Correlations and Fluctuations in STAR
Abstract
We report measurements for the balance function, transverse momentum fluctuations, and net charge fluctuations from Au+Au collisions at 20, 130, and 200 GeV as well as p+p and d+Au collisions at 200 GeV using STAR at RHIC. For Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV, we observe a narrowing of the balance function in central collisions. We observe dynamic transverse momentum fluctuations at all incident energies. Observables related to transverse momentum fluctuations and net charge fluctuations are similar for peripheral Au+Au collisions and inclusive p+p collisions while central Au+Au collisions deviate significantly from HIJING predictions.
