Observation of the Electromagnetic Field Effect via Charge-Dependent Directed Flow in Heavy-Ion Collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The deconfined quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions enables the exploration of the fundamental properties of matter under extreme conditions. Noncentral collisions can produce strong magnetic fields on the order of 1018 G, which offers a probe into the electrical conductivity of the QGP. In particular, quarks and antiquarks carry opposite charges and receive contrary electromagnetic forces that alter their momenta. This phenomenon can be manifested in the collective motion of final -state particles, specifically in the rapidity-odd directed flow, denoted as v1oy thorn . Here, we present the charge-dependent measurements of dv1=dy near midrapidities for pi ⠂, K ⠂, and pop over bar thorn in Au thorn Au and isobar (96 44Ru thorn 9644Ru and 9640Zr thorn 96 40Zr) collisions at ffiffiffiffiffiffiffi p 1/4 200 GeV, and in Au thorn Au collisions at sNN 27 GeV, recorded by the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The combined dependence of the v1 signal on collision system, particle species, and collision centrality can be qualitatively and semiquantitatively understood as several effects on constituent quarks. While the results in central events can be explained by the u and d quarks transported from initial -state nuclei, those in peripheral events reveal the impacts of the electromagnetic field on the QGP. Our data put valuable constraints on the electrical conductivity of the QGP in theoretical calculations.
