Time evolution of Mach-like structure in a partonic transport model
Abstract
The time evolution of Mach-like structure (the splitting of the away side peak in di-hadron $Δϕ$ correlation) is presented in the framework of a dynamical partonic transport model. With the increasing of the lifetime of partonic matter, Mach-like structure can be produced and developed by strong parton cascade process. Not only the splitting parameter but also the number of associated hadrons ($N_{h}^{assoc}$) increases with the lifetime of partonic matter and partonic interaction cross section. Both the explosion of $N_{h}^{assoc}$ following the formation of Mach-like structure and the corresponding results of three-particle correlation support that a partonic Mach-like shock wave can be formed by strong parton cascade mechanism. Therefore, the studies about Mach-like structure may give us some critical information, such as the lifetime of partonic matter and hadronization time.
