Azimuthal Anisotropy of Charged and Identified High pT Hadrons in Au+Au Collisions at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
We report new results on v2(pT ) for Au+Au collisions at √ sNN=200 GeV for charged hadrons, pions, kaons, (anti)protons, K s , and Λ. The analysis is extended to pT = 12 GeV/c for charged hadrons and pT = 4 GeV/c for identified particles. A comparison of the azimuthal anisotropy of charged hadrons measured at √ sNN=130 and 200 GeV is presented. The pT -dependence of baryon versus meson elliptic flow is discussed.

Two-particle Azimuthal Correlations of High-pT Charged Hadrons at the CERN SPS
Two-particle azimuthal correlations of high-pT hadrons can serve as a probe of interactions of partons with the dense medium produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. First NA49 results on such correlations are presented for central and mid-central Pb+Pb collisions at 158A GeV beam energy, for different centrality bins and charge combinations of trigger and associate particles. These result...
متن کاملQuantifying Properties of the QCD Matter at RHIC
We will review recent results on quantitative description of global properties of bulk partonic matter at RHIC. These results include strangeness phase space factor of the partonic matter, azimuthal angular anisotropy v2, and transverse momentum pT distributions of effective partons at the hadronization of bulk partonic matter. We present empirical constraints on parton energy loss in the high ...
متن کاملAzimuthal Anisotropy of Identified Hadrons in 200 GeVAu + Au Collisions
The azimuthal anisotropy parameter v 2 has been measured with high statistics for identified hadrons in √ s N N = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions with the STAR experiment. At high transverse momentum (p T) a strong v 2 for π + + π − and p + p is observed. In the intermediate p T region, number-of-constituent-quark scaling was tested to high precision. A detailed comparison of v 2 for the multi-strange...
متن کاملTwo-particle correlations with strange baryons and mesons at RHIC
We present results on two-particle correlations using singly-strange particles (Λ, Λ̄, K S) and charged hadrons at intermediate pT in d+Au and Au+Au collisions at RHIC. We discuss properties of the near-side correlation peak in both azimuthal and pseudo-rapidity space and separate jet-like contributions from the long-range pseudo-rapidity correlations (the ridge). In particular, we study the cen...
متن کاملScaling properties of azimuthal anisotropy of mesons and baryons at RHIC
Detailed measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy (2̌) for identified charged particles are reported as a function of transverse momentum (pT ) and centrality for Au+Au collisions at √ sNN =200 GeV. The measurements indicate clear evidence for eccentricity and particle flavor scaling over a broad range of centralities and transverse rapidity yT , indicating a hydrodynamical origin of the fine st...
