Pion-Kaon Correlations in CentralAu+AuCollisions atsNN=

Abstract: Pion-kaon correlation functions are constructed from central Au+Au STAR data taken at sqrt[s(NN)]=130 GeV by the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The results suggest that pions and kaons are not emitted at the same average space-time point. Space-momentum correlations, i.e., transverse flow, lead to a space-time emission asymmetry of pions and kaons that is consistent with the data. This result provides new independent evidence that the system created at RHIC undergoes a collective … Show more

“…In the earlier studies of 2PC performed at RHIC for p-p and d-Au collisions, the observed results were very similar [282] and the structures observed for Au-Au collisions were not present. Therefore, these results were commonly taken as reference, where no QGP medium was formed, to compare with Au-Au collisions data.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] In the development, the discovery of new phenomena from experiment such as the shock wave in form of Mach cone has guided researchers to materialize the gluonic-plasma model. [11][12][13] Recent achievements in hydrodynamics description of relativistic heavy-ion collision have inspired more researchers to use relativistic fluid dynamics approach on searching for viscosities of QGP.…”

“…The correlation function C(k * ), where k * is the magnitude of momentum in the pair rest frame, describes the strength of the correlation. A typical two-particle correlation function shows large deviations from unity if there are only Coulomb interactions [9]. For non-identical particles, a particular particle species can be chosen as a leading particle, and two scenarios can be discussed.…”
