Long-range collectivity in small collision systems with two- and four-particle correlations at STAR

New STAR measurements of two- and four-particle (c2{4}) azimuthal angle correlations are reported for p+Au collisions at 200 GeV and d+Au collisions from 19.6 to 200 GeV. A negative c2{4}, consistent with collective anisotropic flow, is observed in high multiplicity d+Au events at 62.4 and 200 GeV w...

Zusammenfassung:New STAR measurements of two- and four-particle (c2{4}) azimuthal angle correlations are reported for p+Au collisions at 200 GeV and d+Au collisions from 19.6 to 200 GeV. A negative c2{4}, consistent with collective anisotropic flow, is observed in high multiplicity d+Au events at 62.4 and 200 GeV where the statistical significance of the data allows an analysis. A template fitting method, employed to subtract non-flow contributions to the two-particle correlations, allows the extraction of the anisotropy coefficients (ν2) for these systems at their respective energies. The ν2 results for different energies show a common dependence on the charged particle multiplicity density (〈dNch/dη〉), which provide important insight on the nature of collective behavior in small collision systems.
