    The authors consider limit cycle bifurcations for a class of non-smooth polynomial differential systems by perturbing a piecewise linear Hamiltonian system with a center at the origin and a heteroclinic loop around the origin. When the degree of perturbing polynomial terms is \(n,\) it is obtained that \(n\) limit cycles can appear near the origin and the heteroclinic loop respectively by using the first Melnikov function of piecewise near-Hamiltonian systems. Especially, for \(n=1,2,3,4,\) a precise result on the maximal number of zeros of the first Melnikov function is derived.
