18 (a) λ γ >> d N : the photon "sees" a point-like nucleon (b) λ γ ~ d N : the cross section depends on q 2 through a form factor, F(q 2 /M 2 N ), corresponding to the charge density of the nucleon. To keep the form factor dimensionless, a mass scale is necessary, taken to be the mass of the nucleon, M N. (c) λ γ << d N : the photon interacts directly with a parton, independently on the rest of the nucleon. The cross section becomes simpler. 28/04/16 F. Ould-Saada 18

37 Example of measurements entering model building

38 HE nucleus-nucleus (A-A) collisions studied since end of 1980s using ion beams 8 O, 16 S, 82 Pb at 15GeV/nucleon at Brookhaven at 200 (158 for 82 Pb) GeV/nucleon at the CERN SPS Results show that the A-A collision can be explained as a series of hadron nucleus collisions (superposition model). Only few nucleons of the projectile (or target) interact inelastically, producing a heavy nuclear fragment, some light fragments and several spectator nucleons. About 20% of these nucleons reinteracts inside the target nucleus. The hadron nucleus interaction is thus considered as a superposition of hadronhadron interactions. One of the most used models in Monte Carlo simulations of A-A interactions: Glauber model of multiple nuclear scattering: a hadron crossing a nucleus can undergo multiple interactions in each interaction, hadrons are produced which may in turn interact within the same nucleus, giving rise to a intra-nuclear cascade. A-A interactions are important in the study of cascades induced by HE cosmic rays (p, He and heavier nuclei) with nuclei in the upper atmosphere

39 HE A-A collisions used to search for possible state of matter denoted - QGP The very high temperatures and densities achieved in the collisions should, for a very short time, allow quarks and gluons to exist in a free state, i.e., no longer confined in hadrons, in a kind of soup or plasma. State of matter might have existed around 10-6 s after Big Bang. Predicted by QCD The Brookhaven Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), 2000, devoted to these studies gold ions which colliding at GeV/nucleon. RHICmay have indications for a QGP behaving more like a liquid than a gas. At LHC, ALICE (as well as ATLAS and CMS) studies in detail 82 Pb ion interactions up to 5.5 TeV/nucleon. The study of the properties of QGP can help to understand the origin of particles (p, n) may also have important implications for our understanding of cosmology.
