The Reaction Plane Detector (RXN) at RHIC-PHENIX analyzes 200GeV Au+Au collisions. Selections are based on BBC charged multiplicity and z-vertex criteria. The detector captures combined inner and outer segments to measure charge asymmetry and determine reaction centrality, with specific thresholds applied for event classification. The analysis considers parameters such as charge multiplicity, symmetry in south and north segments, and vertex positions to study collision dynamics. Various calculations and comparisons are conducted to assess event characteristics, demonstrating the capabilities of the RXN in experimental observations.
