Aspects of Hadron Production in High-Energy Heavy-Ion Physics
Author
Summary, in English
The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, RHIC, took its first data at unprecedented energies during the summer of 2000. The Pad Chamber detector system, designed to provide space points along each track in the spectrometer arms at midrapidity, performed extremely well. Two very different PHENIX analysis topics, based on Pad Chamber data, are presented: charged-particle multiplicity and coherent peripheral interactions.
