Surprises… In vacuum pp collisions: p/  ~ 0.3 Hadronization has been modified 1 10 T max ) PHENIX, PRL89(2003) Baryon/Mesons Protons appear not suppressed! Quenching Au+Au p+p  Jet quenching should affect both   suppression: evidence of jet quenching before fragmentation

Hadronization in Heavy-Ion Collisions Initial state: no partons in the vacuum but a thermal ensemble of partons The bulk hadronization dynamics much less violent (t ~ 4 fm/c) dense parton systems no need for creation and splitting of partons Parton spectrum H Baryon Meson Coal. Fragmentation V. Greco et al. / R.J. Fries et al., PRL 90(2003) Fragmentation:  energy needed to create quarks from vacuum  hadrons from higher p T  partons are already there $ to be close in phase space $  p h = n p T,, n = 2, 3 baryons from lower momenta (denser) Coalescence: ReCo pushes out soft physics by factors x2 and x3 !

Basic Theory Discard details of dynamics -> adiabatic approximation: instantaneous projection of initial state onto final cluster - Go in the  momentum frame - Neglect the transverse momentum - Neglect r,p correlations -> only p-space - direct production (no resonances)  M (r,q) Meson wave function All fairly good approximations At p T > 2 GeV/c x i light-cone momentum fraction Approximation in FMNB (Hwa-Yang) C M spin-isospin color factor fragmenting: P h = z p q, z<1 Recombining : X 1 P h +x 2 P h =P h Fries, QM’04 Fries-Nonaka-Muller-Bass, PRC68(03)

Specific features of Reco in HIC  ReCo for power law jet spectra Even if eventually Fragmentation takes over … Need of Coalescence + Fragmentation model Both mesons and baryons have the same distribution at variance with fragmentation P-> ∞ or m=0 Meson  ReCo is very effective for thermal spectra : Fragmentation for power law spectra:  Fragmentation for power law spectra:  shift small power enhancement Suppressed by a power n=# of quarks Baryon for power law spectra

 Mass-dependence of v 2 (p T ) suggests common transverse velocity field large  At higher p T v 2 for Baryon=Mesons in both - hydrodynamics - jet fragmentation  Again surprise Baryon ≠ Mesons : v 2 larger for Baryons Elliptic flow at intermediate p T

Coalescence carries another features … Enhancement of v 2 Coalescence scaling baryons mesons Molnar and Voloshin, PRL91 (2003)  Considering only momentum space  x - p correlation neglected  narrow wave function  collinear approximation  v 2 for baryon is larger and saturates at higher p T v 2q fitted from v 2  GKL  Quark number scaling!

 4  /s >3  too low v 2 (p T ) at p T  1.5 GeV/c even with coalescence  4  /s =1 not small enough to get the large v 2 (p T ) at p T  2 GeV/c without coalescence Agreement with Hydro at low p T Parton Cascade at fixed shear viscosity Role of Reco for  /s estimate Hadronic  /s included  shape for v 2 (p T ) consistent with that needed by coalescence 20-30% centrality A quantitative estimate needs an EOS with phase transition: ~ v s 2 (T) v 2 suppression ~ 30% ~ 0.1 may be in agreement ->  /s ~ 0.1 may be in agreement with coalesccence

R cp ~1 with large v 2 reverts Coalescence reverts the correlation between R AA & v 2 : both are enhanced This rules out other explanations: Baryon junctions, hydro+jets This effect is essential also for the study of charm quark interaction !

Ok, but this is really too naive… !? 1)Resonances (included in GKL) 2)Finite width Wave function 3)Gluons  ALCOR, GKL : mass suppressed, quark dressing, splitting  Higher Fock States, Fries-Muller-Bass, PLB618 (05) 4) Energy Conservation  not large 17% in GKL, resonances decay & v 2  Boltzmann Collision Integral approach: Ravagli-Rapp PLB655(2007) 5) Entropy Conservation  15% like energy – mass, resonances, expansion 6) Relation to jet-like correlations  Consistent with ReCo- Fries et al., PRL94, but need of a transport description 7) Space-momentum correlations affect v 2 scaling Pratt-Pal PRC71, Molnar nucl-th/ , Greco-Ko nucl-th/ , Rapp-Ravagli PRC79 Less important at high p T Stability of Reco results respect uncertainties in their treatment high p T the problem suppressed by m/p T but even at low p T is not so drammatic

Dependence on wave function of v 2 scaling  p momentum width of w.f. Baryon-to-Meson breaking of the scaling Wavefunction+ Resonance decays Breaking :  increasing with  p  decreasing with p T

Higher Fock State Costituent quark picture is a good description of hadron PDF as Q 2 < 1 GeV 2 (higher Fock state are suppressed) B. Muller et al., PLB618(05) v 2 scaling is preserved Spectra are not affected (at least p T >> m ) Fock state, n = # partons s = # of sea partons For narrow w.f. limit Standard higher twist w.f

Entropy Conservation? Assuming hadronization linear with t during a mixed phase with the spectra of the static GKL model (    Energy is also not conserved ! 15% violation, No factor 2 : - resonances - mass of the particle - degeneracies  Entropy- Energy Conservation Entropy violation is also related to energy conservation and not to ReCo Greco, EPJ ST155(2008)

Transport approach to Coalescence->Energy Conservation Miao et al., PRC75(2007) Rapp-Ravagli, PLB655(2007)  Solve energy conservation (except  )  Clarify relation to statistical model  Keeps features of coalescence: - show a KET scaling of v 2 /n q - show a KET scaling of v 2 /n q - baryon/meson enhancement - baryon/meson enhancement Equilibrium solution  h >>  eq gives Production Absorption  meson Essential property: - Product f(p 1 )* f(p 2 ) of 2 distr. funct. - suppressed when p 1  p 2 is too large

r-p from Fokker Planck still preserve Quark Number Scaling Ravagli et al. PRC79 (2008)  Good quark number scaling except for too large Q value (<300 MeV) (similar to not too large width and or non zero quark mass)  KE T scaling down to low p T V 2 quark # Scaling with Energy Conservation Scattering for q,Q in QGP Including space-momentum correlation

What happens to heavy quarks?

Regeneration is revealed in : - p t spectra - elliptic flow Implication for Quarkonium  Till now we have mainly looked at only J/Y yield, but thanks to coalescence there is a common c-quark collective dynamics with D meson … Greco, Ko, Rapp PLB595(2004) J  coal.

The open issue with the Mach-Cone with G. Torrieri, J. Noronha, M. Gyulassy A first look at the problem in the coalescence model

away near Medium Cone Jet (medium excitation) High p T Parton  Lower p T “Mach Cone”? Properties of the cone:  angle does not depend on p t  ratio of B/M similar to the bulk one at the same pt  Peaks at the same angle for Baryon and Mesons Afaniasev, PRL101 (2008)  1 rad Range of p T is that where coalescence has manifested its features …

We used the Montecarlo simulations At such p T coalescence is expected to play a role … Can it affect the peak structure?! U L =U T =0.3 is the collective velocity in the wave generated by the jet The double peak is not so easily produced in Hydro Hydro simulation Linearized hydro + AdS CFT Quark distribution function before space integration B.Betz,JPG35 Pure E depos. Pure p depos.

Results for mesons Mesons at 2 GeV show a dN/d  with 2 peaks even if they come from quarks at 1 GeV that have only 1 peak The position of the peaks is independent on p T like in experiments Meson p ddN  / Quark pTpT V.G., Torrieri, Noronha,Gyulassy, NPA830(2009)

Meson vs Baryon One may expect a difference between baryon and meson! In the experiment is not observed a difference But indeed coalescence generates a similar shape for both angle and width Why one should expect the same angle? and especially The same depths of the peaks Angle and depth of the signal look very similar.

Why the peak shows up? The peak is created by the locality od coalescence. The two branches of the wave does not talk. Coalescence enhances the peak at each side and then summing up a dip appears. Meson Why baryons=mesons? Correlation should increase, but at p T /3 angular correlations is weaker -> exact compensation and meson/baryon Mach shape are similar. Why two peaks? Why similar shape for Baryon and Meson? quark meson Considering only one side

Take home messages Take home messages (please!)  Hadronization from 2-3 body phase SPACE (p T < 5-6 GeV):  dense medium decrease the role of the vacuum  massive quarks close in phase space  hadrons at p t comes from quarks p t /n (shift of soft scale)  Universal elliptic flow (dynamical quarks “visible”):  carried by quarks  enhanced by coalescence  consistent with  /s =0.1 ?! R.J. Fries, V. Greco, P. Sorensen - Ann. Rev. Part. Sci. 58, 177 (2008) Result are robust against, uncertainty in resonance production, wave function, higher Fock states, energy conservation It’s not a question of twiggling parameters to get a better fit to the data, but there is a physical mechanism that generates relations between R AA (R Cp ) - v 2 for light and heavy quarks + baryon/meson branches hard to get without a coalescence model

More Recent Perspectives More Recent Perspectives Mach-Cone like peaks  Mach-Cone like peaks:  Hard to get but again coalescence can only help … and this is another consistency Role in  /s determination:  Role in  /s determination:  Transport Theory can entail a consistency between QNS and  /s = Heavy Quark interaction in QGP:  Heavy Quark interaction in QGP:  R AA and v 2 (p T ) explained only if coalescence is present  Consistency between D and J/Y spectra: one underlying c

Open Issues  Role of Confinement - V ij (r,T) from lQCD (for heavy quarks) - String Fragm.+ Coalescence+ Indipendent Fragmentation  Statistical Model (RR,Miao-Gao…) - Probability of resonance formation (entropy-energy)  Implementation coupled to Transport equations: - role in of correlation in v 2 scaling particle jet correlation

Role of finite mass - 3D  Importance of 3D phase-space lowering p T  At low p T scaling can be largely broken but dumped by the shape of v 2 (p T )  Lower mass lead to larger breaking of the scaling due to coalescence between quark with large q=p 1 -p 2 2 schematic cases The observed scaling tells that the coalescing quarks have small relative momentum! realistic shape
