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 Jan 2014

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 …


Exclusive Πᵒ Electroproduction At W > 2 Gev With Clas, I. Bedlinskiy, K. P. Adhikari, L. El Fassi, A. Klein, S. E. Kuhn, Clas Collaboration Jan 2014

Exclusive Πᵒ Electroproduction At W > 2 Gev With Clas, I. Bedlinskiy, K. P. Adhikari, L. El Fassi, A. Klein, S. E. Kuhn, Clas Collaboration

Exclusive neutral-pion electroproduction (ep → e'p'π0 was measured at Jefferson Lab with a 5.75-GeV electron beam and the CLAS detector. Differential cross sections d4σ/dtdQ2dxBπ and structure functions σT+ ϵσL, σTT, and σLT as functions of t were obtained over a wide range of Q2 and xB. The data are compared with Regge and handbag theoretical calculations. Analyses in both frameworks find that a large dominance of transverse processes is necessary to explain the experimental results. For the Regge analysis it is found …


J/Ψ Production At Low Pᵀ In Au + Au And Cu + Cu Collisions At √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 Gev With The Star Detector, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, S. Bültmann, I. Koralt, Star Collaboration Jan 2014

J/Ψ Production At Low Pᵀ In Au + Au And Cu + Cu Collisions At √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 Gev With The Star Detector, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, S. Bültmann, I. Koralt, Star Collaboration

The J/ψ pT spectrum and nuclear modification factor (RAA) are reported for pT < 5 GeV/c and |y| < 1 from 0% to 60% central Au + Au and Cu + Cu collisions at √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 GeV at STAR. A significant suppression of pT - integrated J/ψ production is observed in central Au + Au events. The Cu + Cu data are consistent with no suppression, although the precision is limited by the available statistics. RAA in Au + Au collisions exhibits a strong suppression at low transverse momentum and gradually increases with pT. The data are compared to high-pT STAR results and previously published BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider results. Comparing with model calculations, it is found that the invariant yields …
