Abstract

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 [Formula: see text] and 62.4 GeV. These results indicate a relatively large long-range correlation is produced in Au + Au collisions compared to a pp baseline at [Formula: see text]. 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 [Formula: see text] is presented.
