22. HBT systematics from AGS to LHC

The investigation of momentum correlations of identical bosons yields information about the spatial and temporal evolution of the particle emitting source in heavy ion collisions. A well-established technique to study space-time dimensions in such processes is the Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) interferometry. Particularly interesting are the rapidity dependence of the HBT source parameters and the...

31. Recent femtoscopic results in Au+Au and p+p collisions from PHENIX at RHIC

Recent results for charged kaon and pion femtoscopic analysis in PHENIX will be summarized. Bose-Einstein correlations of charged kaons are used to probe Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s(NN)) = 200 GeV, and compared to charged pion probes which have a larger hadronic scattering cross section. Three dimensional Gaussian source radii were extracted, along with a one-dimensional kaon emission source...

37. Two-pion Source Imaging with the STAR experiment

New Results from SPS and RHIC

Talk

Three-dimensional pion source images have been successfully extracted from relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and CERN recently. The extraction exploits the use of the 3D source imaging technique of Danielewicz, Pratt and Brown. The STAR collaboration has acquired much better statistics data in recent years thus extending the application of imaging techniques to pion correlation...

9. NA49 Results on fluctuations

New Results from SPS and RHIC

Talk

Strong experimental and theoretical efforts are devoted to the study of the QCD phase diagram looking for the phase transition from hadronic to partonic matter. Event-by-event fluctuations of different observables are considered as a signal for the first order phase transition and should shed light on the predicted existence and location of the critical endpoint of the first order transition...

35. Fluctuations and correlations in NA61

New Results from SPS and RHIC

Talk

The NA61 program with respect of fluctuation and correlation studies in nuclear collisions will be presented. The main goal of this program is to search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter via two-dimensional scan in collision energy and system size.

12. Measurement of Azimuthal Anisotropy with the New Reaction Plane Detector in the PHENIX experiment

Talk

Azimuthal anisotropy of particle emission with respect to the reaction plane is one of the most important global observables in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC. The observation of a large anisotropy which follows specific scaling relations over a broad range of particle species is considered as evidence for the probable formation of a hot and dense partonic matter in Au+Au...

Parity-odd domains, corresponding to non-trivial topological solutions of the QCD vacuum, might be created during relativistic heavy ion collisions. These domains are predicted to lead to charge separation of quarks along the system's orbital momentum axis. We investigate a three particle azimuthal correlator which is a P even observable, but directly sensitive to the charge...
