Reconstruction of the Proton Source in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

Nuclear Theory 2015-06-26 v1

Abstract

We describe a direct method to reconstruct the transverse proton source formed in a relativistic heavy ion collision, making use of experimentally measured proton and deuteron spectra and assuming that deuterons are formed via two-nucleon coalescence. We show that an ambiguity with respect to the source temperature still persists and we indicate a possible solution to the problem.
