| A novel study of CP violation in
the quark-gluon plasma at RHIC using the PHENIX detector |
| |
|
| Content: |
A new method is presented for the quantitative measurement of charge
separation about the reaction plane. A correlation function is obtained
whose shape is concave when there is a net separation of positive and
negative charges. Correlations not specifically associated with a charge
seperation, do not influence the shape or magnitude of the correlation
function. Detailed simulations are used to demonstrate the effectiveness
of the method for the quantitative measurement of charge separation. Such
measurements are a pre-requisite to the investigation of topological
charge effects in the QGP leading to local CP violation. Results are
presented for the application of the method to the PHENIX data from 200
GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. |
