چکیده
We present the first measurements of charge-dependent directed flow in Cu+Au collisions at sNN= 200 GeV. The directed flow has been measured as functions of the transverse momentum and pseudorapidity with the STAR detector. The results show a small but finite di↵erence between positively and negatively charged part cles. The di↵erence is qualitatively explained by the patron-hadron-string-dynamics (PHSD) model including the e↵ect of the electric field, but much smaller than the model calculation, which indicates only a small fraction of all final quarks are created within the lifetime of the initial electric field. Higher-order azimuthal anisotropic flow is also presented up to the fourth-order for unidentified charged particles and up to the third-order for identified charged particles (⇡, K, and p). For unidentified particles, the results are reasonably described by the event-by-event viscous hydrodynamic model with ⌘/s=0.08-0.16. The trends observed for identified particles in Cu+Au collisions are similar to those observed in symmetric (Au+Au) collisions.

Elliptic flow of charm and strange hadrons in high-multiplicity pPb collisions at sNN = 8.16 TeV
First measurements of the elliptic flow of prompt D0 mesons in comparison to KS, Λ, Ξ−, and Ω− hadrons in pPb collisions at √ sNN = 8.16 TeV are reported. The results are based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC and are presented for particles at midrapidity with transverse momentum up to 8 GeV/c after correcting for the contribution of back-to-back jet correlations. The results...
متن کاملPion flow and antiflow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
Within the framework of a relativistic transport model (ART 1.0) for heavy-ion collisions at AGS energies, we study the transverse flow of pions with respect to that of nucleons using two complementary approaches. It is found that in central collisions pions develop a weak flow as a result of the flow of baryon resonances from which they are produced. On the other hand, they have a weak antiflo...
متن کامل(Anti)proton and Pion Source Sizes and Phase Space Densities in Heavy Ion Collisions
NA44 has measured mid-rapidity deuteron spectra from AA collisions at √ snn ≈ 18 GeV at the CERN SPS. Combining these spectra with published p, p̄ and d̄ data allows us to calculate, within a coalescence framework, p and p̄ source sizes and phase space densities. These results are compared to π source sizes measured by Hanbury-Brown Twiss, HBT, interferometry and phase densites produced by combini...
متن کاملProtons, Deuterons and Flow
Proton and deuteron mT spectra and rapidity densities at y = 1.9− 2.3 are presented for central SS, SPb and PbPb collisions. The inverse slopes increase with system size and mass. The radius parameter, RG, extracted from ratios of the spectra increases with system size. RG ∝ 1/ √ mT consistent with transverse flow and NA44’s HBT results. Experiment NA44 NA44 measures particle spectra and correl...
متن کاملW boson studies in pPb and PbPb collisions with CMS
The electroweak W bosons do not participate in the strong interaction, and thus constitute clean probes of the initial state of nuclear collisions. They provide a unique constraint on the nuclear parton distributions, in particular on the antiquarks from the sea. A first analysis of PbPb data has confirmed the medium-blind characteristic of the electroweak bosons. With the new pPb data, collect...
