Bose-Einstein correlations of charged kaons are used to probe Au+Au collisions at sNN=200GeV and are compared to charged pion probes, which have a larger hadronic scattering cross section. Three-dimensional Gaussian source radii are extracted, along with a one-dimensional kaon emission source function. The centrality dependences of the three Gaussian radii are well described by a single linear function of Npart1/3 with a zero intercept. Imaging analysis shows a deviation from a Gaussian tail at r10fm, although the bulk emission at lower radius is well described by a Gaussian. The presence of a non-Gaussian tail in the kaon source reaffirms that the particle emission region in a heavy-ion collision is extended, and that similar measurements with pions are not solely due to the decay of long-lived resonances. © 2009 The American Physical Society.

Measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy of high-pT neutral pion (π0) production in Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV by the PHENIX experiment are presented. The data included in this article were collected during the 2004 Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider running period and represent approximately an order of magnitude increase in the number of analyzed events relative to previously published results. Azimuthal angle distributions of π0 mesons detected in the PHENIX electromagnetic calorimeters are measured relative to the reaction plane determined event-by-event using the forward and backward beam-beam counters. Amplitudes of the second Fourier component (v2) of the angular distributions are presented as a function of π0 transverse momentum (pT) for different bins in collision centrality. Measured reaction plane dependent π0 yields are used to determine the azimuthal dependence of the π0 suppression as a function of pT, RAA(Δ,pT). A jet-quenching motivated geometric analysis is presented that attempts to simultaneously describe the centrality dependence and reaction plane angle dependence of the π0 suppression in terms of the path lengths of hypothetical parent partons in the medium. This set of results allows for a detailed examination of the influence of geometry in the collision region and of the interplay between collective flow and jet-quenching effects along the azimuthal axis. © 2009 The American Physical Society.

We report the observation at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider of suppression of back-to-back correlations in the direct photon+jet channel in Au+Au relative to p+p collisions. Two-particle correlations of direct photon triggers with associated hadrons are obtained by statistical subtraction of the decay photon-hadron (γ-h) background. The initial momentum of the away-side parton is tightly constrained, because the parton-photon pair exactly balance in momentum at leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, making such correlations a powerful probe of the in-medium parton energy loss. The away-side nuclear suppression factor, IAA, in central Au+Au collisions, is 0.32±0.12stat±0.09syst for hadrons of 3

We present the first measurement of photoproduction of J / ψ and of two-photon production of high-mass e+ e- pairs in electromagnetic (or ultra-peripheral) nucleus-nucleus interactions, using Au + Au data at sqrt(sN N) = 200 GeV. The events are tagged with forward neutrons emitted following Coulomb excitation of one or both Au{star operator} nuclei. The event sample consists of 28 events with me+ e- > 2 GeV / c2 with zero like-sign background. The measured cross sections at midrapidity of d σ / d y (J / ψ + X n, y = 0) = 76 ± 33 (stat) ± 11 (syst) μb and d2 σ / d m d y (e+ e- + X n, y = 0) = 86 ± 23 (stat) ± 16 (syst) μb / (GeV / c2) for me+ e- ∈ [2.0, 2.8] GeV / c2 have been compared and found to be consistent with models for photoproduction of J / ψ and QED based calculations of two-photon production of e+ e- pairs. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

We present inclusive charged hadron elliptic flow (v2) measured over the pseudorapidity range |η|<0.35 in Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV. Results for v2 are presented over a broad range of transverse momentum (pT=0.2-8.0 GeV/c) and centrality (0-60%). To study nonflow effects that are correlations other than collective flow, as well as the fluctuations of v2, we compare two different analysis methods: (1) the event-plane method from two independent subdetectors at forward (|η|=3.1-3.9) and beam (|η|>6.5) pseudorapidities and (2) the two-particle cumulant method extracted using correlations between particles detected at midrapidity. The two event-plane results are consistent within systematic uncertainties over the measured pT and in centrality 0-40%. There is at most a 20% difference in the v2 between the two event-plane methods in peripheral (40-60%) collisions. The comparisons between the two-particle cumulant results and the standard event-plane measurements are discussed. © 2009 The American Physical Society.
