Event-by-event fluctuations of the multiplicities of inclusive charged particles and photons at forward rapidity in Au + Au collisions at √s(NN) = 200 GeV have been studied. The dominant contribution to such fluctuations is expected to come from correlated production of charged and neutral pions. We search for evidence of dynamical fluctuations of different physical origins. Observables constructed out of moments of multiplicities are used as measures of fluctuations. Mixed events and model calculations are used as base lines. Results are compared to the dynamical net-charge fluctuations measured in the same acceptance. A nonzero statistically significant signal of dynamical fluctuations …
Dielectron Azimuthal Anisotrophy At Mid-Rapidity In Au+Au Collisions At √ˢᶰᶰ = 200 Gev, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, S. Bültmann, I Koralt, Star Collaboration
Dielectron Azimuthal Anisotrophy At Mid-Rapidity In Au+Au Collisions At √ˢᶰᶰ = 200 Gev, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, S. Bültmann, I Koralt, Star Collaboration

We report on the first measurement of the azimuthal anisotropy v2 of dielectrons (e+e- pairs) at mid-rapidity from √ˢᶰᶰ = 200 GeV Au + Au collisions with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), presented as a function of transverse momentum pT for different invariant-mass regions. In the mass region Mee < 1.1 GeV/c2 the dielectron v2measurements are found to be consistent with expectations from π0, η, ω, and Φ decay contributions. In the mass region 1.1 < Mee < 2.9 GeV/c2, the measured dielectron v2is consistent, within experimental …
Measurement Of Charge Multiplicity Asymmetry Correlations In High-Energy Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions At √ˢᶰᶰ = 200 Gev, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, S. Bültmann, Star Collaboration
Measurement Of Charge Multiplicity Asymmetry Correlations In High-Energy Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions At √ˢᶰᶰ = 200 Gev, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, S. Bültmann, Star Collaboration
Physics Faculty Publications
A study is reported of the same-and opposite-sign charge-dependent azimuthal correlations with respect to the event plane in Au+ Au collisions at √ˢᶰᶰ = 200 GeV. The charge multiplicity asymmetries between the up/down and left/right hemispheres relative to the event plane are utilized. The contributions from statistical fluctuations and detector effects were subtracted from the (co-) variance of the observed charge multiplicity asymmetries. In the mid-to most-central collisions, the same- (opposite-) sign pairs are preferentially emitted in back-to-back (aligned on the same-side) directions. The charge separation across the event plane, measured by the difference, Δ, between the like-and unlike-sign up/down-left/right …
Event Plane Dependent Dihadron Correlations With Harmonic Vⁿ Subtraction In Au + Au Collisions At √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 Gev, H. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, Z. Ahammed, S. Bueltmann, D. Plyku, Star Collaboration
Event Plane Dependent Dihadron Correlations With Harmonic Vⁿ Subtraction In Au + Au Collisions At √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 Gev, H. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, Z. Ahammed, S. Bueltmann, D. Plyku, Star Collaboration
Physics Faculty Publications
STAR measurements of dihadron azimuthal correlations (ΔΦ) are reported in midcentral (20-60%) Au + Au collisions at √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 GeV as a function of the trigger particle's azimuthal angle relative to the event plane, Φs = | Φt- ΨEP|. The elliptic (v2), triangular (v3), and quadratic (v4) flow harmonic backgrounds are subtracted using the zero yield at minimum (ZYAM) method. It is found that a finite near-side (|ΔΦ| < π/2) long-range pseudorapidity correlation (ridge) is present in the in-plane direction (Φs ~ 0). The away-side (|ΔΦ| > π/2) correlation shows a modification from d+ Au data, varying with Φs. …
Directed And Elliptic Flow Of Charged Particles In Cu + Cu Collisions At √ˢᶰᶰ =22.4 Gev, G. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, S. Bueltmann, I. Koralt, X. Zhu, Star Collaboration
Directed And Elliptic Flow Of Charged Particles In Cu + Cu Collisions At √ˢᶰᶰ =22.4 Gev, G. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, S. Bueltmann, I. Koralt, X. Zhu, Star Collaboration

This paper reports results for directed flow v1 and elliptic flow v2 of charged particles in Cu + Cu collisions at √ˢᶰᶰ = 22.4 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The measurements are for the 0-60% most central collisions, using charged particles observed in the STAR detector. Our measurements extend to 22.4-GeV Cu + Cu collisions the prior observation that v1 is independent of the system size at 62.4 and 200 GeV and also extend the scaling of v1 with η/ybeam to this system. The measured v2pT in Cu + Cu …

We report on the mid-rapidity mass spectrum of di-electrons and cross sections of pseudoscalar and vector mesons via e+e- decays, from √s = 200 GeV p + p collisions, measured by the large-acceptance experiment STAR at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The ratio of the di-electron continuum to the combinatorial background is larger than 10% over the entire mass range. Simulations of di-electrons from light-meson decays and heavy-flavor decays (charmonium and open charm correlation) are found to describe the data. The extracted ω → e+e- invariant yields are consistent with previous measurements. The mid-rapidity …
