Abstract

The measurement of the direct-photon spectrum from Au+Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV is presented by the PHENIX Collaboration using the external-photon-conversion technique for 0%-93% central collisions in a transverse-momentum (p(T)) range of 0.8-10 GeV/c. An excess of direct photons, above prompt-photon production from hard-scattering processes, is observed for p(T) < 6 GeV/c. Nonprompt direct photons are measured by subtracting the prompt component, which is estimated as Ncoll-scaled direct photons from p + p collisions at 200 GeV, from the direct-photon spectrum. Results are obtained for 0.8 < p(T) < 6.0 GeV/c and suggest that the spectrum has an increasing inverse slope from approximate to 0.2 to 0.4 GeV/c with increasing p(T), which indicates a possible sensitivity of the measurement to photons from earlier stages of the evolution of the collision. In addition, like the direct-photon production, the p(T) -integrated nonprompt direct-photon yields also follow a power-law scaling behavior as a function of collision-system size. The exponent, a, for the nonprompt component is found to be consistent with 1.1 with no apparent p(T) dependence.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
