Centrality definition in A$+$A collisions at colliders such as RHIC and LHC suffers from a correlated systematic uncertainty caused by the efficiency of detecting a p$+$p collision ($50pm 5%$ for PHENIX at RHIC). In A$+$A collisions where centrality is measured by the number of nucleon collisions, $N_{rm coll}$, or the number of nucleon participants, $N_{rm part}$, or the number of constituent quark participants, $N_{rm qp}$, the error in the efficiency of the primary interaction trigger (Beam-Beam Counters) for a p$+$p collision leads to a correlated systematic uncertainty in $N_{rm part}$, $N_{rm coll}$ or $N_{rm qp}$ which reduces binomially as the A$+$A collisions become more central. If this is not correctly accounted for in projections of A$+$A to p$+$p collisions, then mistaken conclusions can result. A recent example is presented in whether the mid-rapidity charged multiplicity per constituent quark participant $({dN_{rm ch}/deta})/{N_{rm qp}}$ in Au$+$Au at RHIC was the same as the value in p$+$p collisions.

The centrality dependence of pseudorapidity density of charged particles and transverse energy is studied for a wide range of collision energies for heavy-ion collisions at midrapidity from 7.7 GeV to 5.02 TeV. A two-component model approach has been
adopted to quantify the soft and hard components of particle production, coming from nucleon participants and binary nucleon-nucleon collisions, respectively. Within experimental uncertainties, the hard component contributing to the particle production has been found not to show any clear collision energy dependence from RHIC to LHC. The effect of centrality and collision energy in particle production seem to factor out with some degree of dependency on the collision species. The collision of Uranium-like deformed nuclei opens up new challenges in understanding the energy-centrality factorization, which is evident from the centrality dependence of transverse energy density, when compared to collision of symmetric nuclei.
The production at central rapidity of K0s, Lambda, Xi and Omega particles in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c has been measured by the NA57 experiment over a centrality range corresponding to the most central 53% of the inelastic Pb-Pb cross section.
In this paper we present the rapidity distribution of each particle in the central rapidity unit as a function of the event centrality. The distributions are analyzed based on hydrodynamical models of the collisions.
We report a new measurement of $D^0$-meson production at mid-rapidity ($|y|$,$<$,1) in Au+Au collisions at ${sqrt{s_{rm NN}} = rm{200,GeV}}$ utilizing the Heavy Flavor Tracker, a high resolution silicon detector at the STAR experiment. Invariant yi
elds of $D^0$-mesons with transverse momentum $p_{T}$ $lesssim 9$,GeV/$c$ are reported in various centrality bins (0--10%, 10--20%, 20--40%, 40--60% and 60--80%). Blast-Wave thermal models are used to fit the $D^0$-meson $p_{T}$ spectra to study $D^0$ hadron kinetic freeze-out properties. The average radial flow velocity extracted from the fit is considerably smaller than that of light hadrons ($pi,K$ and $p$), but comparable to that of hadrons containing multiple strange quarks ($phi,Xi^-$), indicating that $D^0$ mesons kinetically decouple from the system earlier than light hadrons. The calculated $D^0$ nuclear modification factors re-affirm that charm quarks suffer large amount of energy loss in the medium, similar to those of light quarks for $p_{T}$,$>$,4,GeV/$c$ in central 0--10% Au+Au collisions. At low $p_{T}$, the nuclear modification factors show a characteristic structure qualitatively consistent with the expectation from model predictions that charm quarks gain sizable collective motion during the medium evolution. The improved measurements are expected to offer new constraints to model calculations and help gain further insights into the hot and dense medium created in these collisions.
In this work, we have reviewed the Oslo method, which enables the simultaneous extraction of level density and gamma-ray transmission coefficient from a set of particle-gamma coincidence data. Possible errors and uncertainties have been investigated.
Typical data sets from various mass regions as well as simulated data have been tested against the assumptions behind the data analysis.
We study the recent PHOBOS data on the pseudorapidity density of inclusive charged particles in centrality-binned d+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. It appears that one can understand the increasing forward-backward asymmetry in the data by ass
uming that the entire distribution shifts backwards in rapidity according to the initial-state kinematics, while the total multiplicity scales linearly with Npart/2. Two models are explored, both of which achieve a reasonable description of the available data for rapidities sufficiently far from the pro jectiles (|eta|< 3 at the top RHIC energy). One model uses PYTHIA as the underlying distribution, to allow a straightforward mapping of a rapidity shift back to pseudorapidity space. The other model is a simple analytic calculation based on functions inspired by Landaus hydrodynamical model. The apparent success of these simple pictures to describe the bulk of particle production over |eta|< 3 suggests that collective effects may be present even in the small systems created in p+p and d+Au reactions, active over the full rapidity range. The relationship between this and other theoretical approaches are discussed.
