报告简介:
Light nuclei production in relativistic heavy ion collisions was a topic of great interest in earlier experiments at Bevalac. It not only revived the coalescence model, which was introduced in 1963 to understand deuteron production from nuclear targets exposed to high-energy protons from the AGS, but also led to the birth of the thermal model. Recent experiments at SPS, RHIC and LHC on light nuclei production have renewed this interest. Both thermal and coalescence models have again been used in understanding the experimental observations. This talk will review results from these studies on the yield and elliptic flow of various light nuclei, the production of weakly bound hypertriton, and the use of light nuclei as a probe of the QCD phase diagram. Also discussed is the relations among the thermal, coalescence, and kinetic models for deuteron production in heavy ion collisions.
