Conservation Laws and the Multiplicity Evolution of Spectra at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
Zbigniew Chajȩcki, Mike Lisa
Transverse momentum distributions in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions carry considerable information about the dynamics of the hot system produced. Direct comparison with th…
What to Expect When You're Expecting: Femtoscopy at the LHC
Mike Lisa
A huge systematics of femtoscopic measurements have been used over the past 20 years to characterize the system created in heavy ion collisions. These measurements cover two orders…
Azimuthally-sensitive pion HBT at RHIC
Mike Lisa
The STAR Collaboration has measured two-pion correlation functions versus emission angle with respect to the event plane in non-central Au+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}}=130, 200 G…
Do p+p Collisions Flow at RHIC? Understanding One-Particle Distributions, Multiplicity Evolution, and Conservation Laws
Zbigniew Chajȩcki, Mike Lisa
Collective, explosive flow in central heavy ion collisions manifests itself in the mass dependence of distributions and femtoscopic length scales, measured in the soft sector…
Femtoscopy in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions: Two Decades of Progress
Mike Lisa, Scott Pratt, Ron Soltz +1
Analyses of two-particle correlations have provided the chief means for determining spatio-temporal characteristics of relativistic heavy ion collisions. We discuss the theoretical…
A twisted emission geometry in non-central Pb+Pb collisions measurable via azimuthally sensitive HBT
Gunnar Graef, Mike Lisa, Marcus Bleicher
We use the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model to simulate Pb+Pb collisions. In the freeze out geometry of non-central Pb+Pb collisions we observe a tilt of…
The VERITAS-Stellar Intensity Interferometry (VSII) survey of Stellar Diameters
David Kieda, Jonathan Davis, Tugdual LeBohec +2
The VERITAS Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) array was augmented in 2019 with high-speed focal plane electronics to allow its use for Stellar Intensity Interferometry (SII) o…
Investigation of Experimental Observables in Search of the Chiral Magnetic Effect in Heavy-ion Collisions in the STAR experiment
Subikash Choudhury, Xin Dong, Jim Drachenberg +27
The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a novel transport phenomenon, arising from the interplay between quantum anomalies and strong magnetic fields in chiral systems. In high-energy…
Observable implications of geometrical and dynamical aspects of freeze-out in heavy ion collisions
Fabrice Retiere, Mike Lisa
Using an analytical parameterization of hadronic freeze-out in relativistic heavy ion collisions, we present a detailed study of the connections between features of the freeze-out…
Timescales in heavy ion collisions
Mike Lisa
The study of high energy collisions between heavy nuclei is a field unto itself, distinct from nuclear and particle physics. A defining aspect of heavy ion physics is the importanc…
Femtoscopy in heavy ion collisions: Wherefore, whence, and whither?
Mike Lisa
I present a brief overview of the wealth of femtoscopic measurements from the past two decades of heavy ion experiments. Essentially every conceivable knob at our disposal has been…
Global Conservation Laws and Femtoscopy of Small Systems
Zbigniew Chajecki, Mike Lisa
It is important to understand, in detail, two-pion correlations measured in p+p and d+A collisions. In particular, one wishes to understand the femtoscopic correlations, in order t…
Correspondence between HBT radii and the emission zone in non-central heavy ion collisions
Elliot Mount, Gunnar Graef, Michael Mitrovski +2
In non-central collisions between ultra-relativistic heavy ions, the freeze-out distribution is anisotropic, and its major longitudinal axis may be tilted away from the beam direct…
Global Conservation Laws and Femtoscopy of Small Systems
Zbigniew Chajecki, Mike Lisa
It is increasingly important to understand, in detail, two-pion correlations measured in p+p and d+A collisions. In particular, one wishes to understand the femtoscopic correlation…
Status of the VERITAS Stellar Intensity Interferometry (VSII) System
D. B Kieda, Jonathan Davis, Tugdual LeBohec +2
The VERITAS Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope array (IACT) was augmented in 2019 with high-speed focal plane electronics to allow the use of VERITAS for Stellar Intensity Interferome…
