Cu+Cu Collisions at STAR
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the mid-rapidity (D +D)/2 yield measured in √ sNN = 200 GeV Cu+Cu collisions at RHIC via direct reconstruction through the Kπ decay channel. A charm cross-section is reported and compared to theoretical predictions and to previous RHIC experimental results.

Non-photonic electron-hadron correlations at STAR
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 dens...
متن کاملEnergy and System Size Dependence of Photon Production at Forward Rapidities at Rhic
The energy and system size dependence of pseudorapidity (η) and multiplicity distributions of photons are measured in the region −2.3 ≤ η ≤ −3.7 for Cu + Cu collisions at √ sNN = 200 and 62.4 GeV. Photon multiplicity measurements at forward rapidity have been carried out using a Photon Multiplicity Detector (PMD) in the STAR experiment. Photons are found to follow longitudinal scaling for Cu + ...
متن کاملParticle Production at RHIC
Identified hadron spectra and ratios provide a unique tool to study the bulk particle production in heavy-ion collisions and explore the QCD phase diagram. In these proceedings we present the analysis of charged pion, kaon and (anti)proton distributions from √ s NN = 200 and 62.4 GeV Cu+Cu collisions, collected by the STAR experiment. New measurements extend the systematic studies of bulk prope...
متن کاملSome Striking New STAR Results
Recent high-statistics Au+Au and Cu+Cu runs at RHIC have provided a wealth of new data that allow STAR to answer several outstanding questions regarding the nature of the hot, dense medium that is created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. However, the new data also raise new questions that require further study. Here, we focus on a few qualitatively new results presented by STAR for th...
متن کامل8 Energy and system size dependence of φ meson production in Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions
We study the beam-energy and system-size dependence of φ meson production (using the hadronic decay mode φ → K+K−) by comparing the new results from Cu+Cu collisions and previously reported Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 62.4 and 200 GeV measured in the STAR experiment at RHIC. Data presented are from midrapidity (|y| <0.5) for 0.4 < pT < 5 GeV/c. At a given beam energy, the transverse momentum di...
