Three-particle correlations in a multiphase transport model

Using a multiphase transport model, we study three-particle mixed harmonic correlations in relativistic heavy ion collisions by considering the observable Cm,n,m+n=《cos⁡(mϕ1+nϕ2−(m+n)ϕ3)》, where ϕ1,2,3 are azimuthal angles of all particle triplets. We find that except for C123, our results on the centrality dependence of C112, C224 and C235 as well as the relative pseudorapidity dependence of C123 and C224 in Au + Au collisions at s=200 GeV agree reasonable well with the experimental data from the STAR Collaboration. We discuss the implications of our results.
