Abstract

We present the first measurement of charge-dependent directed flow in Cu + Au collisions at root S-NN = 200 GeV. The results are presented as a function of the particle transverse momentum and pseudorapidity for different centralities. A finite difference between the directed flow of positive and negative charged particles is observed that qualitatively agrees with the expectations from the effects of the initial strong electric field between two colliding ions with different nuclear charges. The measured difference in directed flow is much smaller than that obtained from the parton-hadron-string-dynamics model, which suggests that most of the electric charges, i.e., quarks and antiquarks, have not yet been created during the lifetime of the strong electric field, which is of the order of, or less than, 1 fm/c.

Abstract

We present high precision measurements of elliptic flow near midrapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar < 1.0) for multistrange hadrons and phi meson as a function of centrality and transverse momentum in Au + Au collisions at center of mass energy root S (NN) = 200 GeV. We observe that the transverse momentum dependence of phi and Omega v(2) is similar to that of pi and p, respectively, which may indicate that the heavier strange quark flows as strongly as the lighter up and down quarks. This observation constitutes a clear piece of evidence for the development of partonic collectivity in heavy-ion collisions at the top RHIC energy. Number of constituent quark scaling is found to hold within statistical uncertainty for both 0%-30% and 30%-80% collision centrality. There is an indication of the breakdown of previously observed mass ordering between phi and proton v(2) at low transverse momentum in the 0%-30% centrality range, possibly indicating late hadronic interactions affecting the proton v(2).

Abstract

We report on the measurement of J/psi production in the dielectron channel at midrapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar < 1) in p + p and d + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV from the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The transverse momentum p(T) spectra in p + p for pT < 4 GeV/c and d + Au collisions for p(T) < 3 GeV/c are presented. These measurements extend the STAR coverage for J/psi production in p + p collisions to low p(T). The < p(T)(2)> from the measured J/psi invariant cross section in p + p and d + Au collisions are evaluated and compared to similar measurements at other collision energies. The nuclear modification factor for J/psi is extracted as a function of pT and collision centrality in d + Au and compared to model calculations using the modified nuclear parton distribution function and a final-state J/psi nuclear absorption cross section.

Abstract

Elliptic flow (v(2)) values for identified particles at midrapidity in Au + Au collisions measured by the STAR experiment in the Beam Energy Scan at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at root s(NN) = 7.7-62.4 GeV are presented for three centrality classes. The centrality dependence and the data at root s(NN) = 14.5 GeV are new. Except at the lowest beam energies, we observe a similar relative v(2) baryon-meson splitting for all centrality classes which is in agreement within 15% with the number-of-constituent quark scaling. The larger v(2) for most particles relative to antiparticles, already observed for minimum bias collisions, shows a clear centrality dependence, with the largest difference for the most central collisions. Also, the results are compared with a multiphase transport (AMPT) model and fit with a blast wave model.

Abstract

We present measurements of second-order azimuthal anisotropy (v(2)) at midrapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar < 1.0) for light nuclei d, t, He-3 (for root s(NN) = 200, 62.4, 39, 27, 19.6, 11.5, and 7.7 GeV) and antinuclei (root s(NN) = 200, 62.4, 39, 27, and 19.6 GeV) and (3)(He) over bar (root s(NN) = 200 GeV) in the STAR (Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC) experiment. The v(2) for these light nuclei produced in heavy-ion collisions is compared with those for p and (p) over bar. We observe mass ordering in nuclei v(2)(p(T)) at low transverse momenta (p(T) < 2.0 GeV/c). We also find a centrality dependence of v(2) for d and . The magnitude of v(2) for t and He-3 agree within statistical errors. Light-nuclei v(2) are compared with predictions from a blast-wave model. Atomic mass number (A) scaling of light-nuclei v(2)(p(T)) seems to hold for p(T)/A < 1.5 GeV/c. Results on light-nuclei v(2) from a transport-plus-coalescence model are consistent with the experimental measurements.

Abstract

We present measurements of the near side of triggered di-hadron correlations using neutral strange baryons ( A, (A) over bar) and mesons (K-s(0)) at intermediate transverse momentum ( 3 < p(T) < 6 GeV/c) to look for possible flavor and baryon-meson dependence. This study is performed in d+Au, Cu+Cu, and Au+Au collisions at root S-NN = 200 GeV measured by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The near-side di-hadron correlation contains two structures, a peak which is narrow in azimuth and pseudorapidity consistent with correlations from jet fragmentation, and a correlation in azimuth which is broad in pseudorapidity. The particle composition of the jet-like correlation is determined using identified associated particles. The dependence of the conditional yield of the jet-like correlation on the trigger particle momentum, associated particle momentum, and centrality for correlations with unidentified trigger particles are presented. The neutral strange particle composition in jet-like correlations with unidentified charged particle triggers is not well described by PYTHIA. However, the yield of unidentified particles in jet-like correlations with neutral strange particle triggers is described reasonably well by the same model.

Abstract

We present measurements of $\Omega$ and $\phi$ production at mid-rapidity from Au+Au collisions at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27 and 39 GeV by the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Motivated by the coalescence formation mechanism for these strange hadrons, we study the ratios of $N(\Omega^{-}+\Omega^{+})/(2N(\phi))$. These ratios as a function of transverse momentum ($p_T$) fall on a consistent trend at high collision energies, but start to show deviations in peripheral collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 19.6, 27 and 39 GeV, and in central collisions at 11.5 GeV in the intermediate $p_T$ region of 2.4-3.6 GeV/c. We further evaluate empirically the strange quark $p_T$ distributions at hadronization by studying the $\Omega/\phi$ ratios scaled by the number of constituent quarks. The NCQ-scaled $\Omega/\phi$ ratios show a suppression of strange quark production in central collisions at 11.5 GeV compared to $\sqrt{s_{NN}} >= 19.6$ GeV. The shapes of the presumably thermal strange quark distributions in 0-60% most central collisions at 7.7 GeV show significant deviations from those in 0-10% most central collisions at higher energies. These features suggest that there is likely a change of the underlying strange quark dynamics in the transition from quark-matter to hadronic matter at collision energies below 19.6 GeV., Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures

Abstract

We present a measurement of the inclusive production of. mesons in U + U collisions at root s(NN) = 193 GeV at midrapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar < 1). Previous studies in central Au+Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV show a suppression of Upsilon (1S+2S+3S) production relative to expectations from the Upsilon yield in p+p collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions (N-coll), with an indication that the.(1S) state is also suppressed. The present measurement extends the number of participant nucleons in the collision (N-part) by 20% compared to Au+Au collisions, and allows us to study a system with higher energy density. We observe a suppression in both the Upsilon (1S+2S+3S) and Upsilon (1S) yields in central U+U data, which consolidates and extends the previously observed suppression trend in Au+Au collisions.

Abstract

We present the measurement of the transverse single-spin asymmetry of weak boson production in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at root s = 500 GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The measured observable is sensitive to the Sivers function, one of the transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions, which is predicted to have the opposite sign in proton-proton collisions from that observed in deep inelastic lepton-proton scattering. These data provide the first experimental investigation of the nonuniversality of the Sivers function, fundamental to our understanding of QCD.

Abstract

Collisions between prolate uranium nuclei are used to study how particle production and azimuthal anisotropies depend on initial geometry in heavy-ion collisions. We report the two- and four-particle cumulants, v(2){2} and v(2){4}, for charged hadrons from U + U collisions at root s(NN) = 193 GeV and Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. Nearly fully overlapping collisions are selected based on the energy deposited by spectators in zero degree calorimeters (ZDCs). Within this sample, the observed dependence of v(2){2} on multiplicity demonstrates that ZDC information combined with multiplicity can preferentially select different overlap configurations in U + U collisions. We also show that v(2) vs multiplicity can be better described by models, such as gluon saturation or quark participant models, that eliminate the dependence of the multiplicity on the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions.

Abstract

We report on measurements of dielectron (e(+) e(-)) production in Au + Au collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV per nucleon-nucleon pair using the STAR detector at BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Systematic measurements of the dielectron yield as a function of transverse momentum (p(T)) and collision centrality show an enhancement compared to a cocktail simulation of hadronic sources in the low invariant-mass region (M-ee < 1 GeV / c(2)). This enhancement cannot be reproduced by the rho-meson vacuum spectral function. In minimum-bias collisions, in the invariant-mass range of 0.30-0.76 GeV / c(2), integrated over the full pT acceptance, the enhancement factor is 1.76 +/- 0.06 (stat.) +/- 0.26 (sys.) +/- 0.29 (cocktail). The enhancement factor exhibits weak centrality and pT dependence in STAR's accessible kinematic regions, while the excess yield in this invariant-mass region as a function of the number of participating nucleons follows a power-law shape with a power of 1.44 +/- 0.10. Models that assume an in-medium broadening of the rho-meson spectral function consistently describe the observed excess in these measurements. Additionally, we report on measurements of omega-and phi-meson production through their e+ e(-) decay channel. These measurements show good agreement with Tsallis blast-wave model predictions, as well as, in the case of the phi meson, results through its K+ K- decay channel. In the intermediate invariant-mass region (1.1 < Mee < 3 GeV / c(2)), we investigate the spectral shapes from different collision centralities. Physics implications for possible in-medium modification of charmed hadron production and other physics sources are discussed.
