Particle Physics Seminar

"Azimuthal Correlations as a Tool for Testing of Fundamental Symmetries and Searching for Novel Phenomena in Heavy Ion Collisions"

Presented by Ilya Selyuzhenkov, Wayne State University

Thursday, March 1, 2007, 3:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

The system created in non-central relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions possesses large orbital angular momentum.
Some of the most interesting and important phenomena predicted to occur in such a system are the strong parity violation and the global system polarization. Analysis of two and three particle azimuthal correlations is the unique tool for experimental study of such phenomena in heavy ion collision. We present the preliminary results on the parity violation and global polarization measurements in Au+Au collisions at 62 and 200 GeV center of mass energies
obtained with the STAR detector at RHIC.
