在LHC上pPb和PbPb碰撞中利用电荷相关方位角关联对手征磁效应的限制

Constraints on the chiral magnetic effect using charge-dependent azimuthal correlations in pPb and PbPb collisions at the LHC

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

在LHC的CMS实验中,测量了$\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} =$ 8.16 TeV的pPb碰撞和5.02 TeV的PbPb碰撞中同号和反号对相对于二级和三级事件平面的电荷依赖方位角关联.该测量的动机是寻找在重离子碰撞中由手征磁效应(CME)预言的电荷分离现象。三个和两个粒子的方位角动量作为赝快度差,横向动量($p_\mathrm{t}$)的差异,和$p_\mathrm{t}$平均相同和相反的电荷对在不同的事件多重性范围内的函数提取。这些数据表明,电荷依赖的三粒子相互作用相对于第二和第三阶事件平面有一个共同的起源,主要是由电荷依赖的两粒子方位角相关性加上各向异性流。当磁场固定时,CME将导致一个与$v_2$无关的三粒子关联。使用事件形状工程技术,上的$v_2$独立的分数的三粒子相关器的上限估计为13%的pPb和7%的PbPb碰撞在95%的置信水平。这种分析的结果,两个粒子的相关性作为一个源的三粒子的结果和PbPb和pPb之间的相似性的主导地位,提供严格的约束的起源电荷依赖的三粒子方位角相关性和挑战他们的解释所产生的手征磁效应在重离子碰撞。

英文摘要:

Charge-dependent azimuthal correlations of same- and opposite-sign pairs with respect to the second- and third-order event planes have been measured in pPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} =$ 8.16 TeV and PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The measurement is motivated by the search for the charge separation phenomenon predicted by the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in heavy ion collisions. Three- and two-particle azimuthal correlators are extracted as functions of the pseudorapidity difference, the transverse momentum ($p_\mathrm{t}$) difference, and the $p_\mathrm{t}$ average of same- and opposite-charge pairs in various event multiplicity ranges. The data suggest that the charge-dependent three-particle correlators with respect to the second- and third-order event planes share a common origin, predominantly arising from charge-dependent two-particle azimuthal correlations coupled with an anisotropic flow. The CME is expected to lead to a $v_2$-independent three-particle correlation when the magnetic field is fixed. Using an event shape engineering technique, upper limits on the $v_2$-independent fraction of the three-particle correlator are estimated to be 13% for pPb and 7% for PbPb collisions at 95% confidence level. The results of this analysis, both the dominance of two-particle correlations as a source of the three-particle results and the similarities seen between PbPb and pPb, provide stringent constraints on the origin of charge-dependent three-particle azimuthal correlations and challenge their interpretation as arising from a chiral magnetic effect in heavy ion collisions.
