Fluctuation and low transverse momentum correlation results from PHENIX
نویسنده
چکیده
The PHENIX Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has conducted a survey of fluctuations in charged hadron multiplicity in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at √ sNN = 22, 62, and 200 GeV. A universal power law scaling for multiplicity fluctuations expressed as σ2/μ2 is observed as a function of Npart for all species studied that is independent of the transverse momentum range of the measurement. PHENIX has also measured transverse momentum correlation amplitudes in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions. At low transverse momentum, significant differences in the correlations between the baseline p+p and d+Au data and the Au+Au data are presented.

The PHENIX Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has made measurements of event-by-event fluctuations in the charged particle multiplicity as a function of collision energy, centrality, collision species, and transverse momentum in several heavy ion collision systems. It is observed that the fluctuations in terms of σ/μ exhibit a universal power-law scaling as a function of Npartici...
متن کاملA PHENIX perspective on soft observables in Heavy Ion Collisions
We present an overview of measurements from the PHENIX experiment focusing on soft observables in nucleus-nucleus collisions. The excellent particle identification of the PHENIX detector at low and intermediate transverse momentum provide an extensive set of measurements in nucleus-nucleus collisions and baseline measurements in p+p and d+Au collisions. Thermalized particle spectra, strong elli...
متن کاملScaling Properties of Fluctuation and Correlation Results from PHENIX
Recent surveys of multiplicity fluctuations, transverse momentum fluctuations, and two-particle azimuthal correlations are presented for several collision systems as a function of centrality and transverse momentum. Both multiplicity and transverse momentum fluctuations exhibit a power law scaling as a function of the number of participants that is independent of the collision system. Although ...

The PHENIX Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has performed a survey of momentum correlations ranging from 200 MeV/c to 7 GeV/c in √ sNN = 200 GeV p+p, d+Au, Au+Au, and √ sNN = 62 GeV Au+Au collisions. The correlations are measured separately for like-sign and unlike-sign pairs. Comparisons of the properties of the near-side peak amplitude and width as a function of centrality an...
