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.

Subjects: Parton Distributions, Uncertainties
Abstract: We report a new measurement of the midrapidity inclusive jet longitudinal double-spin asymmetry, A(LL), in polarized pp collisions at center-of-mass energy root s = 200 GeV. The STAR data place stringent constraints on polarized parton distribution functions extracted at next-to-leading order from global analyses of inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (DIS), semi-inclusive DIS, and RHIC pp data. The measured asymmetries provide evidence at the 3 sigma level for positive gluon polarization in the Bjorken-x region x > 0.05.

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.

Abstract: A search for the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) critical point was performed by the STAR experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, using dynamical fluctuations of unlike particle pairs. Heavy ion collisions were studied over a large range of collision energies with homogeneous acceptance and excellent particle identification, covering a significant range in the QCD phase diagram where a critical point may be located. Dynamical K pi, p pi, and Kp fluctuations as measured by the STAR experiment in central 0-5% Au + Au collisions from center-of-mass collision energies root s(NN) = 7.7 to 200 GeV are presented. The observable nu(dyn) was used to quantify the magnitude of the dynamical fluctuations in event-by-event measurements of the Kp, pp, and Kp pairs. The energy dependences of these fluctuations from central 0-5% Au + Au collisions all demonstrate a smooth evolution with collision energy.

Abstract: Event-by-event fluctuations of the multiplicities of inclusive charged particles and photons at forward rapidity in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV have been studied. The dominant contribution to such fluctuations is expected to come from correlated production of charged and neutral pions. We search for evidence of dynamical fluctuations of different physical origins. Observables constructed out of moments of multiplicities are used as measures of fluctuations. Mixed events and model calculations are used as base lines. Results are compared to the dynamical net-charge fluctuations measured in the same acceptance. A nonzero statistically significant signal of dynamical fluctuations is observed in excess to the model prediction when charged particles and photons are measured in the same acceptance. We find that, unlike dynamical net-charge fluctuation, charge-neutral fluctuation is not dominated by correlation owing to particle decay. Results are compared to the expectations based on the generic production mechanism of pions owing to isospin symmetry, for which no significant (

Abstract: We present Lambda Lambda correlation measurements in heavy-ion collisions for Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV using the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider. The Lednicky-Lyuboshitz analytical model has been used to fit the data to obtain a source size, a scattering length and an effective range. Implications of the measurement of the Lambda Lambda correlation function and interaction parameters for dihyperon searches are discussed.

Abstract: Azimuthal angular correlations of charged hadrons with respect to the axis of a reconstructed (trigger) jet in Au + Au and p + p collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV in STAR are presented. The trigger jet population in Au + Au collisions is biased toward jets that have not interacted with the medium, allowing easier matching of jet energies between Au + Au and p + p collisions while enhancing medium effects on the recoil jet. The associated hadron yield of the recoil jet is significantly suppressed at high transverse momentum (p(T)(assoc)) and enhanced at low p(T)(assoc) in 0%-20% central Au + Au collisions compared to p + p collisions, which is indicative of medium-induced parton energy loss in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions.

Abstract: The J/psi p(T) spectrum and nuclear modification factor (R-AA) are reported for p(T) < 5 GeV/c and vertical bar y vertical bar < 1 from 0% to 60% central Au + Au and Cu + Cu collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV at STAR. A significant suppression of p(T) - integrated J/psi production is observed in central Au + Au events. The Cu + Cu data are consistent with no suppression, although the precision is limited by the available statistics. R-AA in Au + Au collisions exhibits a strong suppression at low transverse momentum and gradually increases with p(T). The data are compared to high-p(T) STAR results and previously published BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider results. Comparing with model calculations, it is found that the invariant yields at low p(T) are significantly above hydrodynamic flow predictions but are consistent with models that include color screening and regeneration.

Abstract: The differential cross section and spin asymmetries for neutral pions produced within the intermediate pseudorapidity range 0.8 < eta < 2.0 in polarized proton-proton collisions at root s = 200 GeV are presented. Neutral pions were detected using the end cap electromagnetic calorimeter in the STAR detector at RHIC. The cross section was measured over a transverse momentum range of 5 < p(T) < 16 GeV/c and is found to agree with a next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculation. The longitudinal double-spin asymmetry A(LL) is measured in the same pseudorapidity range and spans a range of Bjorken-x down to x approximate to 0.01. The measured A(LL) is consistent with model predictions for varying degrees of gluon polarization. The parity-violating asymmetry A(L) is also measured and found to be consistent with zero. The transverse single-spin asymmetry A(N) is measured over a previously unexplored kinematic range in Feynman-x and p(T). Such measurements may aid our understanding of the onset and kinematic dependence of the large asymmetries observed at more forward pseudorapidity (eta approximate to 3) and their underlying mechanisms. The A(N) results presented are consistent with a twist-3 model prediction of a small asymmetry over the present kinematic range.

Abstract: We report the STAR measurements of dielectron (e(+)e(-)) production at midrapidity (vertical bar y(ee)vertical bar < 1) in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. The measurements are evaluated in different invariant mass regions with a focus on 0.30-0.76 (rho-like), 0.76-0.80 (omega-like), and 0.98-1.05 (phi-like) GeV/c(2). The spectrum in the omega-like and phi-like regions can be well described by the hadronic cocktail simulation. In the rho-like region, however, the vacuum rho spectral function cannot describe the shape of the dielectron excess. In this range, an enhancement of 1.77 +/- 0.11(stat) +/- 0.24(syst) +/- 0.33(cocktail) is determined with respect to the hadronic cocktail simulation that excludes the rho meson. The excess yield in the rho-like region increases with the number of collision participants faster than the omega and phi yields. Theoretical models with broadened rho contributions through interactions with constituents in the hot QCD medium provide a consistent description of the dilepton mass spectra for the measurement presented here and the earlier data at the Super Proton Synchrotron energies.

Abstract: We report the first measurement of charmed-hadron (D-0) production via the hadronic decay channel (D-0 -> K- + pi(+)) in Au + Au collisions at root(NN)-N-s = 200 GeV with the STAR experiment. The charm production cross section per nucleon- nucleon collision at midrapidity scales with the number of binary collisions, N-bin, from p + p to central Au + Au collisions. The D-0 meson yields in central Au + Au collisions are strongly suppressed compared to those in p + p scaled by N-bin, for transverse momenta p(T) > 3 GeV/c, demonstrating significant energy loss of charm quarks in the hot and dense medium. An enhancement at intermediate p(T) is also observed. Model calculations including strong charm-medium interactions and coalescence hadronization describe our measurements.

Abstract: We report the first measurements of the moments-mean (M), variance (sigma(2)), skewness (S), and kurtosis (kappa)-of the net-charge multiplicity distributions at midrapidity in Au + Au collisions at seven energies, ranging from root s(NN) = 7.7 to 200 GeV, as a part of the Beam Energy Scan program at RHIC. The moments are related to the thermodynamic susceptibilities of net charge, and are sensitive to the location of the QCD critical point. We compare the products of the moments, sigma(2)/M, S sigma, and kappa sigma(2), with the expectations from Poisson and negative binomial distributions (NBDs). The S sigma values deviate from the Poisson baseline and are close to the NBD baseline, while the kappa sigma(2) values tend to lie between the two. Within the present uncertainties, our data do not show nonmonotonic behavior as a function of collision energy. These measurements provide a valuable tool to extract the freeze-out parameters in heavy-ion collisions by comparing with theoretical models.
