Soft Physics in Pb-Pb at the LHC
P. G. Kuijer (for the ALICE Collaboration)
TL;DR
This paper discusses early results from the LHC on soft physics in Pb-Pb collisions, revealing a larger, longer-lived, hotter, and denser system compared to RHIC, based on particle spectra and correlations.
Contribution
It presents initial soft physics findings from the LHC, providing new insights into the properties and initial conditions of the quark-gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions.
Findings
Larger, longer-lived system at LHC energies
Higher temperature and density compared to RHIC
Detailed analysis of particle spectra and correlations
Abstract
The LHC results on particle and transverse energy production and Bose-Einstein correlations show that the system produced in Pb-Pb collisions at psNN = 2:76TeV is significantly larger, lives longer and is hotter and denser than at RHIC energies. The particle spectra and soft particle correlations allow a more detailed study of the properties of the produced system and its initial conditions. This contribution highlights some of the first soft physics results from the LHC.
