Multiparticle and charge-dependent azimuthal correlations in heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: We study multiparticle azimuthal correlations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV. We use the impact parameter-dependent Glasma model to initialize the viscous hydrodynamic simulation MUSIC and employ the UrQMD transport model for the low-temperature region of the collisions. In addition, we study effects of local charge and global momentum conservation among the sampled particles. With the exception of the lowest-order three-particle correlator ${C}_{112}$, our framework provides a good description of the existing charge-inclusive azimuthal correlation data for Au+Au and U+U collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC). We also present results for charge-dependent two- and three-particle correlators in Au+Au and U+U collisions and make predictions for isobar (Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr) collisions to provide a much-needed baseline for the search for the chiral magnetic effect at RHIC.
