Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, √ s dependence: Nch & ET 30 dNch/d  /(0.5*Npart) ~ x RHIC 1.9 x pp (NSD) at 2.36 TeV growth with √s faster in AA than pp dET/d  /(0.5*Npart) ~ 9 in 0-5% Also increase of Npart (353 → 383) → 2.7 x RHIC for dET/d  (consistent with ~20% increase of, and expectations from spectra) Grows with power of CM energy faster than simple logarithmic scaling extrapolated from lower energy Plot: arXiv:

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, Transverse Energy E T had from charged hadrons directly measured by the tracking detectors ftotal from MC to convert into total ET From RHIC to LHC ~2.5 increase in dET/d  / (0.5*Npart) Energy density (Bjorken)  ~ 15 GeV/(fm2c) RHIC:  =5.4±0.6 GeV/(fm2c) Centrality dependence similar to RHIC (PHENIX) PRC71: (2005) PRC70: (2004) (GeV)

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, dET/d  Also for transverse energy: Approx. same centrality dependence at 7.7 GeV as at 2.76 TeV! Collision energy

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, dNch/d  N.B.: Approx. same centrality dependence at 7.7 GeV as at 2.76 TeV! [note: no RHIC average here, just PHENIX..]

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, ET/Nch Consistent behavior for ET and Nch - Both increase with energy Both show steady rise from peripheral to central ET/Nch ~ independent of centrality ET/Nch increases with energy PRC71:034908,2005 PRC70:054907,2004

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, Conclusions Energy distribution in an event:  NOT 1/3 neutral!...but hits your detector as ~1/3 neutral Measurements of E T : tracking only measurements highly accurate! Several energy-independent trends

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, Calculation from spectra Use spectra data and use Blast wave fits to extrapolate to higher and lower p T Three assumptions E T n =E T p E T `n =E T `p K 0 L =K 0 S Then, neglecting pseudorapidity dependence and assuming that the correction is the same for 900 GeV, 2.76 TeV, and 7 TeV: Everything else is negligible

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, What does the EMCal measure? Note that this gets the fraction from kaons wrong. The fraction from kaons is actually about 10% of what we measure. Signal is actually ~30%.

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, Kaon deposits There are several kaon decays into pi0's and pi0's decay mostly into photons These will (mostly) not be matched to tracks Simulations are unreliable because of how far off simulations are for strange particles

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, Kaons – measured vs simulation

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, E T em Geometric acceptance, not including dead channels efficiency x acceptance within geometric acceptance of detector ~1% Correction for (anti)neutron deposits in calorimeter ~1.5-5% Correction for deposits by particles from secondary interactions <4 <5% Sum over clusters Correction for minimum energy threshold ~6% Correction for nonlinearity of detector response ~0.5% All energy deposited by K 0 S, K 0 L, K ±, including decays like K 0 S →π 0 π 0 →γγγγ <3% Correction for other charged hadron deposits in calorimeter ~10-20% Data driven Input from data Contributions to final E T em systematic error

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, E T had Correction for the geometric acceptance – 1, with acceptance due to sector boundaries, etc. rolled into the track efficiency Correction for the low p T cut off in the acceptance Correction for neutral hadrons included in the definition but not measured well: K 0 S, Λ, ` Λ, K 0 L, n,`n Not trying to measure K 0 S, Λ, ` Λ in TPC – apply DCA cut to eliminate, correct for missing energy Correction for background not included in definition (e ∓ ) or not measured easily event-by-event (K 0 S, Λ, ` Λ ) Correction for π, K, p not identified Correction for tracking efficiency Definition of energy to mimic the behavior of a calorimeter

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, From RHIC to LHC PHOBOS, Nucl. Phys. A747, 28 (2003) Pre-RHIC theoretical predictions: Seems straightforward to extrapolate to LHC, right..?

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, First LHC HI Results: Charged Particle Multiplicity 5% most central events: dNch/d  = 1584 ±4(stat)±76(sys) Predictions more spread around result (on high side of expectations) than at start of RHIC Excellent agreement also between LHC experiments! Pb-Pb(√sNN= 2.76 TeV) → 1.9 x p-p(√sNN= 2.36 TeV) → nuclear amplification! → 2.1 x RHIC (Au-Au√sNN= 0.2 TeV) Plot: arXiv:

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, Summary The bulk properties of the system show a smooth transition throughout RHIC energy range and on to LHC energies LHC multiplicity (many predictions) and transverse energy (fewer comparisons) values higher than many predictions based on RHIC data Centrality dependence very similar from lowest RHIC to highest LHC √s (PHENIX & ALICE): “just” rapidity distribution narrowing/geometry?

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, Multiplicity vs centrality From RHIC to LHC dNch/d  ~1600 for 0- 5%: ~2.1 increase Similar centrality dependence at 0.2 and 2.76 TeV for Npart>100 (RHIC average) Good “matching” to the pp point Measurement based on tracklet reconstruction in SPD |  |<0.5 Interpolations between 2.36 and 7 TeV pp PRL106, (2011) PRC71, (2005) PRC83, (2011) LHC scale RHIC scale

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, Mid-rapidity dNch/d  vs centrality Multiplicity scaling with centrality: Stronger than Npart Different possible scalings (2 component, power laws) reproduce data Glauber fits not sensitive to choice of parameterization Scaling similar to RHIC: Contribution of hard processes (Ncoll scaling) the same as at lower energies..? Just geometry? Plot: arXiv:

Christine Nattrass (UTK), Rutgers, March 23, Extended longitudinal scaling Yields at high rapidity are energy- independent, when viewed in rest- frame of one of colliding nuclei longitudinal scaling could be present also for Pb+Pb at 2.76 TeV Works also for dN/d  because y≈  + ln (pT/mT) ≈  BRAHMS data scaled by Npart(ALICE)/Npart(BRAHMS)  -ybeam > -3: extrapolations (double-Gaussian, linear) BRAHMS PRL 88:202301,2001
