The relationship between jet properties and the underlying geometry of the medium produced in heavy ion collisions can be explored through a measurement of the correlation between the axes of reconstructed jets and the reaction plane, defined as jet v2. Such a measurement provides information on the pathlength dependence of medium-induced parton energy loss and may also be used to assess biases in jet-finding methods. We present first measurements of jet v2 in sqrt(sNN) = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions in the STAR experiment at RHIC. In order to reduce the artificial jet - event plane bias, which results from jet fragments being included in the event plane calculation, detectors at forward pseudorapidity are used to determine the event plane when measuring the v2 of reconstructed jets at mid-rapidity. These measurements demonstrate a non-zero jet v2, which is indicative of pathlength-dependent parton energy loss.
Flow harmonics ($v_n$) in the Fourier expansion of the azimuthal distribution of particles are widely used to quantify the anisotropy in particle emission in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The symmetric cumulants, $SC(m,n)$, are used to measure th
A plastic scintillator paddle detector with embedded fiber light guides and photomultiplier tube readout, referred to as the Reaction Plane Detector (RXNP), was designed and installed in the PHENIX experiment prior to the 2007 run of the Relativistic
The production of $W$ bosons in polarized $p+p$ collisions at RHIC provides an excellent tool to probe the protons sea quark distributions. At leading order $W^{-(+)}$ bosons are produced in $bar{u}+d,(bar{d}+u)$ collisions, and parity-violating sing
We measure the relative abundances of strange mesons, baryons, and anti-baryons correlated with high-$p_T$ trigger particles in $^{197}$Au + $^{197}$Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. Particle yields and ratios are extracted on the near-side
We present the recent results of strangeness production at the mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions at RHIC, from $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}$ = 7.7 to 200 GeV. The $v_2$ of multi-strange baryon $Omega$ and $phi$ mesons are similar to that of pions and protons in
