Tilted geometry of the pion emission source in Au+Au collisions in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan

STAR Collaboration

The tilt angle of the pion emission source in Au+Au collisions decreases rapidly with rising collision energy and depends strongly on pair transverse momentum.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Our results reveal a strong dependence of the tilt parameter on the pair transverse momentum, indicating that the apparent source geometry is strongly coupled to expansion dynamics. Moreover, we observe a rapid decrease of the tilt magnitude with increasing collision energy, consistent with the emission source approaching longitudinal boost invariance at higher energies.

C2weakest assumption

The azimuthally sensitive femtoscopy analysis assumes that the extracted tilt angle and freeze-out eccentricity faithfully reflect the true source geometry without large biases from detector acceptance, pair selection cuts, or the specific parametrization of the correlation function.

C3one line summary

The pion emission source in Au+Au collisions is tilted with magnitude decreasing rapidly as collision energy rises from 7.7 to 27 GeV, indicating departure from longitudinal boost invariance.
