TITLE:
Azimuthal correlations as a tool
for testing of fundamental symmetries and
searching for novel phenomena in heavy ion collisions

ABSTRACT:
The system created in non-central relativistic nucleus-nucleus 
collisions possesses large orbital angular momentum. Some of 
the most interesting and important phenomena predicted to 
occur in such a system are the strong parity violation and the 
global system polarization. Analysis of two and three particle 
azimuthal correlations is a unique tool for experimental 
study of such phenomena in heavy ion collisions. We present the 
preliminary results on the parity violation and global polarization 
measurements in Au+Au collisions at 62 and 200 GeV center of mass 
energies obtained with the STAR detector at RHIC.
