Beam-Energy Dependence Of The Directed Flow Of Protons, Antiprotons, And Pions In Au+Au Collisions, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, I. Koralt, Star Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

Rapidity-odd directed flow (v1) measurements for charged pions, protons, and antiprotons near midrapidity (y= 0) are reported in √ˢᴺᴺ = 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4, and 200 GeVAu+Au collisions as recorded by the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. At intermediate impact parameters, the proton and net-proton slope parameter d v1/ d yy=0 shows a minimum between 11.5 and 19.6 GeV. In addition, the net-proton d v1/ d yy=0 changes sign twice between 7.7 and 39 GeV. The proton and net-proton results qualitatively resemble predictions …


Jet-Hadron Correlations In √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 Gev P + P And Central Au + Au Collisions, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, S. Bültmann, I. Koralt, Star Collaboration Jan 2014

Jet-Hadron Correlations In √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 Gev P + P And Central Au + Au Collisions, L. Adamczyk, J. K. Adkins, G. Agakishiev, S. Bültmann, I. Koralt, Star Collaboration

Physics Faculty Publications

Azimuthal angular correlations of charged hadrons with respect to the axis of a reconstructed (trigger) jet in Au + Au and p + p collisions √ˢᴺᴺ = 200 GeV in STAR are presented. The trigger jet population in Au + Au collisions is biased toward jets that have not interacted with the medium, allowing easier matching of jet energies between Au + Au and p + p collisions while enhancing medium effects on the recoil jet. The associated hadron yield of the recoil jet is significantly suppressed at high transverse momentum (passoc/T) and enhanced at low passoc/T …
