Recent atomic physics calculations for Si ii are employed within the cloudy modelling code to analyse Hubble Space Telescope (HST) STIS ultraviolet spectra of three cool stars, β Geminorum, α Centauri A and B, as well as previously published HST/GHRS observations of α Tau, plus solar quiet Sun data from the High Resolution Telescope and Spectrograph. Discrepancies found previously between theory and observation for line intensity ratios involving the 3s23p 2PJ–3s3p2 4PJ' intercombination multiplet of Si II at ∼ 2335 Å are significantly reduced, as are those for …


Λλ Correlation Function In Au + Au Collisions At √S(Nn)=200 Gev, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, S. Bültmann, I. Koralt Jan 2015

Λλ Correlation Function In Au + Au Collisions At √S(Nn)=200 Gev, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, S. Bültmann, I. Koralt

Physics Faculty Publications

We present ΛΛ correlation measurements in heavy-ion collisions for Au + Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV using the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider. The Lednicky-Lyuboshitz analytical model has been used to fit the data to obtain a source size, a scattering length and an effective range. Implications of the measurement of the ΛΛ correlation function and interaction parameters for dihyperon searches are discussed.
