最中心的5%事件,我们得到(dN(ch)/d\eta/(\eta = 0) = 625 \pm 55)以及(N(ch)/(-4.7 \leq \eta \leq 4.7) = 4630 \pm 370),即相对于(\sqrt{s(NN)} = 130) GeV碰撞分别增加了14%和21%。发现在快度中点附近,每对参与核子的带电粒子产额从周边碰撞到中心碰撞增加。这些结果限制了当前在最高相对论重离子对撞机(RHIC)能量下的粒子产生模型。
