Insensitivity to the charm production rate is achieved by measuring normalized cumulant. The acollinearity of the D momenta in the transverse plane is a measure of the medium effect. Its dependence on nuclear size or E_T provides a signature for the formation of quark matter.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-12-01T16:42:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quark matter", "diagnostic probe", "charm correlation", "charm production rate", "open-charm mesons" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
