Revisiting the centrality definition and observable centrality dependence of relativistic heavy-ion collisions in PACIAE model

We improve the centrality definition in impact parameter in PACIAE model responding the fact reported by the ALICE, ATLAS, and CMS collaborations that the maximum impact parameter in heavy ion collisions should be extended to 20 $fm$. Meanwhile the PACIAE program is updated to a new version of PACIAE 2.2.2 with convenience of studying the elementary nuclear collisions, proton-nucleus collisions, and the nucleus-nucleus collisions in one unified program version. The new impact parameter definition together with the optical Glauber model calculated impact parameter bin, $N_{part}$, and $N_{coll}$ in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at relativistic energies are consistent with the improved MC-Glauber model ones within the error bar. The charged-particle pseudorapidity and the transverse momentum distributions in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV simulated by PACIAE 2.2.2 well reproduce the ALICE experimental data.

Linear scaling of lepton charge asymmetry in $W^\pm$ production in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions

The lepton charge asymmetry in $W^\pm$ production in the nuclear collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV is investigated with a parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE. Recently published ALICE and the ATLAS data of lepton charge asymmetry are well reproduced. An interesting linear scaling behavior is observed in the lepton charge asymmetry as a function of the collision system valence quark number asymmetry among the different size of nuclear collision systems at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV. This linear scaling behavior may serve as an additional constraint on the PDF (nPDF) extractions.

Centrality dependence and isospin effect on $\Wpm$ and $\Zn$ productions in nucleus-nucleus collisions at $\sNN=5.02$~TeV

In this paper, the centrality dependent $\Zn$ and $\Wpm$ production and the isospin effect in $\Wpm$ production are investigated with a parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sNN=5.02$~TeV. ALICE data of $\Zn$ production in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sNN=5.02$~TeV are found to be reproduced fairly well. The prediction on $\Wpm$ production in the same collision system is given as well. An interesting isospin effect is observed in exploring the charge asymmetry between $\Wp$ and $\Wm$ as a function of the asymmetry between number of valence $u$- and $d$-quarks varied from small to large collision systems at center-of-mass energy 5.02 TeV. The results serve as a important benchmarks for understanding the initial conditions of heavy-ion collisions.

A study on the exotic state ${P_{c}(4312),P_{c}(4440),P_{c}(4457)}$ in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$, 13 TeV

The exotic resonant state $P_{c}^{\pm}(4312)$, $P_{c}^{\pm}(4440)$, and $P_{c}^{\pm}(4457)$ are studied by using the dynamically constrained phase space coalescence DCPC model and PACIAE model in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$, 13TeV, respectively. We consider exotic state $P_{c}^{\pm}(4312)$, $P_{c}^{\pm}(4440)$ and $P_{c}^{\pm}(4457)$ to be three kinds of possible structures, i.e. pentaquark state, the nucleus-like state, and the molecular state based on $P_c^\pm \to J/ψ{p}{(\bar p)}$ bound state. The yield, the transverse momentum distribution and the rapidity distribution of $P_{c}$ with three different structures are all predicted. The results indicated that the yield is on the order of $10^{-6}$, which might provide reference for experimental research.

Investigation of exotic state X(3872) in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$7 and 13 TeV

We have used the dynamically constrained phase space coalescence model to study the production of the exotic state $X(3872)$ based on the hadronic final states generated by the parton and hadron cascade model (PACIAE) with $|y|<1$ and $p_T < 15.5$ GeV/c in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 13 TeV, respectively. Here the $X(3872)$ is assumed to consist of bound state $D\bar {D^*}$, which can form three possible structures for the tetraquark state, the nucleus-like state, and the molecular state. The yields of three different structures $X(3872)$ were predicted. The transverse momentum distribution and the rapidity distribution of three different structures $X(3872)$ are also presented. Sizable difference can be found in the transverse momentum and rapidity distributions for the three different $X(3872)$ structures.

Collision system size scan for light (anti-)nuclei and (anti-)hypertriton production in high energy nuclear collisions

The production of light (anti-)nuclei and (anti-)hypertriton in a recent collsion system size scan program proposed for the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is investigated by using the dynamically constrained phase-space coalescence model and the parton and hadron cascade model. The collision system dependence of yield ratios for deuteron to proton, helium-3 to proton, and hypertriton to $Λ$-hyperon with the corresponding values for antiparticles is predicted. The work presents that for the yield ratios a significant difference exists between (hyper)nuclei and their anti-(hyper)nuclei. Besides, much more suppression for (anti-)hypernuclei than light (anti-)nuclei is present. We further investigate strangeness population factors $s_3$ as a function of atomic mass number $A$. Our present study can provide a reference for a upcoming collision system scan program at RHIC.

Dynamical simulation on production of ${\rm W}^{\pm}$ and ${\rm Z}^{0}$ bosons in p-p, p-Pb (Pb-p), and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV with PACIAE

In this paper, production of ${\rm W}^{\pm}$ and ${\rm Z}^{0}$ vector bosons in p-p, p-Pb (Pb-p), and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV is dynamically simulated with a parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE. ALICE data of ${\rm Z}^{0}$ production is found to be reproduced fairly well. A prediction for ${\rm W}^{\pm}$ production is given in the same collision systems, at the same energy and at the same energy. An interesting isospin-effect is observed in the sign-change of $μ^{\pm}$ charge asymmetry in pp, pn, np, and nn collisions and in minimum bias p-Pb, Pb-p and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV, respectively.

The study of exotic state $Z_c^{\pm}(3900)$ decaying to $J/ψπ^{\pm}$ in the $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.96, 7, and 13 TeV

A dynamically constrained phase-space coalescence model plus PACIAE model was used to predict the exotic resonant state $Z_c^{\pm}(3900)$ yield, transverse momentum distribution, and the rapidity distribution with $|y| < 6$ and $p_T < 10$ GeV/c in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96, 7$ and 13 TeV, respectively. The yield of the $Z_c^{\pm}(3900)$ is estimated to be around $10^{-6}$ to $10^{-5}$. We also present the energy dependence of the transverse momentum distributions and rapidity distributions for ${Z_c^{+}(3900)}$ and ${Z_c^{-}(3900)}$. The production of ${Z_c^{+}(3900)}$ and its anti-particle ${Z_c^{-}(3900)}$ is found to be quite similar to each other.

Predictions for production of $\rm{^3_ΛH}$ and $\rm{{^3_{\overline Λ}\overline H}}$ in isobaric $^{96}_{44}$Ru+$^{96}_{44}$Ru and $^{96}_{40}$Zr+$^{96}_{40}$Zr collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV

The production of $\rm{^3_ΛH}$ and $\rm{{^3_{\overline Λ}\overline H}}$, as well as $\rm{^3H}$, $\rm{^3\overline H}$, $\rm{^3He}$, and $\rm{^3\overline {He}}$ are studied in central collisions of isobars $^{96}_{44}$Ru+$^{96}_{44}$Ru and $^{96}_{40}$Zr+$^{96}_{40}$Zr at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}=200$ GeV, using the dynamically constrained phase-space coalescence model and the {\footnotesize PACIAE} model with chiral magnetic effect. The yield, yield ratio, coalescence parameters, and strangeness population factor of (anti-)hypertriton and (anti-)nuclei produced in isobaric $^{96}_{44}$Ru+$^{96}_{44}$Ru and $^{96}_{40}$Zr+$^{96}_{40}$Zr collisions are predicted. The (anti-)hypertriton and (anti-)nuclei production is found to be insensitive to the chiral magnetic effects. Experimental data of Cu+Cu, Au+Au and Pb+Pb collisions from RHIC, LHC, and the results of {\footnotesize PACIAE+DCPC} model are presented in the results for comparison.

Towards a qualitative hadron-parton correspondence in the nuclear modification factor

In this work, we propose a method to show the correspondence between hadron and its quark component nuclear modification factors. A parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE based on the PYTHIA6.4 is employed to calculate the hadron and its quark component nuclear modification factors in the 0-5\% most central $Pb+Pb$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=2.76 TeV. It turns out that the hadron nuclear modification factor is usually smaller than that of its quark component. On the other hand, it is shown in our study that the "dead cone effect" is more likely to be identified with the quarks and mesons but not with the baryon states obviously.

Study on the $Ω_{c}^{0}$ States Decaying to $Ξ_{c}^{+}K^{-}$ in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$, 13 TeV

The production of strange particles $Ξ_{c}^{+}, K^{-}$ is simulated in mid-rapidity $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV with $0.2 \leq pt \leq 6$~GeV/c using the {\footnotesize PACIAE} model. The results are consistent with LHCb experimental data on $Ξ_{c}^{+}$ and $K^{-}$ yield. Then, a dynamically constrained phase-space coalescence ({\footnotesize DCPC}) model plus {\footnotesize PACIAE} model was used to produce the $Ξ_{c}^{+}K^{-}$ bound states and study the narrow excited $Ω_{c}^{0}$ states through $Ω_{c}^{0} \to Ξ_{c}^{+}K^{-}$ in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 13 TeV. The yield, transverse momentum distribution, and rapidity distribution of the five new excited $Ω_{c}^{0}$ states of $Ω_{c}(3000)^{0}$, $Ω_{c}(3050)^{0}$, $Ω_{c}(3066)^{0}$,$Ω_{c}(3090)^{0}$and $Ω_{c}(3119)^{0}$ were predicted.

Impact of single string structure and multiple string interaction on strangeness production in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{S_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV

We present a systematic study on the strange and multi-strange particles production in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{S_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV based on the PACIAE model simulations. Two different mechanisms, namely the single string structure variations and multiple string interactions, are implemented in the simulations. These modifications give rise to an enhancement of the string tension value involved in the Lund string fragmentation framework and generate more strange particles in the hadronic final state. By comparing the simulation results with the ALICE experimental data, it turns out that the inclusion of the variable effective string tension in the PACIAE model is capable to reach an improved agreement between theory and experiment on the strangeness production in Pb+Pb collisions.

Forward and backward comparative study of jet properties in pp collisions at \sqrt{s}=7 TeV

We propose a forward method, based on the PYTHIA6.4, to study theoretically the jet properties in the ultra-relativistic pp collisions. In the forward method, the partonic initial states are first generated with PYTHIA6.4 and then hadronized in the Lund srting fragmentation regime, and finally hadronic jets are constructed from the created hadrons. Jet properties calculated in the forward method for pp collisions at \sqrt{s}=7 TeV are comparable with the corresponding ones calculated with usual anti-k_t algorithm (backward method) in the PYTHIA6.4. The comparison between the results in the backward and forward methods may bring benefit to the understanding of the partonic origin of jets in the backward method.

Single string structure and multiple string interaction effect on strange particle production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV

We present a systematic study on the strange particle production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in proton-proton (pp) collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 7 TeV based on PACIAE simulations. Two different mechanisms accounting for single string structure variations and multiple string interactions are implemented in the simulations. These modifications give rise to increased effective string tension in the Lund fragmentation model and generate more strange particles in the hadronic final state. By comparing the results with a wealth of the LHC data, it is turned out that the inclusion of variable effective string tension is capable to reach an improved agreement between theory and experiment, especially on the recently observed multiplicity dependence of strangeness enhancement in pp collisions. This approach provides us a new method to understand the microscopic picture of the novel high multiplicity pp events collected at the LHC in the string fragmentation framework.

Energy dependence of light (anti)nuclei and (anti)hypertriton production in the Au-Au collision from $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}} =5.0$ to $5020$ GeV

The energy dependence of light (anti)nuclei and (anti)hypertriton production are investigated in central Au-Au collisions from AGS up to LHC energies at midrapidity, using the parton and hadron cascade model (PACIAE) together with the dynamically constrained phase-space coalescence model(DCPC). We find that the yields, yield ratios of the antiparticles to their corresponding particles, the coalescence parameters $B_A$ and the strangeness population factor $s_3$ of light (anti)nuclei and (anti)hypertriton strongly depend on the energy. Furthermore, we analyze and discuss the strangeness population factor $s_3$ and the coalescence parameters $B_A$, and find a transition point near by 20 GeV. These results thus suggest the potential usefulness of the $s_3$ and $B_A$ of light nuclei production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions as a direct probe of the transition point associated with the QCD critical phenomena. The results from PACIAE+DCPC model are well consistent with experimental data.

The specific charged hadron multiplicity in ep and eD semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering in the PYTHIA and PACIAE models

We employed the PYTHIA 6.4 model and the extended parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE 2.2 to comparatively investigate the DIS normalized specific charged hadron multiplicity in the 27.6 GeV electron semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering off proton and deuteron. The PYTHIA and PACIAE results calculated with default model parameters not well and fairly well reproduce the corresponding HERMES data, respectively. In addition, we have discussed the effects of the differences between the PYTHIA and PACIAE models.

An upgraded issue of the parton and hadron cascade model, PACIAE 2.2

The parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE 2.1 (cf. Comput. Phys. Commun.184 (2013) 1476) has been upgraded to the new issue of PACIAE 2.2. By this new issue the lepton-nucleon and lepton-nucleus (inclusive) deep inelastic scatterings can also be investigated. As an example, the PACIAE 2.2 model is enabled to calculate the specific charged hadron multiplicity in the $e^-$+p and $e^-$+D semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering at 27.6 GeV electron beam energy. The calculated results are well comparing with the corresponding HERMES data. Additionally, the effect of model parameters αand βin the Lund string fragmentation function on the multiplicity is studied.

On the lepton-nucleon neutral and charged current deep inelastic scattering cross sections

Based on the requirement in the simulation of lepton-nucleus deep inelastic scattering (DIS), we construct a fortran program LDCS 1.0 calculating the differential and total cross sections for the unpolarized charged lepton-unpolarized nucleon and neutrino-unpolarized nucleon neutral current (charged current) DIS at leading order. Any set of the experimentally fitted parton distribution functions could be employed directly. The mass of incident and scattered leptons is taken into account and the boundary conditions calculating the single differential and total cross section are studied. The calculated results well agree with the corresponding experimental data which indicating the LDCS 1.0 program is good. It is also turned out that the effect of tauon mass is not negligible in the GeV energy level.
