Counting Rates in Collisions of Main and Satellite Bunches at NICA
摘要
Abstract
Estimated counting rate in the collisions of heavy ions in the NICA/MPD are presented for collisions of main bunches (bunch-bunch scattering), satellite bunches (satellite-satellite scattering), and the collision of a main bunch with a satellite bunch (bunch-satellite scattering). The distribution of vertices in the MPD interaction area is presented. The main conclusion is that the contributions of satellite-satellite and satellite-bunch scattering do not exceed two percent of the bunch-bunch scattering.
