Proton - Lambda correlations in Au-Au Collisions at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV from the STAR experiment

preprint2004arXivOpen access

Abstract

The space-time evolution of the source of particles formed in the collision of nuclei can be studied through particle correlations. The STAR experiment is dedicated to study ultra-relativistic heavy ions collisions and allows to measure non-identical strange particle correlations. The source size can be extracted by studying p−Λp-Λ, pˉ−Λˉ\bar{p}-\barΛ, pˉ−Λ\bar{p}-Λ and p−Λˉp-\barΛ correlation functions. Strong interaction potential has been studied for these systems using an analytical model. Final State Interaction (FSI) parameters have been determined and has shown a significant annihilation process present in pˉ−Λ\bar{p}-Λ and p−Λˉp-\barΛ systems not present in p−Λp-Λ and pˉ−Λˉ\bar{p}-\barΛ.
