International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR Motivation & Introduction 1) Particle dependence of R AA /Rcp and v2 from Au+Au collisions is observed. How about RAA/Rcp in dAu? particle type or mass dependence? (R cp for K s, , and ). 2) The Cronin effect has been considered as due to initial parton scattering. Should the Cronin effect be influenced by the final state particle formation dynamics? 3) Transverse momentum production: versus multiplicity m ~1019 MeV/c 2 ; m ~1116 MeV/c2; m Ks ~498 MeV/c2

International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR R cp definition We select three data samples: “Central”: centrality 0-20% “Semi-central”: centrality 20-40% “Peripheral”: centrality 40-100% Then we calculate the ratios Central/Peripheral as function of p T at different rapidities. Rcp = (d 2 N/dp T d ) cent / (d 2 N/dp T d ) peri Many corrections and systematics cancel out.

International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR Rcp of , Ks, , Mesons (Ks, K , ) have the same Rcp for dAu and AuAu collisions Baryons ( , ) have the same Rcp too, but higher than mesons. Recombination/Coalescence model works! Particle production at intermediate p T region is dividing by the particle’s type, not the mass. Recombination/Coalescence model works! They can explain the difference of Rcp between mesons and baryons for both dAu and AuAu. (Z.M.Ko et al., R.C.Hwa et al….) TTTSSS TTT TTS+TSSSSS AuAu 200 GeVdAu 200 GeV STAR: and K* behave like mesons, despite of the large mass: ReComb prediction

International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR Nuclear modification factor R dAu The behavior of the many-body systems we study (A-A or d-A) can be “calibrated” with a “simple system” like p-p. Borrowing from “Cronin effect” studies, we compare particle production in d-A to the scaled production in p-p: R dAu = (d 2 N dAu /dp T d ) / (N coll d 2 N pp /dp T d ) With N coll being the estimated number of binary collisions as d “goes through” the Au nuclei.

International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR RdAu RdAu of is closer to that of p and k than that of p Particle production at intermediate pT region is sorted by the particle’s type, not the mass
22
International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR 1)Measure the productions and for various particles (Ks, ) in dAu collisions 2)Double exponential function can fit the , Ks, and spectra better than others, dN/dy scale linearly with the number of charged particles 3)R dAu and R cp in dAu are grouped into mesons and baryons it indicates that the particle production is dividing by particle type rather than particle mass as predicted by the parton recombination/quark coalescence model. 4)R cp plots show no suppression indicating that the suppression in Au+Au maybe arises from additional effects Summary
