Dense Cold Nuclear Matter Study with Cumulative Trigger. Proposal

TL;DR

This paper proposes an experimental approach to study dense cold nuclear matter using cumulative triggers in light ion collisions at future facilities, focusing on meson or photon production at high transverse momentum as an effective selection method.

Contribution

It introduces a novel experimental method employing cumulative triggers to detect dense cold nuclear matter in light ion collisions at upcoming research facilities.

Findings

Potential to create dense cold matter droplets in light ion collisions.

High $p_t$ meson or photon production as effective triggers.

Feasibility of measuring small cross section processes.

Abstract

Experimental program for the study of dense cold matter is proposed. Droplets of such a matter are expected to be created in light ion collisions at the initial energy range of future facilities FAIR and NICA with extremely small but measurable cross section. Meson (or photon) production at high $p_t$ and central rapidity region (double cumulative processes domain) is proposed as possible effective trigger (selection criteria) for such study.
