Probe for the strong parity violation effects at RHIC with three particle correlations
نویسنده
چکیده
In non-central relativistic heavy ion collisions, P-odd domains, which might be created in the process of the collision, are predicted to lead to charge separation along the system orbital momentum [1]. An observable, P-even, but directly sensitive to the charge separation effect, has been proposed in [2] and is based on 3-particle mixed harmonics azimuthal correlations. We report the STAR measurements using this observable for Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at √ sNN=200 and 62 GeV. The results are reported as function of collision centrality, particle separation in rapidity, and particle transverse momentum. Effects that are not related to parity violation but might contribute to the signal are discussed.

Global polarization and parity violation study in Au+Au collisions
We present results on the parity violation effects and global system polarization measurements in Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 62 GeV obtained with the STAR detector at RHIC. The parity violation effects are studied by three particle azimuthal correlations of charged particles. The global polarization of the system is examined by measuring the polarization of strange hyperons with respect to the...

متن کاملHighlights from STAR: probing the early medium in heavy ion collisions
We present highlights of recent results from the STAR Collaboration at RHIC, focusing on the properties of the early medium created in heavy ion collisions. We emphasize the strangeness production including the observation of a hypernucleus (the hypertriton), the observation of reaction-plane-dependent angular correlation of charged particles searching for local strong parity violation effects ...
