Recent Results from PHOBOS
Constantin Loizides
In this manuscript we give a short summary of recent physics results from PHOBOS. Particular emphasis is put on elliptic flow, fluctuations in the initial geometry and the recent m…
The Importance of Correlations and Fluctuations on the Initial Source Eccentricity in High-Energy Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions
B. Alver, B. B. Back, M. D. Baker +36
In this paper, we investigate various ways of defining the initial source eccentricity using the Monte Carlo Glauber (MCG) approach. In particular, we examine the participant eccen…
Radiation Damage Study for PHENIX Silicon Stripixel Sensors
J. Asai, S. Batsouli, K. Boyle +23
Silicon stripixel sensors which were developed at BNL will be installed as part of the RHIC-PHENIX silicon vertex tracker (VTX). RHIC II operations provide luminosity up to 2x10^32…
System Size, Energy and Centrality Dependence of Pseudorapidity Distributions of Charged Particles in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
B. Alver, B. B. Back, M. D. Baker +55
We present the first measurements of the pseudorapidity distribution of primary charged particles in Cu+Cu collisions as a function of collision centrality and energy, \sqrtsnn = 2…
Elliptic Flow, Initial Eccentricity and Elliptic Flow fluctuations in Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC
Rachid Nouicer
We present measurements of elliptic flow and event-by-event fluctuations established by the PHOBOS experiment. Elliptic flow scaled by participant eccentricity is found to be simil…
PHENIX Upgrade: Novel Stripixel Detector for Heavy Quark Detection and Proton Spin Structure Measurements at RHIC Energies
Rachid Nouicer
New design of silicon stripixel sensor has been developed at BNL for PHENIX upgrade. The sensor is a single-sided, DC-coupled, two dimensional position sensitive device with good p…
