Description
In light of the recently realized possibility of hydrodynamic flow in small systems, we will study the charged particle pseudorapidity distribution as a function of collision centrality in the transition region between very peripheral and semi-central collisions, which still has not been carefully mapped out. Pseudorapidity distributions of charged particle production are important when characterizing the collision dynamics of relativistic heavy ions. We will compare systems with different collision geometry including Cu+Au, Au+Au, and U+U at top RHIC energy. The PHENIX silicon vertex detector will be used to make these measurements in the pseudorapidity interval of |$\eta$| < 2.
