Impact of initial fluctuations and nuclear deformations in isobar collisions

Relativistic isobar (Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr) collisions have revealed intricate differences in their nuclear size and shape, inspiring unconventional studies of nuclear structure using relativistic heavy ion collisions. In this study, we investigate the relative differences in the mean multiplicity () and the second- () and third-order eccentricity () between isobar collisions using Optical and Monte Carlo Glauber models. It is found that initial fluctuations and nuclear deformations have negligible effects on in most central collisions, while both are important for the and , the degree of which is sensitive to the underlying nucleonic or sub-nucleonic degree of freedom. These features, compared to real data, may probe the particle production mechanism and the physics underlying nuclear structure.

Transverse momentum (p⊥) generation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is sensitive to the initial geometry and the final-state bulk evolution. We demonstrate with hydrodynamic calculations that the mean p⊥ ratio (R〈 p⊥〉) between the highly similar isobar Ru 44 96+ Ru 44 96 and Zr 40 96+ Zr 40 96 collisions is insensitive to the bulk evolution and remains sensitive to the small difference in the initial nuclear structure (neutron skin and deformation) between the Ru and Zr nuclei. We further find that nuclear deformation can produce an anticorrelation between R〈 p⊥〉 and eccentricity (or elliptic flow) in central collisions. These findings suggest that the R〈 p⊥〉 between the isobar systems can be used to measure the neutron skin thickness and deformation parameters, which can, in turn, constrain the nuclear symmetry energy slope parameter.

The collective behavior of and strange hadrons is studied by measuring the elliptic azimuthal anisotropy (v 2) using the scalar-product and multiparticle correlation methods. Proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy= 8. 16 TeV and lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at= 5. 02 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC are investigated. Nonflow effects in the pPb collisions are studied by using a subevent cumulant analysis and by excluding events where a jet with transverse momentum greater than 20 GeV is present. The strange hadron v 2 values extracted in pPb collisions via the four-and six-particle correlation method are found to be nearly identical, suggesting the collective behavior. Comparisons of the pPb and PbPb results for both strange hadrons and charged particles illustrate how event-by-event flow fluctuations depend on the system size.

Multiplicity and transverse momentum dependence of charge-balance functions in pPb and PbPb collisions at LHC energies

Measurements of the charge-dependent two-particle angular correlation function in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of = 8.16 TeV and lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at = 5.02 TeV are reported. The pPb and PbPb datasets correspond to integrated luminosities of 186\nbinv and 0.607 nb, respectively, and were collected using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The charge-dependent correlations are characterized by balance functions of same- and opposite-sign particle pairs. The balance functions, which contain information about the creation time of charged particle pairs and the development of collectivity, are studied as functions of relative pseudorapidity () and relative azimuthal angle (), for various multiplicity and transverse momentum () intervals. A multiplicity dependence of the balance function is observed in and for both systems. The width of the balance functions decreases towards high-multiplicity collisions in the momentum region 2 GeV, for pPb and PbPb results. No multiplicity dependence is observed at higher transverse momentum. The data are compared with HYDJET, HIJING and AMPT generator predictions, none of which capture completely the multiplicity dependence seen in the data.

We celebrate the legacies of our friend and mentor Professor Lianshou Liu who was one of the pioneers for the phenomenology of multi-particle interactions and initiated the physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions in China. In this article, we discuss some of the recent exciting experimental observations on the collective phenomena including collectivity, chirality, criticality, strangeness production, and thermal equilibrium in high-energy nuclear collisions. Future directions, especially the physics at high baryon density, will be discussed with a focus on the first-order phase boundary and hyperon–nucleon interactions.

We use a coalescence model to generate f 0 (980) particles for four configurations: s s¯ meson, u u¯ s s¯ tetraquark, K K¯ molecule, and u u¯ p-wave state. The phase-space information of the coalescing constituents is taken from a multi-phase transport (AMPT) simulation of proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (pPb) collisions at the LHC. It is shown that the transverse momentum spectra and production yields of f 0 (980) differ significantly among the configurations. It is suggested that the p T spectra of the f 0 (980) compared to those of other hadrons (such as pion) and the ratio of the f 0 (980) p T spectra in pPb over pp collisions can be exploited to tell the configuration of the f 0 (980).

A linearly polarized photon can be quantized from the Lorentz-boosted electromagnetic field of a nucleus traveling at ultrarelativistic speed. When two relativistic heavy nuclei pass one another at a distance of a few nuclear radii, the photon from one nucleus may interact through a virtual quark-antiquark pair with gluons from the other nucleus, forming a short-lived vector meson (e.g., ρ0). In this experiment, the polarization was used in diffractive photoproduction to observe a unique spin interference pattern in the angular distribution of ρ0 → π+π− decays. The observed interference is a result of an overlap of two wave functions at a distance an order of magnitude larger than the ρ0 travel distance within its lifetime. The strong-interaction nuclear radii were extracted from these diffractive interactions and found to be 6.53 ± 0.06 fm (197Au) and 7.29 ± 0.08 fm (238U), larger than the nuclear charge radii.

Correlation measurements with respect to the spectator and participant planes in relativistic heavy ion collisions were proposed to extract the chiral magnetic effect (CME) from background dominated azimuthal correlators. This paper investigates the effects of two-and three-particle nonflow correlations on the extracted CME signal fraction, f CME. It is found, guided by a multiphase transport (ampt) model and the heavy ion jet interaction generator (hijing) together with experimental data, that the nonflow effects amount to approximately (4±5)% and (− 5±3)% without and with pseudorapidity gaps, respectively, in 20–50% centrality Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 200 GeV.

In a recent preprint arXiv:2203.10029, the authors argue for a multiplicity scaling of the squared inverse width of the distribution to claim a positive signal for the chiral magnetic effect from STAR's isobar data, in stark contradiction to the conclusion reached by the STAR Collaboration. This Comment points out the fallacy of their arguments and reinforces the STAR conclusion.

The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a novel transport phenomenon, arising from the interplay between quantum anomalies and strong magnetic fields in chiral systems. In high-energy nuclear collisions, the CME may survive the expansion of the quark-gluon plasma fireball and be detected in experiments. Over the past two decades, experimental searches for the CME have attracted extensive interest at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main goal of this study is to investigate three pertinent experimental approaches: the

We report high-precision measurements of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry, A L L, for midrapidity inclusive jet and dijet production in polarized p p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s= 200 GeV. The new inclusive jet data are sensitive to the gluon helicity distribution, Δ g (x, Q 2), for gluon momentum fractions in the range from x≃ 0.05 to x≃ 0.5, while the new dijet data provide further constraints on the x dependence of Δ g (x, Q 2). The results are in good agreement with previous measurements at s= 200 GeV and with recent theoretical evaluations of prior world data. Our new results have better precision and thus strengthen the evidence that Δ g (x, Q 2) is positive for x> 0.05.

The STAR Collaboration reports measurements of back-to-back azimuthal correlations of di-π 0 s produced at forward pseudorapidities (2.6< η< 4.0) in p+ p, p+ Al, and p+ Au collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV. We observe a clear suppression of the correlated yields of back-to-back π 0 pairs in p+ Al and p+ Au collisions compared to the p+ p data. The observed suppression of back-to-back pairs as a function of transverse momentum suggests nonlinear gluon dynamics arising at high parton densities. The larger suppression found in p+ Au relative to p+ Al collisions exhibits a dependence of the saturation scale Q s 2 on the mass number A. A linear scaling of the suppression with A 1/3 is observed with a slope of− 0.09±0.01.

We report a new measurement of the production cross section for inclusive electrons from open heavy-flavor hadron decays as a function of transverse momentum (p T) at midrapidity (| y|< 0.7) in p+ p collisions at s= 200 GeV. The result is presented for 2.5< p T< 10 GeV/c with an improved precision above 6 GeV/c with respect to the previous measurements, providing more constraints on perturbative QCD calculations. Moreover, this measurement also provides a high-precision reference for measurements of nuclear modification factors for inclusive electrons from open-charm and-bottom hadron decays in heavy-ion collisions.

We report on the measurements of directed flow v 1 and elliptic flow v 2 for hadrons (π±, K±, K S 0, p, ϕ, Λ and Ξ−) from Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 3 GeV and v 2 for (π±, K±, p and p‾) at 27 and 54.4 GeV with the STAR experiment. While at the two higher energy midcentral collisions the number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) scaling holds, at 3 GeV the v 2 at midrapidity is negative for all hadrons and the NCQ scaling is absent. In addition, the v 1 slopes at midrapidity for almost all observed hadrons are found to be positive, implying dominant repulsive baryonic interactions. The features of negative v 2 and positive v 1 slope at 3 GeV can be reproduced with a baryonic mean-field in transport model calculations. These results imply that the medium in such collisions is likely characterized by baryonic interactions.

We report cumulants of the proton multiplicity distribution from dedicated fixed-target Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 3.0 GeV, measured by the STAR experiment in the kinematic acceptance of rapidity (y) and transverse momentum (p T) within− 0.5< y< 0 and 0.4< p T< 2.0 GeV/c. In the most central 0%–5% collisions, a proton cumulant ratio is measured to be C 4/C 2=− 0.85±0.09 (stat)±0.82 (syst), which is 2 σ below the Poisson baseline with respect to both the statistical and systematic uncertainties. The hadronic transport UrQMD model reproduces our C 4/C 2 in the measured acceptance. Compared to higher energy results and the transport model calculations, the suppression in C 4/C 2 is consistent with fluctuations driven by baryon number conservation and indicates an energy regime dominated by hadronic interactions. These data imply that the QCD critical region, if created in heavy-ion collisions, could only …

We report the first multi-differential measurements of strange hadrons of K−, ϕ and Ξ− yields as well as the ratios of ϕ/K− and ϕ/Ξ− in Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 3 GeV with the STAR experiment fixed target configuration at RHIC. The ϕ mesons and Ξ− hyperons are measured through hadronic decay channels, ϕ→ K+ K− and Ξ−→ Λ π−. Collision centrality and rapidity dependence of the transverse momentum spectra for these strange hadrons are presented. The 4π yields and ratios are compared to thermal model and hadronic transport model predictions. At this collision energy, thermal model with grand canonical ensemble (GCE) under-predicts the ϕ/K− and ϕ/Ξ− ratios while the result of canonical ensemble (CE) calculations reproduce ϕ/K−, with the correlation length r c∼ 2.7 fm, and ϕ/Ξ−, r c∼ 4.2 fm, for the 0-10% central collisions. Hadronic transport models including high mass resonance decays could …

Measurement by the STAR experiment at RHIC of the cold nuclear matter (CNM) effects experienced by inclusive J/ψ at mid-rapidity in 0-100% p+ Au collisions at s NN= 200 GeV is presented. Such effects are quantified utilizing the nuclear modification factor, R p Au, obtained by taking a ratio of J/ψ yield in p+ Au collisions to that in p+p collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. The differential J/ψ yield in both p+p and p+ Au collisions is measured through the dimuon decay channel, taking advantage of the trigger capability provided by the Muon Telescope Detector in the RHIC 2015 run. Consequently, the J/ψ R p Au is derived within the transverse momentum (p T) range of 0 to 10 GeV/c. A suppression of approximately 30% is observed for p T< 2 GeV/c, while J/ψ R p Au becomes compatible with unity for p T greater than 3 GeV/c, indicating the J/ψ yield is minimally affected by the CNM …

In high-energy heavy-ion collisions, partonic collectivity is evidenced by the constituent quark number scaling of elliptic flow anisotropy for identified hadrons. A breaking of this scaling and dominance of baryonic interactions is found for identified hadron collective flow measurements in s NN= 3 GeV Au+ Au collisions. In this paper, we report measurements of the first-and second-order azimuthal anisotropic parameters, v 1 and v 2, of light nuclei (d, t, 3 He, 4 He) produced in s NN= 3 GeV Au+ Au collisions at the STAR experiment. An atomic mass number scaling is found in the measured v 1 slopes of light nuclei at mid-rapidity. For the measured v 2 magnitude, a strong rapidity dependence is observed. Unlike v 2 at higher collision energies, the v 2 values at mid-rapidity for all light nuclei are negative and no scaling is observed with the atomic mass number.

We report precision measurements of hypernuclei H Λ 3 and H Λ 4 lifetimes obtained from Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 3.0 GeV and 7.2 GeV collected by the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and the first measurement of H Λ 3 and H Λ 4 midrapidity yields in Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 3.0 GeV. H Λ 3 and H Λ 4, being the two simplest bound states composed of hyperons and nucleons, are cornerstones in the field of hypernuclear physics. Their lifetimes are measured to be 221±15 (stat)±19 (syst) ps for H Λ 3 and 218±6 (stat)±13 (syst) ps for H Λ 4. The p T-integrated yields of H Λ 3 and H Λ 4 are presented in different centrality and rapidity intervals. It is observed that the shape of the rapidity distribution of H Λ 4 is different for 0%–10% and 10%–50% centrality collisions. Thermal model calculations, using the canonical ensemble for strangeness, describes the H Λ 3 yield well, while …

Two-particle correlation measurements projected onto two-dimensional, transverse rapidity coordinates (y T 1, y T 2) provide an independent, orthogonal view of the multidimensional correlation distribution that is most often studied via angular projections. As such, these independent transverse projections allow access to manifestations of dynamical fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions that angular-correlation measurements may not be sensitive to. We report nonidentified charged-particle correlations for Au+ Au minimum-bias collisions at s NN= 200 GeV taken by the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC). Correlations are presented as two-dimensional functions of transverse rapidity for like-sign, unlike-sign, and all charged-particle pairs, as well as for particle pairs whose relative azimuthal angles lie on the near-side, the away-side, or at all relative azimuth. The correlations are …

The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is predicted to occur as a consequence of a local violation of P and C P symmetries of the strong interaction amidst a strong electromagnetic field generated in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Experimental manifestation of the CME involves a separation of positively and negatively charged hadrons along the direction of the magnetic field. Previous measurements of the CME-sensitive charge-separation observables remain inconclusive because of large background contributions. To better control the influence of signal and backgrounds, the STAR Collaboration performed a blind analysis of a large data sample of approximately 3.8 billion isobar collisions of Ru 44 96+ Ru 44 96 and Zr 40 96+ Zr 40 96 at s N N= 200 GeV. Prior to the blind analysis, the CME signatures are predefined as a significant excess of the CME-sensitive observables in Ru+ Ru collisions over those in Zr+ Zr …

Understanding gluon density distributions and how they are modified in nuclei are among the most important goals in nuclear physics. In recent years, diffractive vector meson production measured in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) at heavy-ion colliders has provided a new tool for probing the gluon density. In this Letter, we report the first measurement of J/ψ photoproduction off the deuteron in UPCs at the center-of-mass energy s NN= 200 GeV in d+ Au collisions. The differential cross section as a function of momentum transfer− t is measured. In addition, data with a neutron tagged in the deuteron-going zero-degree calorimeter is investigated for the first time, which is found to be consistent with the expectation of incoherent diffractive scattering at low momentum transfer. Theoretical predictions based on the color glass condensate saturation model and the leading twist approximation nuclear shadowing model …

Multiparticle azimuthal correlations of prompt D 0 mesons are measured in Pb-Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of s NN= 5.02 TeV. For the first time, a four-particle cumulant method is used to extract the second Fourier coefficient of the azimuthal distribution (v 2) of D 0 mesons as a function of event centrality and the D 0 transverse momentum. The ratios of the four-particle v 2 values to previously measured two-particle cumulant results provide direct experimental access to event-by-event fluctuations of charm quark azimuthal anisotropies. These ratios are also found to be comparable to those of inclusive charged particles in the event. However, hints of deviations are seen in the most central and peripheral collisions. To investigate the origin of flow fluctuations in the charm sector, these measurements are compared to a model implementing fluctuations of charm quark energy loss via …

Two-particle correlation measurements projected onto two-dimensional, transverse rapidity coordinates (), allow access to dynamical properties of the QCD medium produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions that angular correlation measurements are not sensitive to. We report non-identified charged-particle correlations for Au + Au minimum-bias collisions at = 200 GeV taken by the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC). Correlations are presented as 2D functions of transverse rapidity for like-sign, unlike-sign and all charged-particle pairs, as well as for particle pairs whose relative azimuthal angles lie on the near-side, the away-side, or at all relative azimuth. The correlations are constructed using charged particles with transverse momentum GeV/, pseudorapidity from 1 to 1, and azimuthal angles from to . The significant correlation structures that are observed evolve smoothly with collision centrality. The major correlation features include a saddle shape plus a broad peak with maximum near , corresponding to 1.5 GeV/. The broad peak is observed in both like- and unlike-sign charge combinations and in near- and away-side relative azimuthal angles. The all-charge, all-azimuth correlation measurements are compared with the theoretical predictions of {\sc hijing} and {\sc epos}. The results indicate that the correlations for peripheral to mid-central collisions can be approximately described as a superposition of nucleon + nucleon collisions with minimal effects from the QCD medium. Strong medium effects are indicated in mid- to most-central collisions.

Quark interactions with topological gluon configurations can induce local chirality imbalance and parity violation in quantum chromodynamics, which can lead to the chiral magnetic effect (CME)—an electric charge separation along the strong magnetic field in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The CME-sensitive azimuthal correlator observable (Δ γ) is contaminated by background arising, in part, from resonance decays coupled with elliptic anisotropy (v 2). We report here differential measurements of the correlator as a function of the pair invariant mass (m inv) in 20–50% centrality Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 200 GeV by the STAR experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Strong resonance background contributions to Δ γ are observed. At large m inv where this background is significantly reduced, the Δ γ value is found to be significantly smaller. An event-shape-engineering technique is deployed to …

The chiral magnetic effect (CME) refers to charge separation along a strong magnetic field due to imbalanced chirality of quarks in local parity and charge-parity violating domains in quantum chromodynamics. The experimental measurement of the charge separation is made difficult by the presence of a major background from elliptic azimuthal anisotropy. This background and the CME signal have different sensitivities to the spectator and participant planes, and could thus be determined by measurements with respect to these planes. We report such measurements in Au+ Au collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider. It is found that the charge separation, with the flow background removed, is consistent with zero in peripheral (large impact parameter) collisions. Some indication of finite CME signals is seen in midcentral (intermediate impact parameter …

Neutron skin thickness (Δ r np) of nuclei and the inferred nuclear symmetry energy are of critical importance to nuclear physics and astrophysics. It is traditionally measured by nuclear processes with significant theoretical uncertainties. We recently proposed an indirect measurement of the Δ r np by charged hadron multiplicities in central isobaric collisions at relativistic energies, which are sensitive to nuclear densities. In this Letter, we propose a direct measurement of the Δ r np by using net-charge multiplicities in ultraperipheral (grazing) collisions of those isobars, under the assumption that they are simple superimposition of nucleon-nucleon interactions. We illustrate this novel approach by the trento and urqmd models.

The STAR collaboration presents jet substructure measurements related to both the momentum fraction and the opening angle within jets in p+ p and Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 200 GeV. The substructure observables include SoftDrop groomed momentum fraction (z g), groomed jet radius (R g), and subjet momentum fraction (z SJ) and opening angle (θ SJ). The latter observable is introduced for the first time. Fully corrected subjet measurements are presented for p+ p collisions and are compared to leading-order Monte Carlo models. The subjet θ SJ distributions reflect the jets leading opening angle and are utilized as a proxy for the resolution scale of the medium in Au+ Au collisions. We compare data from Au+ Au collisions to those from p+ p which are embedded in minimum-bias Au+ Au events in order to include the effects of detector smearing and the heavy-ion collision underlying event.

We present high-precision measurements of elliptic, triangular, and quadrangular flow v 2, v 3, and v 4, respectively, at midrapidity for identified hadrons π, p, K, φ, K s, Λ as a function of centrality and transverse momentum in Au+ Au collisions at the center-of-mass energy s N N= 200 GeV. We observe similar v n trends between light and strange mesons which indicates that the heavier strange quarks flow as strongly as the lighter up and down quarks. The number-of-constituent-quark scaling for v 2, v 3, and v 4 is found to hold within statistical uncertainty for 0–10%, 10–40%, and 40–80% collision centrality intervals. The results are compared to several viscous hydrodynamic calculations with varying initial conditions, and could serve as an additional constraint to the development of hydrodynamic models.

Transverse momentum (p(T)) dependence of flow coefficients (v(2), v(3), and v(4)) is presented for minimum bias collisions and three different centrality intervals. Number of constituent quark scaling of the measured flow coefficients in U + U collisions is discussed. We also present the ratio of v(n) scaled by the participant eccentricity (epsilon(n){2}) to explore system size dependence and collectivity in U + U collisions. The magnitude of nu(2)/epsilon(2) is found to be smaller in U + U collisions than that in central Au + Au collisions contradicting naive eccentricity scaling. Furthermore, the ratios between …

The beam energy scan (BES) program at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) was extended to energies below s N N= 7.7 GeV in 2015 by successful implementation of the fixed-target mode of operation in the STAR (Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC) experiment. In this mode, ions circulate in one ring of the collider and interact with a stationary target at the entrance of the STAR time projection chamber. The first results for Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 4.5 GeV are presented, demonstrating good performance of all the relevant detector subsystems in fixed-target mode. Results presented here include directed and elliptic flow of identified hadrons, and radii from pion femtoscopy. The latter, together with recent HADES results, reveal a long-sought peak structure that may be caused by the system evolving through a first-order phase transition from quark-gluon plasma to the hadronic phase. Directed and elliptic flow …

The B0 s and B+ production yields are measured in PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV. The data sample, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 nb-1. The mesons are reconstructed in the exclusive decay channels B0 s→ J/ψ (µ+ µ-) φ (K+K-) and B+→ J/ψ (µ+ µ-) K+, in the transverse momentum range 7–50 GeV/c and absolute rapidity 0–2.4. The B0 s meson is observed with a statistical significance in excess of five standard deviations for the first time in nucleus-nucleus collisions. The measurements are performed as functions of the transverse momentum of the B mesons and of the PbPb collision centrality. The ratio of production yields of B0 s and B+ is measured and compared to theoretical models that include quark recombination effects.

We report on the first measurement of charm-strange meson D s±production at midrapidity in Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 200 GeV from the STAR experiment. The yield ratio between strange (D s±) and nonstrange (D 0) open-charm mesons is presented and compared to model calculations. A significant enhancement, relative to a pythia simulation of p+ p collisions, is observed in the D s±/D 0 yield ratio in Au+ Au collisions over a large range of collision centralities. Model calculations incorporating abundant strange-quark production in the quark-gluon plasma and coalescence hadronization qualitatively reproduce the data. The transverse-momentum integrated yield ratio of D s±/D 0 at midrapidity is consistent with a prediction from a statistical hadronization model with the parameters constrained by the yields of light and strange hadrons measured at the same collision energy. These results suggest that the …

The STAR Collaboration reports measurements of the transverse single-spin asymmetry (TSSA) of inclusive π 0 at center-of-mass energies (s) of 200 GeV and 500 GeV in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions in the pseudo-rapidity region 2.7 to 4.0. The results at the two different energies show a continuous increase of the TSSA with Feynman-x, and, when compared to previous measurements, no dependence on s from 19.4 GeV to 500 GeV is found. To investigate the underlying physics leading to this large TSSA, different topologies have been studied. π 0 with no nearby particles tend to have a higher TSSA than inclusive π 0. The TSSA for inclusive electromagnetic jets, sensitive to the Sivers effect in the initial state, is substantially smaller, but shows the same behavior as the inclusive π 0 asymmetry as a function of Feynman-x. To investigate final-state effects, the Collins asymmetry of π 0 inside …

Nonmonotonic variation with collision energy (s NN) of the moments of the net-baryon number distribution in heavy-ion collisions, related to the correlation length and the susceptibilities of the system, is suggested as a signature for the quantum chromodynamics critical point. We report the first evidence of a nonmonotonic variation in the kurtosis times variance of the net-proton number (proxy for net-baryon number) distribution as a function of s NN with 3.1 σ significance for head-on (central) gold-on-gold (Au+ Au) collisions measured solenoidal tracker at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Data in noncentral Au+ Au collisions and models of heavy-ion collisions without a critical point show a monotonic variation as a function of s NN.

Global hyperon polarization, PH, in Au+ Au collisions over a large range of collision energy, s NN, was recently measured and successfully reproduced by hydrodynamic and transport models with intense fluid vorticity of the quark-gluon plasma. While naïve extrapolation of data trends suggests a large PH as the collision energy is reduced, the behavior of PH at small s NN< 7.7 GeV is unknown. Operating the STAR experiment in fixed-target mode, we measured the polarization of Λ hyperons along the direction of global angular momentum in Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 3 GeV. The observation of substantial polarization of 4.91±0.81 (stat.)±0.15 (syst.)% in these collisions may require a reexamination of the viscosity of any fluid created in the collision, of the thermalization timescale of rotational modes, and of hadronic mechanisms to produce global polarization.

The effects of neutron skin on the multiplicity (N ch) and eccentricity (ϵ 2) in relativistic 44 96 Ru+ 44 96 Ru and 40 96 Zr+ 40 96 Zr collisions at s NN= 200 GeV are investigated with the Trento model. It is found that the Ru+ Ru/Zr+ Zr ratios of the N ch distributions and ϵ 2 in mid-central collisions are exquisitely sensitive to the neutron skin type (skin vs. halo). The state-of-the-art calculations by energy density functional theory (DFT) favor the halo-type neutron skin and can soon be confronted by experimental data. It is demonstrated that the halo-type density can serve as a good surrogate for the DFT density, and thus can be efficiently employed to probe nuclear deformities by using elliptic flow data in central collisions. We provide hereby a proof-of-principle venue to simultaneously determine the neutron skin type, thickness, and nuclear deformity.

In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, a global spin polarization, P H, of Λ and Λhyperons along the direction of the system angular momentum was discovered and measured across a broad range of collision energies and demonstrated a trend of increasing P H with decreasing s N N. A splitting between Λ and Λpolarization may be possible due to their different magnetic moments in a late-stage magnetic field sustained by the quark-gluon plasma which is formed in the collision. The results presented in this study find no significant splitting at the collision energies of s N N= 19.6 and 27 GeV in the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions Beam Energy Scan Phase II using the STAR detector, with an upper limit of P Λ− P Λ< 0.24% and P Λ− P Λ< 0.35%, respectively, at a 95% confidence level. We derive an upper limit on the naive extraction of the late-stage magnetic field of B< 9.4× 10 12 T and B< 1.4× 10 13 T at s N N= 19 …

Measurements of the second Fourier harmonic coefficient (v 2) of the azimuthal distributions of prompt and nonprompt D 0 mesons produced in p p and p Pb collisions are presented. Nonprompt D 0 mesons come from beauty hadron decays. The data samples are collected by the CMS experiment at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies of 13 and 8.16 TeV, respectively. In high multiplicity p p collisions, v 2 signals for prompt charm hadrons are reported for the first time, and are found to be comparable to those for light-flavor hadron species over a transverse momentum (p T) range of 2–6 GeV. Compared at similar event multiplicities, the prompt D 0 meson v 2 values in p p and p Pb collisions are similar in magnitude. The v 2 values for open beauty hadrons are extracted for the first time via nonprompt D 0 mesons in p Pb collisions. For p T in the range of 2–5 GeV, the results suggest that v 2 for nonprompt D 0 …

The STAR collaboration reports a measurement of the transverse single-spin asymmetries, A N, for neutral pions produced in polarized proton collisions with protons (p p), with aluminum nuclei (p Al) and with gold nuclei (p Au) at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV. Neutral pions are observed in the forward direction relative to the transversely polarized proton beam, in the pseudorapidity region 2.7< η< 3.8. Results are presented for π 0 s observed in the STAR forward meson spectrometer electromagnetic calorimeter in narrow Feynman x (x F) and transverse momentum (p T) bins, spanning the range 0.17< x F< 0.81 and 1.7< p T< 6.0 GeV/c. For fixed x F< 0.47, the asymmetries are found to rise with increasing transverse momentum. For larger x F, the asymmetry flattens or falls as p T increases.

According to first-principle lattice QCD calculations, the transition from quark-gluon plasma to hadronic matter is a smooth crossover in the region μ B≤ T c. In this range the ratio, C 6/C 2, of net-baryon distributions are predicted to be negative. In this Letter, we report the first measurement of the midrapidity net-proton C 6/C 2 from 27, 54.4, and 200 GeV Au+ Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The dependence on collision centrality and kinematic acceptance in (p T, y) are analyzed. While for 27 and 54.4 GeV collisions the C 6/C 2 values are close to zero within uncertainties, it is observed that for 200 GeV collisions, the C 6/C 2 ratio becomes progressively negative from peripheral to central collisions. Transport model calculations without critical dynamics predict mostly positive values except for the most central collisions within uncertainties. These observations seem to favor a smooth …

We report a systematic measurement of cumulants, C n, for net-proton, proton, and antiproton multiplicity distributions, and correlation functions, κ n, for proton and antiproton multiplicity distributions up to the fourth order in Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 54.4, 62.4, and 200 GeV. The C n and κ n are presented as a function of collision energy, centrality and kinematic acceptance in rapidity, y, and transverse momentum, p T. The data were taken during the first phase of the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program (2010–2017) at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) facility. The measurements are carried out at midrapidity (| y|< 0.5) and transverse momentum 0.4< p T< 2.0 GeV/c, using the STAR detector at RHIC. We observe a nonmonotonic energy dependence (s N N= 7.7–62.4 GeV) of the net-proton C 4/C 2 with the significance of 3.1 σ for the 0–5% central Au+ Au collisions. This is …

Dihadron azimuthal correlations containing a high transverse momentum () trigger particle are sensitive to the properties of the nuclear medium created at RHIC through the strong interactions occurring between the traversing parton and the medium, ie jet-quenching. Previous measurements revealed a strong modification to dihadron azimuthal correlations in Au+ Au collisions with respect to p+p and d+ Au collisions. The modification increases with the collision centrality, suggesting a path-length or energy density dependence to the jet-quenching effect. This paper reports STAR measurements of dihadron azimuthal correlations in mid-central (20%-60%) Au+ Au collisions at GeV as a function of the trigger particle's azimuthal angle relative to the event plane, . The azimuthal correlation is studied as a function of both the trigger and associated particle . The subtractions of the combinatorial background and anisotropic flow …

We present the first inclusive measurements of the invariant and softdrop jet mass in proton-proton collisions at s= 200 GeV at STAR. The measurements are fully corrected for detector effects, and reported differentially in both the jet transverse momentum and jet radius parameter. We compare the measurements to established leading-order Monte Carlo event generators and find that STAR-tuned pythia-6 reproduces the data, while LHC tunes of pythia-8 and herwig-7 do not agree with the data, providing further constraints on parameter tuning. Finally, we observe that softdrop grooming, for which the contribution of wide-angle nonperturbative radiation is suppressed, shifts the jet mass distributions into closer agreement with the partonic jet mass as determined by both pythia-8 and a next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy perturbative QCD calculation. These measurements complement recent LHC measurements in …

Event-by-event long-range correlations of azimuthal anisotropy Fourier coefficients (v n) in 8.16 TeV p Pb data, collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, are extracted using a subevent four-particle cumulant technique applied to very low multiplicity events. Each combination of four charged particles is selected from either two, three, or four distinct subevent regions of a pseudorapidity range from− 2.4 to 2.4 of the CMS tracker, and with transverse momentum between 0.3 and 3.0 GeV. Using the subevent cumulant technique, correlations between v n of different orders are measured as functions of particle multiplicity and compared to the standard cumulant method without subevents over a wide event multiplicity range. At high multiplicities, the v 2 and v 3 coefficients exhibit an anticorrelation; this behavior is observed consistently using various methods. The v 2 and v 4 correlation strength …

The Breit-Wheeler process which produces matter and antimatter from photon collisions is experimentally investigated through the observation of 6085 exclusive electron-positron pairs in ultraperipheral Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 200 GeV. The measurements reveal a large fourth-order angular modulation of cos 4 Δ ϕ=(16.8±2.5)% and smooth invariant mass distribution absent of vector mesons (ϕ, ω, and ρ) at the experimental limit of≤ 0.2% of the observed yields. The differential cross section as a function of e+ e− pair transverse momentum P⊥ peaks at low value with⟨ P⊥ 2⟩= 38.1±0.9 MeV and displays a significant centrality dependence. These features are consistent with QED calculations for the collision of linearly polarized photons quantized from the extremely strong electromagnetic fields generated by the highly charged Au nuclei at ultrarelativistic speed. The experimental results have implications for …

Background: The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is extensively studied in heavy-ion collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). An azimuthal correlator called R Ψ m was proposed to measure the CME. By observing the same R Ψ 2 and R Ψ 3 (convex) distributions from A Multi-Phase Transport (ampt) model, by contrasting data and model as well as large and small systems and by event shape engineering (ESE), a recent preprint (arXiv: 2006.04251 v1) from STAR suggests that the R Ψ m observable is sensitive to the CME signal and relatively insensitive to backgrounds, and their Au+ Au data are inconsistent with known background contributions.Purpose: We examine those claims by studying the robustness of the R Ψ m observable using ampt as well as toy model simulations. We compare R Ψ m to the more widely used Δ γ azimuthal correlator to identify their …

An observable sensitive to the chiral magnetic wave (CMW) is the charge asymmetry dependence of the π− and π+ anisotropic flow difference, Δνn(Ach). We show that, due to non-flow correlations, the flow measurements by the Q-cumulant method using all charged particles as reference introduce a trivial linear term to Δνn(Ach). The trivial slope contribution to the triangle flow difference Δν3(Ach) can be negative if the non-flow is dominated by back-to-back pairs. This can explain the observed negative Δν3(Ach) slope in the preliminary STAR data. We further find that the non-flow correlations give rise to additional backgrounds to the slope of Δν2(Ach) from the competition among different pion sources and from the larger multiplicity dilution to π+ (π−) at positive (negative) Ach.

Abstract Isobaric 44 96 Ru+ 44 96 Ru and 40 96 Zr+ 40 96 Zr collisions at Image 1 GeV have been conducted at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider to circumvent the large flow-induced background in searching for the chiral magnetic effect (cme), predicted by the topological feature of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Considering that the background in isobar collisions is approximately twice that in Au+ Au collisions (due to the smaller multiplicity) and the cme signal is approximately half (due to the weaker magnetic field), we caution that the cme may not be detectable with the collected isobar data statistics, within∼ 2σ significance, if the axial charge per entropy density (n 5/s) and the QCD vacuum transition probability are system independent. This expectation is generally verified by the Anomalous-Viscous Fluid Dynamics (avfd) model. While our estimate provides an approximate “experimental” baseline …

Flow harmonics (v n) of the Fourier expansion for the azimuthal distributions of hadrons are commonly employed to quantify the azimuthal anisotropy of particle production relative to the collision symmetry planes. While lower order Fourier coefficients (v 2 and v 3) are more directly related to the corresponding eccentricities of the initial state, the higher-order flow harmonics (v n> 3) can be induced by a mode-coupled response to the lower-order anisotropies, in addition to a linear response to the same-order anisotropies. These higher-order flow harmonics and their linear and mode-coupled contributions can be used to more precisely constrain the initial conditions and the transport properties of the medium in theoretical models. The multiparticle azimuthal cumulant method is used to measure the linear and mode-coupled contributions in the higher-order anisotropic flow, the mode-coupled response coefficients …

Exclusivity of the event is guaranteed by requiring the transverse momentum balance of all four final-state particles. Differential cross sections are measured as functions of observables related to the central hadronic final state and to the forward-scattered protons. They are measured in a fiducial region corresponding to the acceptance of the STAR detector and determined by the central particles’ transverse momenta and pseudorapidities as well as by the …

We report systematic measurements of bulk properties of the system created in Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 14.5 GeV recorded by the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The transverse momentum spectra of π±, K±, and p (p) are studied at midrapidity (| y|< 0.1) for nine centrality intervals. The centrality, transverse momentum (p T), and pseudorapidity (η) dependence of inclusive charged particle elliptic flow (v 2), and rapidity-odd charged particles directed flow (v 1) results near midrapidity are also presented. These measurements are compared with the published results from Au+ Au collisions at other energies, and from Pb+ Pb collisions at s N N= 2.76 TeV. The results at s N N= 14.5 GeV show similar behavior as established at other energies and fit well in the energy dependence trend. These results are important as the 14.5-GeV energy fills the gap in μ B, which is of the order of 100 MeV …

Within the ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics model, in which the Lorentz covariant treatment of nuclear mean-field potential is considered, the fluctuations of net-baryon, net-charge, and deuteron multiplicity distributions in Au+ Au head-on collisions at s N N= 3.0–5.0 GeV are calculated. The results show that the nuclear mean-field potential can significantly enhance the magnitude of baryon number fluctuations in narrow rapidity windows, and this enhancement rapidly weakens with increasing beam energy. However, for proton and net-charge number fluctuations, the mean-field effects are less noticeable than that for baryon number. In addition, for net-charge number fluctuations, the negative binomial distribution agrees well with the calculated results at the midpseudorapidity window. Finally, the event-by-event fluctuations of deuteron number in the coalescence production picture are calculated as well …

New sets of CMS underlying-event parameters (“tunes”) are presented for the pythia8 event generator. These tunes use the NNPDF3. 1 parton distribution functions (PDFs) at leading (LO), next-to-leading (NLO), or nextto-next-to-leading (NNLO) orders in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, and the strong coupling evolution at LO or NLO. Measurements of charged-particle multiplicity and transverse momentum densities at various hadron collision energies are fit simultaneously to determine the parameters of the tunes. Comparisons of the predictions of the new tunes are provided for observables sensitive to the event shapes at LEP, global underlying event, soft multiparton interactions, and double-parton scattering contributions. In addition, comparisons are made for observables measured in various specific processes, such as multijet, Drell–Yan, and top quarkantiquark pair production including jet …

In this letter, measurements of the shared momentum fraction (z g) and the groomed jet radius (R g), as defined in the SoftDrop algorithm, are reported in p+ p collisions at s= 200 GeV collected by the STAR experiment. These substructure observables are differentially measured for jets of varying resolution parameters from R= 0.2− 0.6 in the transverse momentum range 15< p T, jet< 60 GeV/c. These studies show that, in the p T, jet range accessible at s= 200 GeV and with increasing jet resolution parameter and jet transverse momentum, the z g distribution asymptotically converges to the DGLAP splitting kernel for a quark radiating a gluon. The groomed jet radius measurements reflect a momentum-dependent narrowing of the jet structure for jets of a given resolution parameter, ie, the larger the p T, jet, the narrower the first splitting. For the first time, these fully corrected measurements are compared to Monte Carlo …

Measurements of inclusive charged-particle jet production in pp and p-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon collision TeV and the corresponding nuclear modification factor are presented, using data collected with the ALICE detector at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed in the central rapidity region from charged particles using the anti- algorithm with resolution parameters , 0.3, and 0.4. The -differential inclusive production cross section of charged-particle jets, as well as the corresponding cross-section ratios, are reported for pp and p-Pb collisions in the transverse momentum range GeV/ and GeV/, respectively, together with the nuclear modification factor in the range GeV/. The analysis extends the range of the previously-reported charged-particle jet measurements by the ALICE Collaboration. The nuclear modification factor is found to be consistent with one and independent of the jet resolution parameter with the improved precision of this study, indicating that the possible influence of cold nuclear matter effects on the production cross section of charged-particle jets in p-Pb collisions at TeV is smaller than the current precision. The obtained results are in agreement with other minimum bias jet measurements available for RHIC and LHC energies, and are well reproduced by the NLO perturbative QCD POWHEG calculations with parton shower provided by PYTHIA8 as well as by JETSCAPE simulations.

Antibaryon-to-baryon ratios (Λ/Λ, Ξ+/Ξ−, Ω+/Ω−) are presented as well and used to test a thermal statistical model and to extract the temperature normalized strangeness and baryon chemical potentials at hadronic freeze-out (μ B/T ch and μ S/T ch) in central collisions. Strange baryon-to-pion ratios are compared to various model predictions in central collisions for all energies.

The two-particle angular correlation functions, R 2, of pions, kaons, and protons in Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4, and 200 GeV were measured by the STAR experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These correlations were measured for both like-sign and unlike-sign charge combinations and versus the centrality. The correlations of pions and kaons show the expected near-side (ie, at small relative angles) peak resulting from short-range mechanisms. The amplitudes of these short-range correlations decrease with increasing beam energy. However, the proton correlation functions exhibit strong anticorrelations in the near-side region. This behavior is observed for the first time in an A+ A collision system. The observed anticorrelation is p T independent and decreases with increasing beam energy and centrality. The experimental results are also compared to the Monte …

The experimentally measured charge-dependent correlations in heavy-ion collisions have been suggested as a signature of the chiral magnetic effect (CME). Early model studies could not reproduce the measurement. For example, the hijing model yielded far smaller magnitude for the charge-dependent correlation than observed in data. This led to the conclusion that the CME had to be invoked to explain the observed correlations in heavy-ion collisions. In this paper we show that this conclusion of the CME interpretation is premature. We show that the reason that hijing predicts a far smaller correlation than data is because the elliptic anisotropy (v 2) parameter in hijing is too small. When properly scaled, the hijing model can reproduce in entirety the measured correlations. We also employ the AMPT model, which has a large enough v 2, to demonstrate that the measured data can be easily accommodated by …

Particle production in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions depends on the details of the nucleon density distributions in the colliding nuclei. We demonstrate that the charged hadron multiplicity distributions in isobaric collisions at ultrarelativistic energies provide a novel approach to determine the poorly known neutron density distributions and thus the neutron skin thickness in finite nuclei, which can in turn put stringent constraints on the nuclear symmetry energy.

Background: The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is extensively studied in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. In the commonly used reaction-plane (RP)-dependent, charge-dependent azimuthal correlator (Δ γ), both the close and back-to-back pairs are included. Many backgrounds contribute to the close pairs (eg, resonance decays, jet correlations), whereas the back-to-back pairs are relatively free of those backgrounds.Purpose: In order to reduce those backgrounds, we propose a new observable, which only focuses on the back-to-back pairs, namely, the relative back-to-back opposite-sign over same-sign pair excess (r B B) as a function of the pair azimuthal orientation with respect to the RP (φ B B).Methods: We use analytical calculations and toy model simulations to demonstrate the sensitivity of r B B (φ B B) to the CME and its insensitivity to backgrounds.Results: With finite CME, the φ B B distribution of r B B …

The second-order Fourier coefficients () characterizing the azimuthal distribution of (1S) and (2S) mesons arising from PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV are studied. The mesons are reconstructed in their dimuon decay channel, as measured by the CMS detector. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 nb. The scalar product method is used to extract the coefficients of the azimuthal distribution. Results are reported for the rapidity range 2.4, with the transverse momentum 0 50 GeV/, and in three centrality ranges of 10-30%, 30-50% and 50-90%. In contrast to the J/ mesons, the measured values for the mesons are found to be consistent with zero.

Particle production sensitive to nonfactorizable and nonperturbative processes that contribute to the underlying event associated with a high transverse momentum (p T) jet in proton+ proton collisions at s= 200 GeV is studied with the STAR detector. Each event is divided into three regions based on the azimuthal angle with respect to the highest-p T jet direction: in the leading jet direction (“Toward”), opposite to the leading jet (“Away”), and perpendicular to the leading jet (“Transverse”). In the Transverse region, the average charged particle density is found to be between 0.4 and 0.6 and the mean transverse momentum,⟨ p T⟩, between 0.5 and 0.7 GeV/c for particles with p T> 0.2 GeV/c at mid-pseudorapidity (| η|< 1) and jet p T> 15 GeV/c. Both average particle density and⟨ p T⟩ depend weakly on the leading jet p T. Closer inspection of the Transverse region hints that contributions to the underlying event from …

We report on new measurements of inclusive J/ψ polarization at midrapidity in p+ p collisions at s= 200 GeV by the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The polarization parameters, λ θ, λ ϕ, and λ θ ϕ, are measured as a function of transverse momentum (p T) in both the helicity and Collins-Soper (CS) reference frames within p T< 10 GeV/c. Except for λ θ in the CS frame at the highest measured p T, all three polarization parameters are consistent with 0 in both reference frames without any strong p T dependence. Several model calculations are compared with data, and the one using the Color Glass Condensate effective field theory coupled with nonrelativistic QCD gives the best overall description of the experimental results, even though other models cannot be ruled out due to experimental uncertainties.

The measurements of particle multiplicity distributions have generated considerable interest in understanding the fluctuations of conserved quantum numbers in the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) hadronization regime, in particular near a possible critical point and near the chemical freeze-out. Net-protons and net-kaons have been used as proxies for the net-baryon number and net-strangeness, respectively. We report the measurement of efficiency-and centrality-bin width-corrected cumulant ratios (C 2/C 1, C 3/C 2) of net-Λ distributions, in the context of both strangeness and baryon number conservation, as a function of collision energy, centrality, and rapidity. The results are for Au+ Au collisions at five beam energies (s N N= 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4, and 200 GeV) recorded with the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR). We compare our results to the Poisson and negative binomial (NBD) expectations, as well as to …

We report on the first measurement of the charmed baryon Λ c±production at midrapidity (| y|< 1) in Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 200 GeV collected by the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The Λ c/D 0 [denoting (Λ c++ Λ c−)/(D 0+ D 0)] yield ratio is measured to be 1.08±0.16 (stat)±0.26 (sys) in the 0%–20% most central Au+ Au collisions for the transverse momentum (p T) range 3< p T< 6 GeV/c. This is significantly larger than the pythia model calculations for p+ p collisions. The measured Λ c/D 0 ratio, as a function of p T and collision centrality, is comparable to the baryon-to-meson ratios for light and strange hadrons in Au+ Au collisions. Model calculations including coalescence hadronization for charmed baryon and meson formation reproduce the features of our measured Λ c/D 0 ratio.

According to the CPT theorem, which states that the combined operation of charge conjugation, parity transformation and time reversal must be conserved, particles and their antiparticles should have the same mass and lifetime but opposite charge and magnetic moment. Here, we test CPT symmetry in a nucleus containing a strange quark, more specifically in the hypertriton. This hypernucleus is the lightest one yet discovered and consists of a proton, a neutron and a Λ hyperon. With data recorded by the STAR detector, – at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, we measure the Λ hyperon binding energy BΛ for the hypertriton, and find that it differs from the widely used value and from predictions, , –, where the hypertriton is treated as a weakly bound system. Our results place stringent constraints on the hyperon–nucleon interaction, and have implications for understanding neutron star interiors, where strange matter …

The charge asymmetry (A ch) dependence of the π− and π+ elliptic flow difference, Δ v 2 (A ch), has been regarded as a sensitive observable for the possible chiral magnetic wave (CMW) in relativistic heavy ion collisions. In this work, we first demonstrate that, due to nonflow backgrounds, the flow measurements by the Q-cumulant method using all charged particles as reference introduce a trivial linear term to Δ v 2 (A ch). The trivial contribution to the slope of triangle flow difference Δ v 3 (A ch) can be negative if the nonflow is dominated by back-to-back pairs. After eliminating the trivial term, we find that the nonflow between like-sign pairs gives rise to an additional positive slope to Δ v 2 (A ch) because of the larger multiplicity dilution to π+(π−) at positive (negative) A ch. We further find that the competition between different π sources can introduce another nontrivial linear-A ch term due to their different multiplicity …

We present a measurement of the first-order azimuthal anisotropy v 1 of deuterons from Au+ Au collisions at s N N= 7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, and 39 GeV recorded with the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The energy dependence of the v 1 (y) slope, d v 1/d y| y= 0, for deuterons, where y is the rapidity, is extracted for semicentral collisions (10%–40% centrality) and compared with that of protons. While the v 1 (y) slopes of protons are generally negative for s N N> 10 GeV, those for deuterons are consistent with zero, a strong enhancement of the v 1 (y) slope of deuterons is seen at the lowest collision energy (the largest baryon density) at s N N= 7.7 GeV. In addition, we report the transverse momentum dependence of v 1 for protons and deuterons. The experimental results are compared with transport and coalescence models.

Open heavy-flavor hadrons provide unique probes of the medium produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Due to their increased mass relative to light-flavor hadrons, long lifetime, and early production in hard-scattering interactions, they provide access to the full evolution of the partonic medium formed in heavy-ion collisions. This paper reports two-dimensional (2D) angular correlations between neutral D mesons and unidentified charged particles produced in minimum-bias Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 200 GeV. D 0 and D 0 mesons are reconstructed via their weak decay to K∓ π±using the Heavy Flavor Tracker in the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC experiment. Correlations on relative pseudorapidity and azimuth (Δ η, Δ ϕ) are presented for peripheral, midcentral, and central collisions with D 0 transverse momentum from 2–10 GeV/c. Attention is focused on the 2D peaked correlation structure near the …

The transverse momentum (p T) spectra of inclusively produced Λ c+ baryons are measured via the exclusive decay channel Λ c+→ p K− π+ using the CMS detector at the LHC. Spectra are measured as a function of transverse momentum in proton-proton (p p) and lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The measurement is performed within the Λ c+ rapidity interval| y|< 1 in the p T range of 5–20 GeV/c in p p and 10–20 GeV/c in PbPb collisions. The observed yields of Λ c+ for p T of 10–20 GeV/c suggest a suppression in central PbPb collisions compared to p p collisions scaled by the number of nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions. The Λ c+/D 0 production ratio in p p collisions is compared to theoretical models. In PbPb collisions, this ratio is consistent with the result from p p collisions in their common p T range.

We use a simple coalescence model to generate f 0 (980) particles for three configurations: a s s meson, a u u s s tetraquark, and a K+ K− molecule. The phase-space information of the coalescing constituents is taken from a multiphase transport (AMPT) simulation of heavy-ion collisions. It is shown that the number of constituent quarks scaling of the elliptic flow anisotropy can be used to discern s s from u u s s and K+ K− configurations.

The second-and third-order azimuthal anisotropy Fourier harmonics of charged particles produced in pPb collisions, at s N N= 8.16 TeV, are studied over a wide range of event multiplicities. Multiparticle correlations are used to isolate global properties stemming from the collision overlap geometry. The second-order “elliptic” harmonic moment is obtained with high precision through four-, six-, and eight-particle correlations and, for the first time, the third-order “triangular” harmonic moment is studied using four-particle correlations. A sample of peripheral PbPb collisions at s N N= 5.02 TeV that covers a similar range of event multiplicities as the pPb results is also analyzed. Model calculations of initial-state fluctuations in pPb and PbPb collisions can be directly compared to the high-precision experimental results. This work provides new insight into the fluctuation-driven origin of the v 3 coefficients in pPb and PbPb …
