1 Future of Heavy Ion Collisions @ RHIC Barbara Jacak February 16, 2013 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In Heavy Ion Collisions

2 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC QGP phase quark and gluon degrees of freedom QGP Phase Boundary kinetic freeze-out lumpy initial energy density distributions and correlations of produced particles From HIC to plasma to detected particles 2

3 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC We need to understand* l Dynamical Evolution RHIC & LHC together: a consistent picture multiplicities, system size & lifetimes as a function of √s l QGP properties l Thermalization mechanism l Initial conditions * Working backwards 3 Blast Wave v 2 changes @ 11.5 GeV

4 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC Open questions driving our field l What are the properties of the QGP? How perfect is the near-perfect liquid? Are there novel symmetry properties? Is there a characteristic color screening length? What is it? At what scales is the coupling strong? Are there quasiparticles in the medium? What are they? l How does the strongly coupled plasma emerge? What is the mechanism for parton-plasma interactions? Is there evidence for the onset of deconfinement and/or the QCD critical point? l How does cold nuclear matter behave? Is there evidence for saturation of the gluon density? How do initial state fluctuations affect observables? 4

5 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC QGP properties 5

6 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC 6 In context of other strongly coupled matter Quark gluon plasma is like other systems with strong coupling - all flow and exhibit phase transitions Cold atoms: coldest & hottest matter on earth are alike! Dusty plasmas & warm, dense plasmas have liquid and even crystalline phases Strongly correlated condensed matter: liquid crystal phases and superconductors In all these cases have a competition: Attractive forces  repulsive force or kinetic energy High T c superconductors: magnetic vs. potential energy Result: many-body interactions, not pairwise!

7 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC Where is QGP on the viscosity map? Why? 7 l How perfect is the near-perfect liquid? l At what scales is the coupling strong? l Are there quasiparticles in the medium? What are they?

8 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC Quantify  /s precisely At RHIC: l Tailor initial shapes using U+U and asymmetric systems like Cu+Au Pick apart fluctuations from geometry Vary beam energy: minimum  /s @ T c ? 8

9 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC Novel symmetry properties?  Improve statistics with U+U & very central collisions  Turn down √s to see how effects turn off 9

10 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC Varying beams a key feature of RHIC 10 ?

11 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC Scales where coupling is strong? l Investigate by changing energy & mass of the probe l Study as a function of plasma temperature Scan RHIC beam energy in the higher E (QGP) side Combine RHIC and LHC data for maximum lever arm l Separate plasma effects from initial geometry effects with different beam combinations & centrality selection 11 Hmm, this sounds like condensed matter physics Learn the properties by “pumping and probing” QGP

12 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC RHIC + LHC together provide the knobs 12 T  coupling Probe  length scale probe virtuality 1/

13 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC What’s inside the QGP?* l Do quasiparticles exist? At what scale? l Probe using parton-medium interactions Also shed light on thermalization mechanisms * One of the hot topics at this workshop! 13

14 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC Kovtun, Son, Starinets 2004 14 Currently a raging debate Just WHAT is interacting in the hot dense plasma? Individual gluons? Pure fields? Multi-gluons continuously splitting & re-forming? i.e. composite quasiparticles (in classical liquids voids fill this role) Has particles! Excitations?? l Answer must be scale dependent! Tools: Energy loss vs. M and E of probe parton l Affects transport of momentum, energy & particles i.e. Viscosity, speed of sound, diffusion

15 Prospects & Challenges for Future Experiments In HIC What’s inside? “throw rocks at it” 15 Diffusion, collisional energy loss… Collisions with what? c vs. b to help resolve heavy quarks
