Abstract:Taking into account the effects of shadowing and jet quenching, the large transverse momentum distribution of K+, π+ and K+/π+ ratios at √s=200 GeV originating from resolved photoproduction processes is calculated based on perturbative quantum chromodynamics. It is found that the contribution of K+ and π+ produced by photoproduction processes is evident. The K+/π+ ratios in Au–Au collisions show an obvious enhancement compared with p–p collisions. The numerical results indicate that the photoproduction processes are good modification for kaon and pion production.
(Relativistic heavy-ion collisions (collisions induced by light ions studied to calibrate relativistic heavy-ion collisions should be classified under both 25.75.-q and sections 13 or 25 appropriate to the light ions))
