Imran Khan ix ABSTRACT Analysis of Δ0(1232) Production in p+12C and d+12C Collisions at 4.2 GeV/c Per Nucleon Production and various properties of Δ0(1232) resonances in p+12C and d+12C collisions at a momentum of 4.2 GeV/c per nucleon were analyzed. The mass distributions of 0 (1232)'s in both collision types were reconstructed by analyzing the experimental and background invariant mass distributions of proton and negative pion pairs with the help of angular criterion. The emission angle, rapidity, momentum, transverse momentum, and kinetic energy distributions of were reconstructed for both collision types and their mean values extracted. Analyzing the reconstructed transverse mass spectra of , the freeze-out temperatures of were estimated for both collision types. The parameters and various characteristics of Δ0(1232) resonances produced in p+12C and d+12C collisions at the same incident momentum per nucleon were compared with each other to get the valuable information about the role of the weakly bound neutrons of projectile deuterons in Δ0(1232) production. The spectral temperatures of produced in p+12C and d+12C interactions at 4.2 GeV/c per nucleon were extracted by analyzing the transverse momentum spectra of in the framework of Hagedorn Thermodynamic Model and compared with the corresponding temperatures of negative pions in p+12C and d+12C collisions. x TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Introduction 2 1.2 Properties of Δ(1232) resonances 4 1.3 Aims and outline of the thesis 5 2 Experimental Procedures and Models 8 2.1 The Synchrophasotron and Accelerators complex of JINR 9 2.2 Bubble Chamber 15 2.3 Experiment 19 2.4 Modified FRITIOF Model 22 2.5 Quark-Gluon-String Model 26 2.6 Dubna Cascade Model 29 3 Reconstruction of Mass Distributions of Δ0(1232) Resonances 32 3.1 Momentum distributions and mean multiplicities of protons and pions 33 3.2 The Method 36 3.3 Dependence of obtained parameters on cutoff parameter ε 41 3.4 Mass distributions of Δ0(1232) resonances 44 3.5 Fractions of negative pions coming from Δ0(1232) decay 47 3.6 Relative numbers of nucleons excited to 0(1232) at freeze- out conditions 51 4 Comparison of Kinematical Spectra of Δ0(1232) in p+12C and d+12C Collisions 54 4.1 Reconstruction of kinematical spectra of Δ0(1232) 55 4.1.1 Momentum, Transverse Momentum, Kinetic Energy, and Emission Angle distributions of Δ0(1232) resonances 56 xi 4.2 Rapidity distributions of Δ0(1232) resonances 62 5 Temperatures of Δ0(1232) Resonances 70 0 12 5.1 Spectra of Invariant Cross Sections of Δ (1232) in p+ C and d+12C collisions 71 0 5.2 Estimation of the freeze-out temperatures of Δ (1232) from analysis of reconstructed invariant transverse mass spectra 73 0 5.3 Extraction of the spectral temperatures of Δ (1232) within the framework of Hagedorn Thermodynamic Model 89 0 5.4 Comparison of spectral temperatures of Δ (1232) and negative pions in p+12C and d+12C collisions 92 6 Summary and Conclusions
