Energy Dependence of Short and Long-Range Multiplicity Correlations in Au+Au Collisions from STAR
A general overview of the measurement of long-range multiplicity correlations
measured by the STAR experiment in Au+Au collisions at RHIC is presented. The
presence of long-range correlations can provide insight into the early stages,
and the type of matter produced in, these collisions. These measurements have
been made in Au+Au collisions at = 200 and 62.4 GeV. These
results indicate a relatively large long-range correlation is produced in Au+Au
collisions compared to a {\it pp} baseline at = 200 GeV. A
weaker long-range correlation is seen as a function of incident energy.
Further, comparison of the onset of the long-range correlation to the
calculated percolation density parameter at = 200 GeV is
presented.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, Conference Proceedings for the XI International
