Average transverse momentum as a function of the longitudinal momentum

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the relationship between average transverse momentum (####) and longitudinal momentum (##p_L##) in particle physics, particularly in the context of hadron collisions such as pp, pA, or AA. Participants emphasize the importance of "rapidity distributions" as a key concept for understanding this relationship. The original poster seeks references and resources to further their study but has encountered difficulties due to poor-quality materials provided by their professor. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in research objectives to facilitate better assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of average transverse momentum (####) and longitudinal momentum (##p_L##)
  • Familiarity with particle collision types: pp, pA, and AA
  • Knowledge of rapidity distributions in particle physics
  • Ability to interpret scientific literature and research papers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "rapidity distributions" in particle physics literature
  • Explore academic papers on transverse and longitudinal momentum relationships
  • Investigate resources on hadron collisions and their implications
  • Look for online databases or repositories for high-resolution scientific PDFs
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in particle physics, particularly those studying momentum distributions in hadron collisions, will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
Dip in the distribution of the average transverse momentum as a function of the longitudinal momentum
Hello everybody!

I am working on a code in which I need to study the dependence of ##<p_T>## vs ##p_L## (the average transverse momentum and the longitudinal momentum of a particle). I am looking for references, papers, books, etc. concerning this topic, but I have not been so lucky. My professor has given us some information, but the resolution of the pdf is extremely poor (illegible!)
Can you give me some help, please?

Are you talking about hadrons in pp, pA or AA collisions? Then have a look for "rapidity distributions". There is for sure tons of material online. It would be better, you'd tell us some details about what you are after!
