| contents | The first measurement of inclusive J/psi polarization at mid-rapidity (|y^{J/psi}| < 0.8) in 200 GeV Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV with the STAR experiment at RHIC is presented. J/psi mesons are reconstructed through their di-electron (e+e-) decay channel. The polarization parameters (lambda_theta, lambda_phi) are measured as a function of the J/psi transverse momentum (p_T) and collision centrality in both the helicity and the Collins-Soper frames. These polarization parameters are found to be consistent with zero across the measured J/psi p_T range of 0.2 < p_T < 10 GeV/c and across collision centralities within 0-80 percent in both frames. These results are consistent with corresponding measurements p+p collisions at the same collision energy and with transport-model calculations. |
