Figure 1. A peripheral collision. The overlap region contains low density matter. The S800 mass spectrometer was used to look at the residues of the collision while the Large Area Silicon-Strip/CsI Detector Array (LASSA) and the Miniball (MB) and Miniwall (MW) array were used to detect charged particles in less optimum resolution. (Figure 2). In the full implementation, the MB consists of 188 separate detectors and MW consists of 256 (??) that wrap together around The violence of a collision can be identified by finding the impact parameters of the collisions using the following expressions: To normalize different reactions, a ratio between each impact parameter value and the highest value from the experiment is constructed. This ratio is called The lowest 20% of the cross-sections will be considered central collisions and the highest 20% peripheral collisions. N= particles/cm 2 in target I s = total scattered particles I in = total incoming particles N c = multiplicity Figure 2. Location of the Miniball and the S800 in the experimental setup. Figure 3. A schematic of a MB detector. The highest 20% reduced impact parameter values were considered peripheral collisions for this experiment. The lowest 20% reduced impact parameter values were considered central collisions. Based on Figure 9, it can be determined that those events with a Multiplicity of 7 and below are peripheral collisions and 21 or higher are central collisions. Figure 4. Cross-section vs. Multiplicity Figure 6. b-hat vs. Multiplicity Figure 5. Impact Parameter vs. Multiplicity Figure 4 shows the relationship of the charged particle multiplicity (N c ) and cross sections for each target-beam combination used in the experiment. The larger the multiplicity, the more violent the collisions and the smaller the cross section. The values for all beam-target combinations are close because the E/A was the same for all, 70MeV. Figure 6 shows the relationship between the reduced impact parameters, b-hat, and the charged particle multiplicity. Note that the three different curves in Figure 5, collapse into one curve. The larger the multiplicity, the smaller the reduced impact parameter, corresponding to more violent collisions. Figure 5 shows the relationship of the charged particle multiplicity (N c ) and the impact parameter determined from the cross-sections. The larger the multiplicity, the smaller the impact parameter. Further understanding of Neutron Star properties such as the mass and radius can be achieved if EOS is defined. In heavy ion collisions, low and high density nuclear matter can be formed. One focus of this experiment is on peripheral collisions and therefore the data corresponding to these must be identified. (see Figure 1) the target in a spherical shape. In this experiment, some MB/MW elements were removed to accommodate the LASSA array. Each detector is a 2 cm thick CsI (TI) crystal covered by a plastic scintillator foil 4 micrometers thick. (see Figure 3) Each CsI crystal is attached to a photo- multiplier tube (PMT) which converts incoming light into an electric signal through the photoelectric effect.
