Improving Optics Control and Measurement at RHIC

Announce Type: replace Abstract: Maximizing luminosity requires precise control of the optics function at the interaction point (IP), implying that the location ($s^*$) of the beta function's minimum value ($\beta^*$) must be moved to the collision location ($s_{IP}$) as much as possible. Accurate optics measurements and reliable control of $s^*$ in both planes are therefore essential for optimal collider performance. During Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) operations in 2024,...

Evaluation of the beam-induced depolarization of the HJET target at the EIC

arXiv:2601.17220v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Polarized Atomic Hydrogen Gas Jet Target (HJET) has played a central role in the absolute calibration of proton beam polarization at RHIC and is foreseen as a key component of the hadron polarimetry program at the future Electron--Ion Collider (EIC). The substantially higher beam current, reduced bunch spacing, and shorter bunch length planned for EIC operation motivate a careful reassessment of possible beam-induced depolarization of...

Proton High-Order Cumulants in Au+Au Collisions at High Baryon Density from JAM with a Centrality-Independent Framework

arXiv:2606.00786v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The event-by-event higher-order cumulants of conserved quantities such as net-baryon, net-electric charge, and net-strangeness in heavy-ion collisions have been extensively utilized in experimental searches for the QCD critical point, notably in the RHIC-STAR experiment. In this study, we conduct a systematic analysis of higher-order cumulants of proton number distributions in Au+Au collisions at center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} =...

A practical methodology for $\Lambda$ global polarization extraction in fixed-target experiments

arXiv:2606.04441v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Non-central heavy-ion collisions generate large orbital angular momentum in the created medium, which leads to polarization of final-state particles via spin-orbit coupling, known as global spin polarization. The observation of significant global polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperon in heavy-ion collisions indicates that the quark-gluon plasma is the most vortical fluid known in nature. Exploring $\Lambda$ global polarization at lower energies is...
