Effects of Momentum Conservation and Flow on Angular Correlations at RHIC

Abstract

Correlations of azimuthal angles observed at RHIC have gained great attention due to the prospect of identifying fluctuations of parity-odd regions in the field sector of QCD. Whereas the observable of interest related to parity fluctuations involves subtracting opposite-sign from same-sign correlations, the STAR collaboration reported the same-sign and opposite-sign correlations separately. It is shown here how momentum conservation combined with collective elliptic flow contributes significantly to this class of correlations, though not to the difference between the opposite- and same-sign observables. The effects are modeled with a crude simulation of a pion gas. Though the simulation reproduces the scale of the correlation, the centrality dependence is found to be sufficiently different in character to suggest additional considerations beyond those present in the pion gas simulation presented here.
