The $\\mathrm{{p}_{T}}$ spectra of $\\pi^{\\pm}$, $K^{\\pm}$, $p(\\bar{p})$ and $\\Lambda(\\bar{\\Lambda})$ in different centrality bins and the nuclear modification factors ($R_{CP}$) for these hadrons are calculated. The centrality dependence of the average collective transverse velocity $<\\beta (r)>$ for the hot and dense quark matter is obtained in Au+Au collisions, and it is applied to a relative smaller Cu+Cu collision system. The centrality dependence of $\\mathrm{{p}_{T}}$ spectra and the $R_{CP}$ for $\\pi^{0}$, $K_{s}^{0}$ and $\\Lambda$ in Cu+Cu collisions at $\\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 200$ GeV are well described. The results show that $<\\beta (r)>$ is only a function of the number of participants $N_{part}$ and it is independent of the collision system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-03-05T07:22:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "25.75.Nq", "25.75.Ld", "25.75.-q" ], "keywords": [ "centrality dependence", "identified hadrons", "collision system", "nuclear modification factors", "transverse momentum spectra" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1674-1137/32/12/007", "journal": "Chinese Physics C", "year": 2008, "month": "Dec", "volume": 32, "number": 12, "pages": 976 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 779665, "adsabs": "2008ChPhC..32..976W" } } }
