1 High p T Physics in Heavy Ion Collisions Rudolph C. Hwa University of Oregon CIAE, Beijing June 13, 2005

2 2 Well studied for 20 years ---- pQCD What was a discovery yesterday is now used for calibration today. Instead of being concerned with 5% discrepancy in pp collisions, there are problems involving factors of 10 differences to understand in nuclear collisions. High p T Physics of Nuclear Collisions at High Energy particle

4 4 Chunbin Yang (HZNU, Wuhan; UO) Rainer Fries (Univ. of Minnesota) Zhiquang Tan (HZNU, Wuhan; UO) Charles Chiu (Univ. of Texas, Austin) Work done in separate collaborations with

5 5 Outline Anomalies at high p T according to the “standard model of hadronization” -- - parton fragmentation The resolution: parton recombination Recombination in fragmentation Shower partons Inclusive distributions at all p T Cronin effect Hadron correlations in jets

6 6 Conventional approach to hadron production at high p T D(z) h q AA Hard scattering near the surface because of energy loss in medium --- jet quenching.

7 7 If hard parton fragments in vacuum, then the fragmentation products should be independent of the medium. h q Particle ratio should depend on the FF D(z) only. The observed data reveal several anomalies according to that picture. D(z)

8 8 Anomaly #1 R p/π  1 Not possible in fragmentation model: R p/π u

9 9 cm energy

10 10 Anomaly #2 in pA or dA collisions k T broadening by multiple scattering in the initial state. Unchallenged for ~30 years. If the medium effect is before fragmentation, then  should be independent of h=  or p Cronin Effect Cronin et al, Phys.Rev.D (1975) p q h A STAR, PHENIX (2003) Cronin et al, Phys.Rev.D (1975)  p >  

11 11 RHIC data from dAu collisions at 200 GeV per NN pair Ratio of central to peripheral collisions: R CP PHENIX and STAR experiments found (2002) Can’t be explained by fragmentation.

12 12 Anomaly # 2 STAR

13 13 Anomaly #3 Azimuthal anisotropy v 2 (p) > v 2 (  ) at p T > 2.5 GeV/c v 2 : coeff. of 2nd harmonic of  distribution PHENIX, PRL 91 (2003)

14 14 Anomaly #4 Forward-backward asymmetry at intermed. p T in d+Au collisions (STAR) B/F

15 15 Forward-backward asymmetry in d+Au collisions Expects more forward particles at high p T than backward particles If initial transverse broadening of parton gives hadrons at high p T, then backward has no broadening forward has more transverse broadening

16 16 Rapidity dependence of R CP in d+Au collisions BRAHMS PRL 93, 242303(2004) R CP < 1 at  =3.2 Central more suppressed than peripheral collisions Interpreted as possible signature of Color Glass Condensate.

17 17 Anomaly #5 Jet structure Hard parton  jet {  (p 1 ) +  (p 2 ) +  (p 3 ) + ···· } trigger particleassociated particles The distribution of the associated particles should be independent of the medium if fragmentation takes place in vacuum.

18 18 Anomaly #5 Jet structure for Au+Au collisions is different from that for p+p collisions pp Fuqiang Wang (STAR) nucl-ex/0404010

19 19 How can recombination solve all those puzzles? Parton distribution (log scale) p p 1 +p 2 pq (recombine)(fragment) hadron momentum higher yieldheavy penalty

21 21 Let’s look inside the black box of fragmentation.  q fragmentation z 1 gluon radiation quark pair creation Although not calculable in pQCD (especially when Q 2 gets low), gluon radiation and quark-pair creation and subsequent hadronization nevertheless take place to form pions and other hadrons.

26 26 Once the shower parton distributions are known, they can be applied to heavy-ion collisions. The recombination of thermal partons with shower partons becomes conceptually unavoidable. D(z) h q AA Conventional approach

38 38 d+Au collisions Pions Hwa & CB Yang, PRL 93, 082302 (2004) No p T broadening by multiple scattering in the initial state. Medium effect is due to thermal (soft)-shower recombination in the final state. soft-soft

39 39 Proton Thermal-shower recombination is negligible. Hwa & Yang, PRC 70, 037901 (2004)

40 40 Nuclear Modification Factor Anomaly #2 because 3q  p, 2q   This is the most important result that validates parton recombination.

41 41 Molnar and Voloshin, PRL 91, 092301 (2003). Parton coalescence implies that v 2 (p T ) scales with the number of constituents STAR data Anomaly #3 Azimuthal anisotropy

42 42 More interesting behavior found in large p T and large p L region. It is natural for parton recombination to result in forward-backward asymmetry Less soft partons in forward (d) direction than backward (Au) direction. Less TS recombination in forward than in backward direction. Anomaly #4 Forward-backward asymmetry

43 43 Hwa, Yang, Fries, PRC 71, 024902 (2005) Forward production in d+Au collisions Underlying physics for hadron production is not changed from backward to forward rapidity. BRAHMS data

44 44 Jet Structure Since TS recombination is more important in Au+Au than in p+p collisions, we expect jets in Au+Au to be different from those in p+p. Consider dihadron correlation in the same jet on the near side. Anomaly #5 Jet structure in Au+Au different from that in p+p collisions

45 45 Correlations 1. Correlation in jets: trigger, associated particle, background subtraction, etc. 2. Two-particle correlation with the two particles treated on equal footing.

68 68 Chiu & Hwa, nucl-th/0505014

69 69 We have not put in any (short- or long-range) correlation by hand. The pedestal arises from the enhanced thermal medium. The peaks in  &  arise from the recombination of enhanced thermal partons with the shower partons in jets with angular spread. Correlation exists among the shower partons, since they belong to the same jet.

71 71 All anomalies at intermediate p T can be understood in terms of recombination of thermal and shower partons Recombination is the hadronization process ---- at all p T. Parton recombination provides a framework to interpret the data on jet correlations. There seems to be no evidence for any exotic correlation outside of shower-shower correlation in a jet.

75 75 Physical reasons for the big dip: (a) central: (ST)(ST) dominates S-S correlation weakened by separate recombination with uncorrelated (T)(T) (b) peripheral: (SS)(SS) dominates SS correlation strengthened by double fragmentation The dip occurs at low p T because at higher p T power-law suppression of  1 (1)  1 (2) results in C 2 (1,2) ~  2 (1,2) > 0
