Forward-backward multiplicity correlations in the 'wounded nucleon' model

Journal Article Bzdak, Adam - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The forward-backward multiplicity correlation strength is calculated for arbitrary nucleus-nucleus collision in the framework of the wounded nucleon model. Discussion of our results in the context of the recent STAR data in Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s)=200 GeV is presented. It is suggested that the observed (i) growth of the correlation coefficient with centrality and (ii) approximately flat pseudorapidity dependence of the correlation strength for central collisions are due to the fluctuations of the number of wounded nucleons at a given centrality bin.

Forward-backward multiplicity fluctuations in heavy nuclei collisions in the wounded nucleon model

Journal Article Bzdak, Adam ; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 1 Cyclotron Road, MS70R0319, Berkeley, California 94720 ; Wozniak, Krzysztof - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We use the wounded nucleon model to study the forward-backward multiplicity fluctuations measured by the PHOBOS Collaboration in Au + Au collisions at sq root(s{sub N{sub N}})=200 GeV. The enhancement of forward-backward fluctuations in Au + Au collisions with respect to the elementary p+p interactions is explained in this model by the asymmetric shape of the pseudorapidity density of produced particles from a single wounded nucleon and the fluctuations of the number of wounded nucleons in the colliding nuclei. The wounded nucleon model describes these experimental data better than the HIJING, AMPT, or UrQMD models do.

Growth of Long Range Forward-Backward Multiplicity Correlations with Centrality in Au+Au Collisions at sqrt sNN = 200 GeV

Journal Article STAR Collaboration ; Abelev, Betty - Physical Review Letter

Forward-backward multiplicity correlation strengths have been measured with the STAR detector for Au+Au and p+p collisions at {radical}s{sub NN} = 200 GeV. Strong short and long range correlations (LRC) are seen in central Au+Au collisions. The magnitude of these correlations decrease with decreasing centrality until only short range correlations are observed in peripheral Au+Au collisions. Both the Dual Parton Model (DPM) and the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) predict the existence of the long range correlations. In the DPM the fluctuation in the number of elementary (parton) inelastic collisions produces the LRC. In the CGC longitudinal color flux tubes generate themore »« less

Centrality dependence of forward-backward multiplicity correlation in Au+Au collisions at sq root(s{sub NN})=200 GeV

Journal Article Yuliang, Yan ; Xiaomei, Li ; Hailiang, Ma ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We have studied the centrality dependence of charged-particle forward-backward multiplicity correlation strength in Au+Au collisions at sq root(s{sub NN})=200 GeV with a parton and hadron cascade model, PACIAE, based on PYTHIA. The calculated results are compared with the STAR data. The experimentally observed correlation strength characteristics, (1) the approximately flat pseudorapidity dependence in central collisions and (2) the monotonous decrease with decreasing centrality, are reproduced well. However, the theoretical results are larger than the STAR data for the peripheral collisions. We compare the different models and STAR data.

Forward-backward correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions: Baseline contributions from geometrical fluctuations

Journal Article Konchakovski, V P ; Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kiev ; Hauer, M ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We discuss the effects of initial collision geometry and centrality bin definition on correlation and fluctuation observables in nucleus-nucleus collisions. We focus on the forward-backward correlation coefficient recently measured by the STAR Collaboration in Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Our study is carried out within two models: the Glauber Monte Carlo code with a 'toy' wounded-nucleon model and the hadron-string dynamics (HSD) transport approach. We show that strong correlations can arise from averaging over events in one centrality bin. We, furthermore, argue that a study of the dependence of correlations on the centrality bin definition as well as the bin sizemore »« less
