Abstract

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) ⁣C_{m,n,m+n}=\langle\negmedspace\langle \cos(m\phi_1+n\phi_2-(m+n)\phi_3)\rangle\negmedspace\rangle, where ϕ1,2,3\phi_{1,2,3} are azimuthal angles of all particle triplets. We find that except for C123C_{123}, our results on the centrality dependence of C112C_{112}, C224C_{224} and C235C_{235} as well as the relative pseudorapidity dependence of C123C_{123} and C224C_{224} in Au+Au collisions at s=\sqrt{s}=200 GeV agree reasonable well with the experimental data from the STAR Collaboration. We discuss the implications of our results.
