17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Exploring the Phase Diagram: The RHIC Contribution  RHIC is currently a unique facility for understanding the physics of high energy density, low net-baryon density, strongly- interacting matter.  RHIC could soon be one of several facilities for exploring the physics of a larger range of the phase diagram of strongly-interacting matter.  Both experimental and theoretical hints suggest that the additional regions of the QCD phase diagram may hold some intriguing new physics.  Not news to this audience…

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter  Old work of Busza and others on rapidity loss of leading baryon in p+A suggested that high(est??) baryon densities are created in collisions of beams around GeV on fixed targets.  AGS program also focused on high baryon density but may have had a tad too low beam energy. Motivation – I

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Motivation II – Gazdzicki QM04 Several other observables show similar non-monotonic behavior.

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter What does it mean?  See other talks today…  I hope we all agree it is very interesting, whatever the explanation!

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter RHIC Beam Regions RHIC BEAM Fixed Here there be dragons RHIC BEAM Colliding

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter 20 o Experimental Phase Space Only need to measure on one side if symmetric 10 Y CM 10 Y CM o

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Low Energy Collider Mode??  In principle, RHIC can circulate and collide beams at below the normal injection energies.  AGS has experience running at lower energies.  Decelerating the beam may even be a possibility.  Would use existing experiments most efficiently. BUT…

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Low Energy Collider Mode??  May require significant machine development.  Certainly requires dedicated beam program.  If luminosity drops like 1/(Energy) 2, the rate could be a serious issue, requiring a long program.  Would still need “forward” angles. Reasonable coverage of rapidity distributions requires data down to  < ~10-20 o. BUT…

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter High Rapidity at RHIC  Same Physics??  At lower SPS energies, p/p ~ 0.05 or less.  At full RHIC Au+Au energies, p/p is still ~ 0.25 at rapidity as large as 3.  So, technically very challenging! but similar physics??

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter High Rapidity at RHIC  Same Physics??  Protons rising and antiprotons dropping fast so conditions are not stable over a broad region.  Out on the tails of the rapidity distributions where kinematics have a big effect.  K + and K  deviate already around rapidity of 2.  Saturation effects (CGC, etc) may strongly impact physics, especially particle production.  So, very interesting region to investigate but perhaps (probably??) not the same physics as midrapidity at  s NN ~4-10 GeV. BUT…

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Beam & Machine Issues  Effective beam current is frighteningly high.  0.7  10 9 ions/bunch  3  ions/second!  Beam loss cross sections are comparable to nuclear interaction cross sections so particle losses are of the same order as the data rate.  Only a very narrow beam region near 21.3 GeV is inaccessible to machine due to transition.  Some data near transition obtainable during ramp.

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Target Options  Foil target: Would anything survive the beam?  Wire: Could be moving or located in halo.  Gas jet: Fairly standard technology but need to be careful about RHIC vacuum and choice of target material somewhat limited.  Ion beam: Might be possible due to huge effective beam current. Many advantages of control, choice of targets, local expertise.  Biggest design issue ($$$?) may be beam pipe.

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Kaon Data Samples in Au+Au  Typical dN/dy values for kaons in the interesting energy regime are K  yield might be as low as 0.1 in region away from c.m. rapidity for non-central collisions at ~10 GeV beam energies.  With 1 million events, you don’t need much acceptance to get enough kaons to accurately determine the yield and slope.

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Possible Running Modes  Dedicated running  With only 100 Hz DAQ, 1 million events takes < 3 hours. For 3 energies (10, 25, 40) and 8 spectrometer settings per energy (4 angles, 2 polarities), you need ~ 3 days.  Taking survey data during ramp  RHIC currently ramps 90 GeV in  5 min, so each ramp gives 17 seconds per 5 GeV bin in beam energy.  With 6 ramps per day, 200 Hz DAQ rate, and 6 weeks, data sample is almost 1 million events in each 5 GeV bin.  Slower ramping is possible.  Early proof-of-principle run mode?

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Fixed Target in ??  Sadly, probably not worth it, too bad…

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter 20

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Fixed Target in ?? 2.3  30 o 25  90 o

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Fixed Target in ??  Angular range and PID clearly not a problem!  Acceptance: Rough calculation of BRAHMS yield   (  /2  ) for both spectrometers are comparable and of the order of 0.5  1.5  10  3.  Even for dN/dy ~ 0.1, 1M events gives 100 particles.  Does not include full momentum acceptance, but not a big effect.  Modest data samples are probably adequate.  More realistic calculation clearly required.

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Can RHIC compete with this:

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter The Ideal Solution??

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Comparing RHIC and NA49  Think complementarity, rather than competition.  Independent verification is crucial!  Multiple experiments a great strength at RHIC.  NA49 has a huge acceptance but smaller event samples (typically a few hundred thousand).  Much easier at RHIC to do many energies quickly.  With a modest effort, an initial survey energy scan could be very competitive with existing NA49 data.

17-Nov-2004G.S.F.Stephans Exploring the Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter Closing Thoughts  RHIC can make an important contribution to the exploration of this exciting new regime.  A first survey program could be done with a modest investment of time and money.  Some early data could be taken during ramping the beam energy in normal collider operations.  I look forward to an exciting program at a multitude of locations!
