STAR Flow, Chirality and Vorticity PWG

[Sooraj Radhakrishnan <skradhakrishnan AT lbl.gov>]

Hi Ashik,

   Thanks for the replies. The predicted sign for the Delta v1 at 200 GeV is negative, for example see for D-Dbar here https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.11066.pdf. But this again depends on the interplay of the electric and magnetic components. Its a time varying magnetic field, so that has a big impact. But these are calculations, so could be either way in reality

For the mass scaling part when you say similar mass, do you mean with the formula including the pre-factors in the sums? My question was, say in your formula K- + 1/3 pbar - Lambda, you are underweighting pbar and so basically combining K- and Lambda. If there is a mass scaling between K- and Lambda, would that affect your conclusions?

thanks

Hi Sooraj,

Thanks for your email. Here are my responses:

The v1 for positive as well negative charge is negative at positive rapidity - at least for the sqrt {s_NN} studied here. You can have a look at (at 27 and 54.4 GeV): https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/STARprelim_BulkCorr016102019.pdf

It's true that the magnetic field affects the v1 for positive and negative charge. But, one should keep in mind that the real scenario is much more complicated due to transport for beam rapidity and other effects like Coulomb, etc.  In our analysis, the Delta v1 is not calculated by simply subtracting v1 b/w positive and negative particles (except v1(omegabar) - v1(omega)), rather by subtracting v1 b/w combinations of produced particles. The combinations have different charge differences. The Delta v1 slope increases with charge differences at 27 GeV and I think it is consistent with the deflection from the magnetic field.

Now in my slide 39, I showed the pT/nq dependence of 2 combinations having identical quark contents ((charge diff is zero).). This a test for the coalescence inspired sum rule with pT/nq. You can see that the sum rule holds very well at the intermediate pT region to the pT region shown here. However, at very low pT, there is a difference. While in slide 42, I showed the pT/nq dependence where there are non-identical quark combinations (charge diff is non-zero). So, one should not expect the agreement in the region where there was an agreement for the identical quark content case before. In the other words, this is a violation of the sum rule for non-zero charge diff. 

Our conclusion of the Delta v1 slope is based on the rapidity dependent study. It is important to mention that we curved out the same phase space (pT/nq-y) region for every particle in our analysis. In this way, we already have the lower pT/nq cut in our analysis. 

Regarding the mass scaling effect on flow, I would say there is an effect of mass on the flow. This is respected in our measurements. We combine different produced particles in such a way that the combinations have the same mass at the partonic level.

Let me know if you need further clarifications.

Best,

Ashik

Hi Ashik,

   These are nice studies and interesting results. Can I ask a couple of questions/clarifications?

Is the sign of the observed Delta v1 consistent with the deflection from a magnetic field? Shouldnt the v1 from the magnetic field be negative for a positive charge at positive rapidity?

I see on your slides 39, 42 that the pT dependences are not trivial. Do you understand these? In 39, there is a difference at low pT, while in 42 its mostly at high pT. So if you have a lower pT cut, would it change your conclusions?

When you add the v1 and select the pT ranges, would any mass scaling effects affect the flow values? At low momenta, there is also mass scaling in addition to quark number scaling

thanks
