Neutral Meson Production in Ag+Ag Collisions at 1.58 A GeV with HADES Electromagnetic Calorimeter
Prozorov, Alexandr ; Kugler, Andrej (advisor) ; Bielčík, Jaroslav (referee) ; Závada, Petr (referee)
Title: Neutral Meson Production in Ag+Ag Collisions at 1.58 A GeV with HADES Electromagnetic Calorimeter Author: Alexandr Prozorov Abstract: The Dielectron Spectrometer HADES operating at the SIS18 synchro- tron, FAIR/GSI Darmstadt, recently provided new intriguing results on the pro- duction of electron pairs and strangeness from nucleus-nucleus collisions, as well as from elementary reactions, in the energy region of 1 − 2 A GeV. In 2019 the spectrometer was complemented by an electromagnetic calorimeter based on lead- glass modules, which allows us to measure photons and thus study the production of π0 and η mesons via their two-photon decay. Knowledge of the neutral-meson production is a mandatory prerequisite for the interpretation of dielectron data. In particular, the directed and elliptic flow of neutral mesons with respect to transverse momentum and rapidity will be shown for different centrality classes in Ag + Ag collisions at 1.58 A GeV. The results of the analysis corresponding to the 14 × 109 events will be confronted with the results of other experiments and with the current model calculations. Keywords: baryonic medium, hadrons, relativistic heavy-ion collisions, neutral mesons, pion flow
Nucleon spin structure studies in Drell-Yan process at Compass
Matoušek, Jan ; Finger, Miroslav (advisor) ; Aschenauer, Elke-Caroline (referee) ; Závada, Petr (referee)
Jointly-supervised doctoral thesis Title: Nucleon spin structure studies in Drell-Yan process at COMPASS Author: Jan Matoušek Department I: Department of Low Temperature Physics, Faculty of Mathem- atics and Physics, Charles University Department II: Department of Physics, University of Trieste Supervisor I: prof. Miroslav Finger (Department I) Supervisor II: prof. Anna Martin (Department II) Abstract: The nucleon structure is presently described by Transverse Momentum Depend- ent (TMD) Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs), which generalise the collinear PDFs, adding partonic spin and transverse momentum degrees of freedom. The recent HERMES and COMPASS data on hadron production in deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) of leptons off transversely polarised nucleons have provided a decisive validation of this framework. Nevertheless, the TMD PDFs should be studied in complementary reactions, like pp hard scattering and Drell-Yan pro- cesses. In particular the Sivers TMD PDF, which encodes the correlation between the nucleon transverse spin and quark transverse momentum and appears in the Sivers Transverse Spin Asymmetry (TSA), is expected to have opposite sign in Drell-Yan and SIDIS. In 2015 COMPASS measured for the first time the Drell- Yan process on a transversely polarised target π− p↑ → µ− µ+ X to test...
Femtoscopy with multi-strange baryons at RHIC
Chaloupka, Petr ; Šumbera, Michal (advisor) ; Závada, Petr (referee) ; Staroba, Pavel (referee)
Au-Au collisions at RHIC energies exhibit features suggesting that the system has undergone evolution through a stage of partonic matter. The hot and dense system created in the collision builds up substantial collectivity leading to rapid transverse expansion. In particular recent measurements show that Ξ and Ω baryons develop substantial elliptic flow. Properties of the induced flow strongly depend on whether the collectivity is achieved on partonic or hadronic level. Multi-strange baryons may be, due to their presumably small hadronic cross- sections, mainly sensitive to the early (possibly partonic) stage. The main objective of this thesis is to study femtoscopic π−Ξ correlations in Au+Au collisions at √ sNN =200 GeV and √ sNN =62 GeV recorded by the STAR experiment at RHIC. Measurements of momentum correlations of particles at small relative velocities are used to extract information about space-time extension of the particle-emitting source at the time of kinetic freeze-out. Non-identical particle measurements are sensitive not only to the size of the system, but also to an emission asymmetry between different particle species. Since this asymmetry may arise from the collective expansion and/or early decoupling of Ξ these measurements of π−Ξ correlations provide important test of the dynamics of...
Pion-induced polarized Drell-Yan process at Compass
Pešek, Michael ; Finger, Michael (advisor) ; Spousta, Martin (referee) ; Závada, Petr (referee)
In this work we present the basic theoretical concepts of the description of the nucleon spin structure. The theoretical background of two processes of interest - Semi-inclusive DIS and Drell-Yan - in the terms of Transverse Momentum De- pendent Parton distribution Functions is presented. The COMPASS experiment and particularly its unique polarised target are described in detail. Several target related measurements are presented. The express analysis and detector efficien- cies analysis are presented as examples of important hardware related analysis. Finally two measurements of Transverse Spin Asymmetries are presented. The first measurement is the measurement of the Transverse Spin Asymmetries in J/ψ production in the Semi-inclusive DIS on polarised protons. The second mea- surement is the measurement of Transverse Spin Asymmetries in J/ψ in the π− p polarised Drell-Yan data. 1
Study of transverse flow of kaons in Au+Au collisions at 1.23A GeV
Chlad, Lukáš ; Kugler, Andrej (advisor) ; Dolejší, Jiří (referee) ; Závada, Petr (referee)
Title: Study of transverse flow of kaons in Au + Au collisions at 1.23A GeV Author: Lukáš Chlad Abstract: The production and propagation of strange hadrons at the threshold energy are important probes of the in-medium hadron's properties and stiffness of the equation of state of nuclear matter. In this thesis, the transverse kaon flow at Au + Au collisions with kinetic beam energy 1.23A GeV measured with the HADES spectrometer is discussed. The motivation for such an analysis and the theoretical introduction are described first, followed by the characterization of the the individual parts of HADES spectrometer. The procedure to identify detected particles from the measured signals is introduced. Finally, the flow analysis and its results are presented. The differential directed and elliptic flow of kaons in measured gold on gold collisions is compared with published data and with kinetic transport model predictions. Keywords: relativistic heavy-ion collisions, transverse flow, kaon flow 1

Calibration of Digital Camera to Luminance Measurement
Volek, Martin ; Závada, Petr (referee) ; Baxant, Petr (advisor)
The thesis deals with the calibration of a digital camera for a purpose of luminance measurement. The aim is to create calibration approximation functions allowing the calculation of luminance. The first part analyses the basic light-technical parameters, as well as the principle of luminance measurement and the features of digital cameras for this purpose. An important issue, introduced in the present thesis, is to adapt a digital camera as a luminance meter. Furthermore, there is a description of the preparation of a site for the calibration, including necessary devices. The last part is dedicated to define the acquired calibration functions for the respective light sources and their mutual comparison.
