Dipole asymmetry at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV Au+Au Collisions from STAR experiment at RHIC

Abstract

We report the first measurements of azimuthal anisotropy at midrapidity originated from the dipole asymmetry due to fluctuations in the initial geometry in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, based on data from the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The signal is almost symmetric in pseudorapidity and we report it as a function of pseudorapidity and transverse momentum for different centrality. Results are compared with available model predictions
