2 2 Mar. 26 SQM2006 J.H. Lee (BNL)  Short Introduction  BRAHMS in “1 page”  What have we learned so far? Selected Published + Preliminary Results  Outlook/Summary

3 3 Mar. 26 SQM2006 J.H. Lee (BNL) Forward Physics in R.H.I. Collisions: Mapping Space-time Evolution Forward Physics in R.H.I. Collisions: Mapping Space-time Evolution Formation of Hot Matter, QGP? - Identifying and Characterizing the Hot Matter - How does the system extend/develop? Transverse and longitudinal dynamics - Strong constraints for theoretical modeling/interpretation Initial Conditions/Partonic Dynamics: High-p T vs y Collective Hydro-dynamics: Flow (radial and elliptic) vs y: “Viscometer” Thermodynamic and freeze-out properties: Temperatures, Ratios, HBT vs y Baryon Transport: Net-baryon vs y Bulk Properties: multiplicity, dN/dy

13 13 Mar. 26 SQM2006 J.H. Lee (BNL) Flowing at Forward v2 for pion Understanding missing low-pt fraction is important for integrated v2 from FS Kaon and proton v2 will come: Statistically Challenging v2(y~0) ~ v2(y~3) for 0.5<p T <2 GeV/c

14 14 Mar. 26 SQM2006 J.H. Lee (BNL)  At the RHIC energies, hard scattering processes at high-p T become important  Partons are expected to loose energy in the dense matter  Different rapidities provide different densities of the medium: Sensitive to the dynamics  “Dialing” initial condition channel  Largest medium effect at mid- rapidity (“Scale” to multiplicity)?  Rapidity dependent high-p T suppression factors: provide information on dynamical medium effect at fixed time y~0 high-y Rapidity Dependent High-p T Measurement BRAHMS NA49 AGS
