Outline of Final Research Achievements

In heavy-ion collision, the "number of produced particles" and the "number of nucleons not participated in the collision" are treated as separate axes for the first time, enabling a more fine classification than that in the previous studies. With this categorization, we measure elliptical azimuthal anisotropy and attempt to detect the effect of multiple parton interactions (MPI) in heavy-ion collisions for the first time. The results are consistent with the trend of MPI effects in central collision events. Furthermore, this method has attracted the attention since it can be used as new event engineering, that will lead to the development of research in this field. In recognition of these results, we were invited to some international conferences and received club awards from two Soroptimist International chapters.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

重イオン衝突実験において、クォーク・グルオンプラズマの性質をより詳細に調べるため、新しいイベントエンジニアリングが発案されている。多くは、生成粒子のみを使っているが、今回我々が開発した手法は、生成粒子と、衝突に関与しなかった粒子を両方使うことで、衝突のサイズとMPIなどによる到達エネルギー密度とを分けたイベント分類を行うことが可能な点が画期的である。今回の研究結果は、MPIの効果と矛盾がない結果を得られただけでなく、このような分類によってよりQGPの状態を限定して分類することができ、それによって不確かさの少ない理論との比較が可能になる点で、非常に学術的意義が大きい。
