  1. Charged particle spectra and nuclear modification factor in lead-lead collisions at √ s NN = 2 . 76 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC Petr Balek for the ATLAS collaboration 16 August 2012 IPNP, Charles University in Prague Petr Balek 16 August 2012 1 / 19

  2. introduction why to study charged particle spectra? ◮ to understand properties of hot dense matter created in HI collisions ◮ to understand the mechanism of energy loss of partons study ratio of central (C) and peripheral (P) spectra: N coll ( C ) · N events , C d 2 N C / d η d p T 1 R CP = 1 N coll ( P ) · N events , P d 2 N P / d η d p T as a peripheral bin we take 60–80% previously measured R CP and spectra up to 30 GeV high luminosity collected by ATLAS in 2011 allow us to extend previous measurements Petr Balek 16 August 2012 2 / 19

  4. determination of centrality centrality based on energy deposited in Forward Calorimeter – 3 . 1 < | η | < 4 . 9 model – based on Glauber calculation convoluted with p+p data Petr Balek 16 August 2012 4 / 19

  5. event selection used data 2010 and 2011: minimum bias 2010 – 7 µ b − 1 , 50.7M events ◮ MBTS or ZDC minimum bias 2011 – 7 µ b − 1 , 50.7M events ◮ total energy > 50 GeV ◮ or signal from ZDC+track hard probes 2011 – 0.14 nb − 1 , 998M sampled events ◮ unprescaled jet trigger; anti-k T , E T > 20 GeV Petr Balek 16 August 2012 5 / 19
