2 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

Multiplicity FTPC East in d+Au collisions 40-100% 20-40% 0-20% Three Multiplicity Bins are defined by the Nch per event in FTPC East After cut: ~ 10 Million events STAR Preliminary

7 International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR   K + K - Branching Ratio = 0.49 Both K+ and K- come from the same event Signal K+ and K- come from different event Background Mixed event is supposed to contain everything of significance to the correlation analysis except the correlation itself. Calculate the invariant mass of every possible K + K - pairs and accumulate the signal to reconstruct  in each (y, pt) bin. Event Mixing Method

STAR Preliminary

9 International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR Acceptance and Efficiency 4 Embedding method:  Generate tracks with certain p T and rapidity distribution. (SimTrack)  Generate Monte-Carlo tracks in STAR geometry (MCTrack) Acceptance =  TPC response simulator generates hits  Monte-Carlo hits are embedded in the real data  Reconstruct the “embedded events” using the same chain as real data production (RecTrack)  Tracking efficiency extraction Efficiency =  Total correction factor Correction = Acceptance * Efficiency*Branching Ratio

10 International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR Efficiency Correction of  Ks and   The efficiency increases with Pt and becomes flat  Weak multiplicity dependence. The difference of efficiency correction between different centrality bins is small than the error bars. STAR Preliminary

11 International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR  Spectra for MinBias Phi production in dAu  exp fit covering low pt end and power-law fit covering high pt region.  Double exponential fit can reproduce the experimental data better than other two funtions. Comparison of different Fits Double exponential fit: T1: ~300MeV; T2: 1.0~1.5GeV; STAR Preliminary

12 International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR  production in AuAu and pp  200 GeV  meson production from both AuAu and pp collisions are analysed by Jingguo Ma.  200 GeV  meson production from dAu is necessary for further understanding:   production mechanism  particle dependence of nuclear modification factor

13 International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR Spectra and fits p T : 0.4 – 6 GeV/c. With efficiency correction (including vertex efficiency). Statistical errors only. cross point: pT~(2~4)GeV/c2. Recombination model may fit spectra well … TT(low pt)+TS(middle pt)+SS(high pt)  double exp fit STAR Preliminary

15 International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR Spectra comparison Different measurements are consistent within STAR! From Camelia

16 International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR dN/dy vs. , Ks, ,  increase with in dAu and AuAu collisions. dAu Minbias STAR Preliminary

17 International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR vs. :  shows no dependence of within error bar, but  and  are different. dAu Minbias STAR Preliminary

18 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.

19 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

20 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.

21 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

24 International CCAST Workshop on QCD & RHIC Physics, Aug. 13, 2004 STAR From Fragmentation to Recombination With more partons around: multiple parton fragmentation (higher twist) If phase space is filled with partons, recombine/coalesce them into hadrons. Use just the lowest Fock state, i.e. valence quarks: qqq  B qq  M
