33 Results from RHIC! Energy flow, Particle multiplicity  high energy density Particle production  QCD is QCD is QCD Large flow, species yields  equilibration/thermalization Spectra, flow, jets  Jet quenching Not talking about Bose-Einstein correlations, strangeness enhancement, J/ suppression, balance function, direct photon production, mass shifts, width shifts, etc. Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

34 Energy density of proton and lattice QCD calculations
Expect deconfinement phase transition to occur at an energy density of 1-2 GeV/fm3 Experimental results at RHIC imply 5 GeV/fm3 PHENIX Collaboration, PRL 87 (2001) 4.6 GeV/fm3 Assumes R=size of Au nucleus and To=1fm/c Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

That only determines how far your parts are spread along the path. The “fragmentation region” extent grows with sNN Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

Affects other variables, such as HBT and spectra. Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

42 b (reaction plane) Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

43 Elliptic Flow at 130 GeV Phys. Rev. Lett. 89 222301 (2002)
(PHOBOS : Normalized Paddle Signal) Hydrodynamic limit STAR: PRL86 (2001) 402 PHOBOS preliminary Thanks to M. Kaneta Phys. Rev. Lett (2002) Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

44 (consider velocity and early, self-quenching asymmetry)
Flow vs Pt and  Hydro describes low pt vs. particle mass, fails at high pt and high- (consider velocity and early, self-quenching asymmetry) T. Hirano Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

45 Chemical equilibration and freezeout temperature
M. Kaneta, STAR Collaboration LEP F. Becattini, hep-ph/ Thermal models can describe data VERY well. Thermal model lets us put data on QCD phase diagram RHIC energies appear close to Tc Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

46 Spectra The fun starts when one compares this to pp spectra
0.2<yp <1.4 STAR results, shown at QM02 Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

47 Comparing Au+Au and pp Spectra
_ Comparing Au+Au and pp Spectra Production of high pT particles dominated by hard scattering High pT yield prop. to Ncoll (binary collision scaling) Compare to pp spectra scaled up by Ncoll Violation of Ncoll scaling Jet quenching? Au+Au _ Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

48 Suppression in Hadron Spectra
Show 130 GeV suppression in RAA plot. Shown by T. Peltzmann at QM02 Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

49 Jet-quenching: hard parton interacts with medium, which softens the momentum spectrum in A-A relative to pp Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

50 Peripheral Au+Au data vs. pp+flow
Count tracks around very high pT particle STAR, David Hartke - shown at QM02 Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

51 Central Au+Au data vs. pp+flow
Away side jet disappears!! STAR, David Hartke - shown at QM02 Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

52 Jet-quenching also gives break in flow vs. pT
Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

53 Initial state vs. final state effects
Jet-quenching is a final state effect - “Weisaker-Williams” color field of parton interacting with colored medium. Energy loss is medium-size dependent (radiated wavelengths less than source size) Initial state effect - saturation models color glass condensate (recent review: Iancu, Leonidov, McLerran, hep-ph/ ) can also qualitatively explain some features of the data Current d-Au run will help untangle this mess! Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

54 RHIC/experiments running very well
Showed you too much - I apologize Showed you too little - I apologize What are the lessons? RHIC/experiments running very well Up till now … characterization and refinement of models Physics Club, Yale University May 9, 2003

55 Hot, dense, opaque medium is formed
Energy density above lattice predictions for deconfined state Local thermal equilibrium achieved Full 3-d structure away from mid-rapidity not yet understood Interesting signals being pursued … jet-quenching? Is it a duck? Perhaps standing on the precipice of a claim/discovery Remains to be seen if systematic study and pursuit of the surprises leads to anything beyond the duck!
