英文摘要 | We present the first spin alignment measurements for the k*(0)(892) and phi(1020) vector mesons produced at midrapidity with transverse momenta up to 5 gev/c at root s(nn) = 200 gev at rhic. the diagonal spin-density matrix elements with respect to the reaction plane in au+au collisions are rho(00) = 0.32 +/- 0.04 (stat) +/- 0.09 (syst) for the k*(0) (0.8 < p(t) < 5.0 gev/c) and rho(00) = 0.34 +/- 0.02 (stat) +/- 0.03 (syst) for the phi (0.4 < p(t) < 5.0 gev/c) and are constant with transverse momentum and collision centrality. the data are consistent with the unpolarized expectation of 1/3 and thus no evidence is found for the transfer of the orbital angular momentum of the colliding system to the vector-meson spins. spin alignments for k-*0 and phi in au+au collisions were also measured with respect to the particle's production plane. the phi result, rho(00) = 0.41 +/- 0.02 (stat) +/- 0.04 (syst), is consistent with that in p+p collisions, rho(00) = 0.39 +/- 0.03 (stat) +/- 0.06 (syst), also measured in this work. the measurements thus constrain the possible size of polarization phenomena in the production dynamics of vector mesons. |
