Greybody Factors of Charged Dilaton Black Holes in 2 + 1 Dimensions
We have studied scalar perturbations of charged dilaton black holes in 2+1
dimensions. The black hole considered here is a solution to the low-energy
string theory in 2+1 dimensions. The exact decay rates and the grey body
factors for the massless minimally coupled scalar is computed for both the
charged and the uncharged dilaton black holes. The charged and the uncharged
black hole show similar behavior for grey body factors, reflection coefficients
and decay rates.Comment: The equation for the potential and figure:1 are changed. The changes

Charged AdS Black Holes and Catastrophic Holography
We compute the properties of a class of charged black holes in anti-de Sitter
space-time, in diverse dimensions. These black holes are solutions of
consistent Einstein-Maxwell truncations of gauged supergravities, which are
shown to arise from the inclusion of rotation in the transverse space. We
uncover rich thermodynamic phase structures for these systems, which display
classic critical phenomena, including structures isomorphic to the van der
Waals-Maxwell liquid-gas system. In that case, the phases are controlled by the
universal `cusp' and `swallowtail' shapes familiar from catastrophe theory. All
of the thermodynamics is consistent with field theory interpretations via
holography, where the dual field theories can sometimes be found on the world
volumes of coincident rotating branes.Comment: 19 pages, revtex, psfig, 6 multicomponent figures, typos, references

Two-dimensional Quantum-Corrected Eternal Black Hole
The one-loop quantum corrections to geometry and thermodynamics of black hole
are studied for the two-dimensional RST model. We chose boundary conditions
corresponding to the eternal black hole being in the thermal equilibrium with
the Hawking radiation. The equations of motion are exactly integrated. The one
of the solutions obtained is the constant curvature space-time with dilaton
being a constant function. Such a solution is absent in the classical theory.
On the other hand, we derive the quantum-corrected metric (\ref{solution})
written in the Schwarzschild like form which is a deformation of the classical
black hole solution \cite{5d}. The space-time singularity occurs to be milder
than in classics and the solution admits two asymptotically flat black hole
space-times lying at "different sides" of the singularity. The thermodynamics
of the classical black hole and its quantum counterpart is formulated. The
thermodynamical quantities (energy, temperature, entropy) are calculated and
occur to be the same for both the classical and quantum-corrected black holes.
So, no quantum corrections to thermodynamics are observed. The possible
relevance of the results obtained to the four-dimensional case is discussed.Comment: Latex, 28 pges; minor corrections in text and abstract made and new

Single Spin Asymmetry in Polarized Proton-Proton Elastic Scattering at GeV
We report a high precision measurement of the transverse single spin
asymmetry at the center of mass energy GeV in elastic
proton-proton scattering by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The was measured
in the four-momentum transfer squared range \GeVcSq, the region of a significant interference between the
electromagnetic and hadronic scattering amplitudes. The measured values of
and its -dependence are consistent with a vanishing hadronic spin-flip
amplitude, thus providing strong constraints on the ratio of the single
spin-flip to the non-flip amplitudes. Since the hadronic amplitude is dominated
by the Pomeron amplitude at this , we conclude that this measurement
addresses the question about the presence of a hadronic spin flip due to the
Pomeron exchange in polarized proton-proton elastic scattering.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure
High non-photonic electron production in + collisions at = 200 GeV
We present the measurement of non-photonic electron production at high
transverse momentum ( 2.5 GeV/) in + collisions at
= 200 GeV using data recorded during 2005 and 2008 by the STAR
experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The measured
cross-sections from the two runs are consistent with each other despite a large
difference in photonic background levels due to different detector
configurations. We compare the measured non-photonic electron cross-sections
with previously published RHIC data and pQCD calculations. Using the relative
contributions of B and D mesons to non-photonic electrons, we determine the
integrated cross sections of electrons () at 3 GeV/10 GeV/ from bottom and charm meson decays to be = 4.0({\rm
stat.})({\rm syst.}) nb and =
6.2({\rm stat.})({\rm syst.}) nb, respectively.Comment: 17 pages, 17 figure
Evolution of the differential transverse momentum correlation function with centrality in Au+Au collisions at GeV
We present first measurements of the evolution of the differential transverse
momentum correlation function, {\it C}, with collision centrality in Au+Au
interactions at GeV. {\it C} exhibits a strong dependence
on collision centrality that is qualitatively similar to that of number
correlations previously reported. We use the observed longitudinal broadening
of the near-side peak of {\it C} with increasing centrality to estimate the
ratio of the shear viscosity to entropy density, , of the matter formed
in central Au+Au interactions. We obtain an upper limit estimate of
that suggests that the produced medium has a small viscosity per unit entropy.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, STAR paper published in Phys. Lett.
Analytical studies of Hawking radiation and quasinormal modes in rotating linear dilatonic black hole
The rotating linear dilatonic black hole is an asymptotically non-flat
solution to Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion gravity theory due to the existence
of non-trivial matter fields. We have analytically studied the wave equation of
scalar field in this background and shown that the radial wave equation can be
solved in terms of hypergeometric function. By determining the ingoing and the
outgoing fluxes at the asymptotic infinity, we have found the analytical
expressions for reflection coefficient and greybody factor for certain scalar
modes. In the high frequency regime, we obtain the Hawking temperature by
comparing the blackbody spectrum with the radiation spectrum resulting from
reflection coefficient. It is shown that the Hawking temperature, which depends
only on the linear dilatonic background parameter, does not agree with the
temperature calculated from surface gravity. At last, the quasinormal modes of
scalar field perturbation are presented, which shows that the rotating linear
dilationic black hole is unstable for certain modes apart from the superradiant
modes.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures Comments are welcom
Effect of event selection on jetlike correlation measurement in d+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV
AbstractDihadron correlations are analyzed in sNN=200 GeV d+Au collisions classified by forward charged particle multiplicity and zero-degree neutral energy in the Au-beam direction. It is found that the jetlike correlated yield increases with the event multiplicity. After taking into account this dependence, the non-jet contribution on the away side is minimal, leaving little room for a back-to-back ridge in these collisions
J/ψ polarization in p+p collisions at s=200 GeV in STAR
AbstractWe report on a polarization measurement of inclusive J/ψ mesons in the di-electron decay channel at mid-rapidity at 2<pT<6 GeV/c in p+p collisions at s=200 GeV. Data were taken with the STAR detector at RHIC. The J/ψ polarization measurement should help to distinguish between different models of the J/ψ production mechanism since they predict different pT dependences of the J/ψ polarization. In this analysis, J/ψ polarization is studied in the helicity frame. The polarization parameter λθ measured at RHIC becomes smaller towards high pT, indicating more longitudinal J/ψ polarization as pT increases. The result is compared with predictions of presently available models
