S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page4 Observables and observables. What are the main requirements for a good observable? -- be sensitive to the physics under study -- be defined at the “theoretical level”, be detector/experiment independent -- have clear physical meaning -- not to be limited in scope, provide new venues for further study Possibilities: - test scaling with N ch, N part, N bin, etc. -Particles “1” and “2” could be of different type (e.g. same/opposite charge), - taken from different rapidity/azimuthal angle regions (e.g. “same-side”, |y 1 -y 2 |>1 correlations as mostly “free” from jet contribution).

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page5 : experimental observations. All data on are STAR preliminary, taken from talks of G. Westwall (STAR) at QM2004 and Nuclear Dynamics WSs ‘04 and ‘05 Smooth dependence both on collision energy and centrality

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page6 Short and long range correlations ISR data. Filled circles – sqrt(s) = 63 GeV “Inclusive” R (  ) ~ 1 -  |  |  (Y) ~ 1 - 4/3  Y, where Y = (  ) max /2 max Blue dotted lines assume the same . Note difference in slopes (red vs blue) – broadening of R (  ) with centrality A way to do it better  study directly as function of y 1 and y 2

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page7 R cc (0)  0.66 : centrality dependence Production via N c clusters (N c ~N part /2) [e.g. independent NN collisions] Data: G. Westfall (STAR), QM2004 At midrapidity, the probability to find a particle is about 60% larger if one particle has been already detected. In a superposition of two independent collisions, the ratio of the probability that in a randomly chosen pair both particles are from the same collision to the probability that two particles are from different collisions is about 1.66

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page8 : centrality dependence Production via N c clusters (N c ~N part /2) [e.g. independent NN collisions] Data: G. Westfall (STAR), QM2004 K. Braune et al, PLB 123 (1983) 467  Can it be due to transverse radial flow?

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page9 “Elementary” NN-collision. Correlation functions. Correlations are due to local charge(s) conservation, resonances, due to fluctuations in number of produced strings, e.g. number of qq-collisions. x y rapidity R cc (0)  0.66 Distribution of “correlated” pairs: Distribution of “associated” particles (2) per “trigger” particle (1) “Probability” to find a “correlated” pair ISR

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page10 Radial flow  mean p t correlations All particles produced in the same NN-collision (qq-string) experience the transverse radial “push” that is (a) in the same direction (leads to correlations in phi) (b) the same in magnitude (  correlations in p t )  Position-momentum correlations caused by transverse expansion “brings” totally new mechanism for momentum correlations, not present in NN-collisions x y rapidity pp collision AA collision In what follows, radial expansion is treated as given. Not necessarily as due to pressure in thermalized matter, could be considered a la “parton wind”; but numerical calculations are done in the blast wave model. Just a few “details”: -Long range rapidity correlations (“bump”- narrow in phi and wide in rapidity, charge independent) -Stronger 2-particle pt correlation in narrow phi bins -Narrowing of the charge balance function ( -- increase in m t  decrease in rapidity separation) [same as in S. Pratt et al, in “late hadronization scenario”] - Charge correlations in phi. Azimuthal Balance function Everything evolving with centrality (radial flow)

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page11 Transverse radial expansion Blast wave parameterization (Schnedermann, Sollfrank, Heinz, PRC 48, 2462 (1993), d 3 n/d 3 p ~ e -E/T ) of the source at freeze-out: Parameters: T-temperature, velocity profile  t  r n STAR Collaboration, PRL 92, (2004) AA collision Note: uniform source density at r < R has been assumed y rapidity x n=1

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page12 Sensitivity to the velocity profile Results for n=0.5 and n=2 are shown Mean p t is almost insensitive to the actual velocity profile. The correlations are. In general, mean p t is sensitive to the first moment of the respective transverse rapidity distribution while the two particle correlation are measuring the second moment.

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page13 Brief comparison to data Possible reasons for discrepancy: - diffusion, thermalization time - spatial source profile (not uniform density in transverse plane, e.g. cylinder shell) n=1 n=0.5

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page14 Initial and freeze-out configurations Final initial Uncertainty: particles are at the same position at the moment of production, but the blast wave parameterization is done at freeze-out Smearing would depend on the - thermalization time (which is supposedly small) - diffusion during the system evolution before freeze-out - non-zero “expansion velocity” in pp Should we take it as a possibility to study all the above effects?

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page15 Rapidity correlations How to disentangle “initial” correlations at the parton production stage and obtained due to the transverse expansion? - Charge dependent and charge independent correlations. - Correlation of conserved charges (Balance Functions). In this case the correlations existed already at the production moment would be modified by radial flow. - Charge independent correlations: particles at large rapidities, initially uncorrelated, become correlated, as all of them are pushed by radial flow in the same direction. Charge Balance function As increases due to the transverse radial flow, the balance function gets narrower. For the BW parameters used above, indeed increases for about 15-20%, but the centrality dependence is somewhat different from what is observed in the narrowing of the Balance Function.

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page16  x  correlations - Charge independent correlations: particles at large rapidities, initially uncorrelated, become correlated, as all of them are pushed by radial flow in the same direction. For those, one needs 2d correlations (rapidity X azimuth) Shown below – hand drawn sketch.   PeripheralCentral

Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page17 In central Au-Au: - jet-like correlation (short range) sits on top of a wide, nearly flat sits on top of a wide, nearly flat correlation in eta. correlation in eta.     d+Au, % Au+Au, 0-5% STAR preliminary 3 < p T (trig.) < 6 GeV/c 2 < p T (asso.) < p T (trig.) Talk by André Mischke (STAR) Armesto, Wiedemann et al., PRL93, (2004)  x  correlations, II Q: How one could distinguish between two scenarios? A: Correlations. Check for charge dependent and charge independent correlations. In “longitudinal flow” scenario everything would widen, in “transverse” flow widening is charge independent, but charge balance function would shrink (similar to lower pt’s)

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page18 Azimuthal correlations Figures are shown for particles from the same NN collision. Dilution factor to be applied! No momentum conservation effects has been included. Those would be important for the charge independent first harmonic correlations. First and second harmonics of the distribution on the left ! - the large values of transverse flow, > 0.25, would contradict “non-flow” estimates in elliptic flow measurements n=1, T=110 MeV

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page19 AA collision. “Single jet tomography”. The plot on the right shows particle azimuthal distribution (integrated over all pt’s) with respect to the boost direction. In order to compare with data it should be also convoluted with jet azimuthal distribution relative to radial direction. In this picture, the transverse momentum of the (same side, large  ) associated particles would be a measure of the space position the hard scattering occurred AA collision

S.A. Voloshin 5 th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of GQP, Kolkata, August 8-12, 2005page20 summary 1.Transverse radial flow leads to strong space-momentum correlation. In combination with space correlations between particles created in the same NN collision, it leads to characteristic two (and many) particle rapidity, transverse momentum, and azimuthal correlations. 2.This phenomenon provides a natural (at present, qualitative) explanation of the centrality dependence of mean p t pseudorapidity/azimuthal angle correlations. It can be further used to study the details of the system equilibration/thermalization and evolution (e.g. thermalization time, velocity profile, etc.) 3.Transverse radial flow “push” of particles created in the same NN collision where hard scattering occurred + jet quenching leads to azimuthal correlations of high pt “trigger” particle with “soft” particles at rather different rapidity. The mean transverse momentum of the associated particles would be a measure of how deep in the system the hard collision occurred. 2-particle transverse momentum correlation : -similar from SPS to full RHIC collision energies - smooth centrality dependence, qualitatively consistent as due to transverse radial expansion
