Non-photonic electron-hadron correlations at STAR
نویسنده
چکیده
We present STAR’s measurements of azimuthal correlations between nonphotonic electrons and charged hadrons in p+p, Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. In p+p collisions, from the non-photonic e-h correlation we have extracted the relative B meson semi-leptonic decay contributions to non-photonic electrons up to electron pt ∼ 9 GeV/c. In central Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions where a dense medium is created, we find that the e-h correlation on the away side of the trigger non-photonic electron has been modified in comparison with the expectation from PYTHIA simulations.

Measurement of Non-photonic Electron Angular Correlations with Charged Hadrons
Correlations of non-photonic electrons with charged hadrons are studied using the PYTHIA Monte Carlo event generator in p+p collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. We propose experimental methods to estimate the relative contributions to non-photonic electrons from charm and bottom decays. We present the measurement of azimuthal correlations between non-photonic electrons and charged hadrons in p+p coll...

We present the preliminary measurement of azimuthal correlations between nonphotonic electrons and charged hadrons in p+p collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV from STAR. The results are compared to PYTHIA simulations to estimate the relative contributions of D and B meson semi-leptonic decays to the non-photonic electrons.

متن کاملSTAR Results on High Transverse Momentum, Heavy Flavor and Electromagnetic Probes
We summarize here recent results from the STAR collaboration focusing on processes involving large momentum transfers. Measurements of angular correlations of di-hadrons are explored in both the pseudorapidity (η) and azimuthal (φ) projections. In central Au+Au, an elongated structure is found in the η projection which persists up to the highest measured p⊥. After quantifying the particle yield...
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Production in Star
In this contribution, the STAR collaboration at RHIC reports on measurements related to heavy flavor production. We present results from D meson production, and from indirect reconstruction of heavy flavor via semi-leptonic decays, including low transverse momentum muons and the inclusive yield of non-photonic electrons. We focus on the non-photonic electrons, and present results over a broad r...
