Measurement of muon pairs produced via $γ γ$ scattering in nonultraperipheral $Pb + Pb$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.02$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

G. Aad et al. (ATLAS Collaboration )

Phys. Rev. C 107, 054907 (2023) - Published 5 May, 2023

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions the Lorentz-contracted electromagnetic fields of the nuclei are a source of high-energy quasireal photons which can produce muon pairs via the process $γ + γ \to μ^{+} + μ^{-}$ . In hadronic Pb+Pb collisions the two leptons in the final state provide a sensitive probe of the quark-gluon plasma created in the Pb+Pb collision or the strong magnetic fields that the plasma generates. This work presents new measurements by the ATLAS collaboration at the LHC of the Pb+Pb collision centrality dependence of the angular decorrelation of muon pairs created via the $γ γ$ process. Comparisons of the results to theoretical calculations suggest that the observed decorrelation in more central collisions results from an initial-state broadening of the photon transverse momenta and not from the interaction of the muons with the plasma or its magnetic field.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Measurements of the suppression and correlations of dijets in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 5.02$ TeV

G. Aad et al. (ATLAS Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 107, 054908 (2023) - Published 11 May, 2023

When two nuclei collide at relativistic energies, the collisions between nucleons create back-to-back streams (jets) of particles. These jets traverse the hot and dense strongly interacting medium produced in these collisions. The ATLAS Collaboration measured the differential yields of dijets as a function of the dijet momentum balance for selections on collisional geometry in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. They quantified the centrality dependence of dijet suppression and studied the suppression of the leading and sub-leading jets constituting the dijet. These results provide important information on dijet suppression and provide new insights into the path-length dependence on jet medium interactions.
