Multiparticle Correlations In Pb--Pb Collisions At \Snn=2.76 Tev, Jocelyn Mlynarz

Wayne State University Dissertations

Quantum Chromodynamics, which describe the interactions of quarks and gluons, have been found not to violate global parity symmetry. However, the possibility

of local parity violations due to transitions in the vacuum state of QCD is not excluded. The effects of these parity violations could be measured in the

hot and dense medium created in the ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions experiment conducted at the Large Hadron Collider, called a Quark-Gluon Plasma, in which

the quarks that compose most of ordinary matter are deconfined. In the strong magnetic fields which permeate the QGP in non-central collisions, parity violation

would express itself …
