Received 28 March 1989 (Revised 3 July 1989) Production of pionic modes in heavy-ion collisions of energy E/nucleon -1 GeV is substantially enhanced by interactions of the pions with the medium. These interactions provide a momentum-dependent index of refraction for the pions, making Cherenkov radiation of them possible for nucleons traversing such media. Schematic and realistic calculations of these processes are presented.

Abstract:

1. Introduction Studies of pionic many-body degrees of freedom in high-energy heavy-ion collisions were initiated by Migdal ‘) and by Gyulassi and Greiner ‘). The importance of pionic interactions with the nuclear medium was pointed out by Mishustin et al. 3, who suggested that at energies - 1 GeV/nucleon in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, pions could carry an appreciable part of the entropy. The in medium lowering of the pion energies makes it possible for the pions to carry much more entropy than if their energy obeyed the free particle relation o = dk* + rnt . Friedman et al. “) worked out the thermodynamics of the interacting pions. Based on this work,

and a schematic model

Consider the interaction of a projectile nucleon with a piece of nuclear matter. We begin from the nucleon self-energy E involving a dressed pion in the medium, as shown in fig. 1. Here the projectile nucleon with four-momentum k = (E(k), k) and kinetic energy a(k) = E(k) - M passes through nuclear matter and transfers a four-momentum q to the pionic mode. Keeping only Im E, which puts the particles in the intermediate state on shell, we can evaluate the effective cross section per nucleon for “pisobar” production. (We consider first the in-medium normal modes composed of the coupled pion and A-isobar-nucleon hole and call these a pisobar. 7)): a(k, P) = -

where p is the density and v = Ik]/E is the velocity of the projectile (relative to the medium). In the actual nuclear collision, the propagating nucleon should be thought of as part of the projectile nucleus in the center-of-mass system of the two colliding ions, the system in which the total baryon current is zero. We should point out that the formula (1) is valid for scattering of an external particle in a system close to equilibrium. In the actual nucleus-nucleus collision, pion production takes place most actively during the non-equilibrium phase. As noted in ref. *), a self-consistent treatment incorporating the decay rate of the non-equilibrium system tends to reduce pion production rates. Using pointlike pseudo-vector E becomes (with f= 1):

The primary point of interest is the appearance of the (complex) pion self-energy n( q; p) which summarizes the pion-nuclear many-body interactions. Pionic modes are then determined by the singularities of the dressed pion propagator [qi-q2VI’,-n(q)]-‘. The integration over q. in eq. (2) is carried out by performing a Wick rotation so as to pick up the contribution from the nucleon pole at I - e(k - q) + 23. This puts the intermediate nucleon on shell. Renormalization at the nucleon quasiparticle pole, which would come in higher order, is neglected here. One obtains

w =

E(k)_&(k_q).

(5)

We will continue to evaluate (4) within a simplified model of the pion self-energy II in which the pion couples to the leading A-hole excitations, as described in refs. 4-7). In our schematic calculation we first neglect the coupling to the nucleon particlehole continuum. The latter will be quite temperature dependent, since temperatures* T 2 50 MeV are obtained in GeV heavy-ion collisions, and the temperature dependence complicates their treatment ‘). Furthermore large local field corrections ‘) (i.e. repulsive spin-isospin interactions gh,a, * u27 * ~~ with gf*i,.,- 0.7-0.9) tend to inhibit the build up of coherence in the nuclear particle-hole sector. We put off dealing with the particle-hole branch until later. At this stage we keep only the pisobar branch from the pionic dispersion relation in ref. “); in other words, we use the spectrum w(q) = Jq2+ mf,, + Re 17 of ref. 4), but we shall employ 19) gkd = 0.4 local field correction. rather than the g&, = 0.6 used there for the nucleon-isobar The dispersion relation for w(q) of ref. “) is repeated here as fig. 2. Let us now return to the integral (4). We drop the Pauli exclusion factor which is not important at large projectile momenta \kl. One observes that the integrand -q21m17(o,q)/[(w2-W2(q))2+(Im17(w,q))2] develops its maximum at the pisobar pole, i.e. where w = I--(k-q) equals w(q) =Jq2+ mt+Re n(o, q). In this region we can then write

Of course, r is q-dependent, but in our first schematic calculation, we shall take a narrow width approximation ($ < m,). One sees in eq.

The integral over the angle 0, where cos 19= k^*4, is easily carried out in the small r approximation. The step function @(e(k) - e( k - q)) in eq. (4) limits the values of cos 0 to the interval [q/2k, I]. One finds:

This replaces the part of the free inelastic NN cross section which comes from spin-longitudinal interactions and which amounts to roughly one half of a,,(inelas800 MeV. The transverse part is expected to remain relatively tic) = 20 mb at Elab = unaffected, so we arrive at a total inelastic cross section a(inelastic) ~42 mb in medium. This means a mean free path of only about 0.7 fm for p = 2p,, just from the production of pionic modes, without bringing in the quasi-elastic two-body cross section. Carrying out the calculation along the above lines for energy E = 1 GeV/nucleon gives a(inelastic) = 60 mb, the inelastic cross section increasing rapidly with energy. From the condition (10) it is seen that pisobar formation is efficient for the stopping because relatively large momenta can be transferred due to w(q) being kept small by medium dependent effects. Of course, for q - 4m,, as can be seen from fig. 2, w(q) begins to rise more steeply, shutting the process off. From comparison of the results for 1 GeV with those for 800 MeV/nucleon, it is seen that pisobar formation gives an inelastic cross section which rises rapidly with energy. It is easy to see, going over to the relativistic region, k > M that eq. (10) is replaced by (13) This condition expect pisobar

with U = U, + U,. We use different values of g’ for nucleons and A’s, so that 1 + VU and V are actually matrices in the coupled NN, NA, AN and AA channels. (iv) Finally, we take into account processes in which the intermediate nucleon in fig. 1 is replaced by a A-isobar, including its many-body decay channels. One expects A-excitation of the projectile nucleon to be no less efficient as a stopping mechanism than A-hole production in the target. The corresponding additional piece of E has the nucleon propagator in eq. (2) replaced by the A-propagator. The results of this calculation are now presented, at Elab = 800 MeV/A, for two different sets of parameters: Set I (gkN= 0.55, gha = gbn = 0.35; A,, = 1.0 GeV, AP = 1.1 GeV, A + 00) is consistent with empirical values of the free NN cross section aNN(free)

for both the NN + NN and NN + NNa channels at energies up to Elab = 1 GeV. It represents, however, a case in which a pion condensate is formed at densities as low as p-2p,. Set II (gAN = gh = gba = 0.7; A, = 1.2 GeV, AP = A = 1.0 GeV) has increased repulsion (i.e. larger g’ values) in the spin-isospin interaction and avoids pion condensation in our density regime (p -c 2.5~~). These two scenarios can be considered as opposite extremes. We shall nevertheless find that the results for the effective cross section (1) turn out to be qualitatively similar for sets I and II; the conclusions will be quite insensitive to variations over a wide range of input parameters.

In contrast, the spin-longitudinal interaction is driven by the attractive pion exchange potential which is larger in magnitude than the repulsive g’ term in most of the available phase space. This attraction is enhanced with increasing density, so that the longitudinal effective cross section grows. In order to further analyse the content of the effective cross section, it is instructive to examine the mechanisms by which energy is transferred during the collision between the beam and the interacting many-body system. This information is in the imaginary part of d2X/dq dw, plotted as a function of momentum transfer q = 141 and energy transfer o, at a given projectile energy. We show typical examples of this quantity for two different densities in figs. 4a, b. One observes the different domains as they contribute to the response of the compressed many-body system to the colliding projectile. The peaks in this landscape represent dominant modes of excitation. At small energy and momentum transfers, the response is primarily due to quasifree NN scattering, as visualized by the pronounced quasielastic peak and its neighbourhood. A second peak appears at larger transferred energy in the A excitation region. At low density, the basic energy loss mechanisms are the

Next, consider the differential cross section du/dw derived by integrating -(~/VP) d(Im E)/dq dw over the momentum transfer q = 1~1 in the kinematically allowed region. We study the interesting spin-longitudinal part of this quantity separately, the one shown in fig. 1. Typical results at densities p = 0 and p = 2p, are presented in figs. 5a, b. These figures describe the way in which the incoming energy 800 MeV distributes into different channels, namely pion production, nucleon-hole and two-nucleon-two-hole excitations. Evidently, in the free (p + 0) case (fig. 5a), quasifree NN scattering and pion production (r) are the only relevant mechanisms; pion production is mainly due to the NN + NA + NNr process.

the scenario changes (see fig. 5b). The quasifree cross section which corresponds in leading order to nucleon-hole excitations increases substantially at low energy transfers due to effects of higher order in density. Fions are also produced at larger energy transfers, but their production rate (D-) is strongly reduced as a consequence of the competition between r-production and two-nucleon two-hole (2N2h) excitations. In the absence of these absorptive interactions (Tabs = 0), the pion production rate would not differ much from the one in free space. However, the opening of 2NZh continuum channels reduces this rate by roughly a factor of three at p = 2.~~. The relatively large 2N2h contribution to the effective cross section can be understood as follows. Its leading part is generated by a term proportional to p2 in the imaginary part of the nucleon self-energy E(p). The two-nucleon term in u = -(2/pu) Im 3 therefore grows linearly with density and represents a substantial part of the inelastic cross section at p = 2p0. The present calculation includes inelastic processes only through INfh, 2N2h and GTproduction. Other channels such as a(2NZh) etc. for

of pionic modes is substantially

increased by medium effects in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. At Bevalac energies of 800 MeV - 2 GeV we expect that this stopping is sufficient to quickly equilibrate the colliding material. There are strong empirical indications that this happIens 12). In higher energy heavy-ion collisions, the stopping in secondary collisions twill be greatly increased through these processes. Although many pions will be produced in the medium at Bevalac conditions, because of the strong interactions, the pions will equilibrate, and only a few of these will emerge at the freeze-out temperature. The latter will be relatively low, since the pisobars act as thermostats; they are easy to produce because of their low energies. The situation is, therefore, somewhat paradoxical: Very many pions are produced in medium, but few pions emerge; the actually observed particles are mostly secondary nucleons. It should be, however, possible to look into the interior of the overlapping nuclei and see the vast numbers of pisobars. Gale and Kapusta 13) proposed dilepton observation as a clue to what goes on. Colliding pions going through real or virtual p mesons radiate lepton pairs. The invariant mass of the latter is equal to that of the colliding pions. If this is greatly lowered by medium interactions, then this should appear in striking fashion in the invariant mass spectrum of dileptons. Details of this have been worked out by Xia et al. 14) who show an order of magnitude enhancement in the spectrum at invariant mass -2m, for 40Ca+40Ca

and p = 2p,.

(These

somewhat larger than what we suggest, so they should have somewhat less enhancement). Preliminary Bevalac experiments looking for lepton pairs 15) can be interpreted as showing some enhancement in 4oCa + 40Ca collisions at 1 GeV/nucleon. Experiments are planned for Nb + Nb at this energy, triggering on high multiplicities, or equivalently, central collisions. These should show effects of medium enhancement more clearly because of the higher densities formed in central collisions. Effects of the pisobars on the equation of state (EOS) were treated in ref. 4), but this work is still in the exploratory stage. Bertsch er al. 16) showed that with the increased stopping, the sideways flow is somewhat increased over that from a soft EOS plus momentum dependence (which gave sideways flow equivalent to that from a stiff EOS). The latter fits the data well, so a compensating softening of the EOS from pionic mode effects is needed. Presumably the system will live longer

nucleons in the system. The interesting possibility exists that at even higher energies, most of the nucleons are converted into A’s which are in the A-hole component of the pionic mode. In that case, the system should behave as a nonviscous Bose gas, nonviscous because the interactions are strong. (Of course, the pisobar decay width will also increase at higher energies). In fact, essentially the s-wave interaction between pionic modes was invoked by Ainsworth et al. “) in order to bring the mass of the a-meson down with increasing density, and the p-wave one was used by Brown is) to bring the p-meson mass down. These attractive interactions should play a role in the many-body behavior of the pisobar gas.
