Measurements of the chiral magnetic effect with background isolation in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at STAR

Using two novel methods, pair invariant mass (minv) and comparative measurements with respect to reaction plane (ΨRP) and participant plane (ΨPP), we isolate the possible chiral magnetic effect (CME) from backgrounds in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at STAR. The invariant mass method identifies the reson...

description Using two novel methods, pair invariant mass (minv) and comparative measurements with respect to reaction plane (ΨRP) and participant plane (ΨPP), we isolate the possible chiral magnetic effect (CME) from backgrounds in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at STAR. The invariant mass method identifies the resonance background contributions, coupled with the elliptic flow (ν2), to the charge correlator CME observable (Δγ). At high mass (minv>1.5GeV/c2) where resonance contribution is small, we obtain the average Δγ magnitude. In the low mass region (minv
