Awards & Achievements

1998 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For his contributions to experimental highenergy nuclear physics including his leadership of Fermilab E866, his penetrating contributions to the understanding of Jy production in nuclear collisions, and his insight and leadership in helping formulate the conceptual design of the PHENIX detector at RHIC

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Electron
  • Particle physics

P. L. McGaughey spends much of his time researching Nuclear physics, Particle physics, Hadron, Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and Pion. His work deals with themes such as Spectral line, Elliptic flow and Anisotropy, which intersect with Nuclear physics. His Nucleon, Rapidity and Large Hadron Collider study, which is part of a larger body of work in Particle physics, is frequently linked to Centrality and Scaling, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Hadron study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Meson, Charged particle, Elementary particle, Atomic physics and Antimatter. His Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Jet, Perturbative QCD, Quantum chromodynamics, Parton and Particle decay. The Pion study combines topics in areas such as Antiproton and Coulomb.

His most cited work include:

  • Formation of dense partonic matter in relativistic nucleus–nucleus collisions at RHIC: Experimental evaluation by the PHENIX Collaboration (2002 citations)
  • Suppression of hadrons with large transverse momentum in central Au + Au collisions at √sNN = 130 GeV (676 citations)
  • Identified charged particle spectra and yields in Au + Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV (529 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Nuclear physics, Particle physics, Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, Hadron and Rapidity. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Nuclear physics, concentrating on Atomic physics and frequently concerns with Fragmentation. In his research, Distribution function is intimately related to Proton, which falls under the overarching field of Particle physics.

His Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider research incorporates themes from Range, Transverse momentum, Charm and Asymmetry. His research on Hadron also deals with topics like

  • Elementary particle and related Lepton,
  • Elliptic flow, which have a strong connection to Anisotropy. His Rapidity research incorporates elements of Muon, Quark–gluon plasma, Glauber, Nuclear matter and Pseudorapidity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Nuclear physics (79.84%)
  • Particle physics (49.86%)
  • Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (29.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Nuclear physics (79.84%)
  • Particle physics (49.86%)
  • Rapidity (19.62%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

P. L. McGaughey mainly focuses on Nuclear physics, Particle physics, Rapidity, Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and Hadron. His Nuclear physics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Photon, Momentum and Asymmetry. Within one scientific family, P. L. McGaughey focuses on topics pertaining to Polarization under Particle physics, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Helicity, Computational physics, Particle physics experiments and Q meter.

P. L. McGaughey has researched Rapidity in several fields, including Multiplicity, Range, Glauber, Scattering cross-section and Anisotropy. The concepts of his Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider study are interwoven with issues in Strangeness, Energy, Muon and Gluon. P. L. McGaughey has included themes like Nuclear matter, Atomic physics and Modification factor in his Hadron study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Creating small circular, elliptical, and triangular droplets of quark-gluon plasma (115 citations)
  • Transverse energy production and charged-particle multiplicity at midrapidity in various systems from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=7.7$ to 200 GeV (71 citations)
  • Azimuthally anisotropic emission of low-momentum direct photons in Au + Au collisions at sNN =200 GeV (59 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Electron
  • Photon

Nuclear physics, Rapidity, Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, Particle physics and Hadron are his primary areas of study. P. L. McGaughey is interested in Quark–gluon plasma, which is a branch of Nuclear physics. His research integrates issues of Multiplicity, Meson, Glauber, Nucleon and Pseudorapidity in his study of Rapidity.

His studies deal with areas such as Particle accelerator, Energy and Photon as well as Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Particle physics connects with themes related to PHENIX detector in his study. P. L. McGaughey combines subjects such as Quark and Atomic physics with his study of Hadron.
