Multi-particle and charge-dependent azimuthal correlations in heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider

Abstract

We study multi-particle azimuthal correlations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at a center of mass energy of 200 GeV. We use the IP-Glasma model to initialize the viscous hydrodynamic simulation MUSIC and employ the UrQMD transport model for the low temperature region of the collisions. In addition, we study effects of local charge and global momentum conservation among the sampled particles. With the exception of the lowest order three particle correlator $C_{112}$, our framework provides a good description of the existing charge inclusive azimuthal correlation data for Au+Au and U+U collisions at RHIC. We also present results for charge dependent two and three particle correlators in Au+Au and U+U collisions, and make predictions for isobar (Ru+Ru & Zr+Zr) collisions to provide a much needed baseline for the search for the Chiral Magnetic Effect at RHIC.
