7 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai7 Recombination: beyond the Valence Quarks Simplified approximation: ideal NCO due to recombination of massive valence quarks Gluon degrees of freedom as hidden constituents provide for deviations: v 2 /n is larger for meson than baryon! B. Müller, R. Fries, S Bass, Phys. Lett. B618, 77-83 (2005)

8 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai8 All particles originate from a common flow field Scaling is observed over extended range of KE T Kinetic Energy Scaling Pressure gradients converting work into kinetic energy PHENIX, nucl-ex/0608033 What is the scaling variable?

9 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai9 p T vs. KE T Scaling STAR How is this observation accommodated the recombination approach? KE T /n seems to work better than p T /n with the constituent quark scaling J. Jia1 and C. Zhang, hep-ph/0608187

10 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai10 Scaling in Transport Models Hadron-string transport models reproduce the NCQ scaling qualitatively ( The absolute values remain problematic) Is the NCO scaling a unique feature of the recombination/coalescence models? Y. Lu et al., JoP. G 32 1121 (2006)

16 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai16 The Jet Factor S. Blyth, this Quark Matter Problems for pQCD sector: Large baryon/meson ratio Significant v 2 (from jet quenching?) Similar E-loss for q- and g-jets In ReCo composition is different for different particle species Could it be “soft-hard” recombination? Look in the jets! Details of Soft/Hard cocktail are extremely significant!

17 17 1.0 < p T <1.3 GeV/c 2-particle Correlations Baryons and mesons both have jet-like partner particles Trigger: baryon/meson h-trigger: baryon production is enhanced, particularly on away side Baryon vs. meson triggers: lower associated jet yield Recombination models: Modified correlation is expected (SS  TS) Quantitative predictions for , p, , K ratios and hadron correlations at high p T Associate: baryon/meson 1.0 < p T <1.3 GeV/c J. Bielcikova, HP 2006 W. Holzmann, WWND 2006

18 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai18 Correlations in Recombination p T Assoc. (GeV/c) Near-side Yields Ratio R. Hwa, Z. Tan: nucl-th/0503060 ─ ReCo J. Bielcikova, this Quark Matter Two outstanding issues: 2.Multi-strange hadron correlations 1.Long range  η correlations are not accounted for Baryon enhancement in the ridge Qualitative agreement with Recombination predictions

19 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai19 Summary A great variety of new experimental results on identified hadrons The small subset of those presented in this talk was focused on striking features of identified measurements: Hadronization and/or jet-medium interactions result in baryon enhancement, baryon-meson splitting in the intermediate p T sector, complex systematic at high p T Elliptic flow is experienced by all hadrons (including strange and multi- strange), hydro-like at low-p T, NCO scaling at intermediate p T Di-hadron correlations show jet structures for all hadrons studied, with indications of jet-induced baryon enhancements Mechanisms of jet-medium interactions and hadronization are the keys to the understanding of the matter created PID measurements hold those keys!

Xu, nucl-ex/0610035 New physics?

22 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai22 Pbar/p ratio: model X.N. Wang: PRC58(2321)1998. PID spectra, centrality dependence of pbar/p and pbar/  ratios, address the color charge dependence of energy loss  To further understand how the gluon jet/quark jet interact with the medium created in Au+Au. collisions.

23 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai23 Pbar/p ratio: data 1.  - /  + are consistent with flat at unity in all p T, no significant centrality dependence. 2. pbar/p ratio: no significant centrality dependence, not consistent with the jet quenching prediction ( X.N. Wang, PRC 58 (2321) 1998). STAR Preliminary

24 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai24 –In the NLO calculation that best describes p+p data, significant difference in the gluon contribution between proton and pion spectra –Yet, no significant difference in suppression: no difference between gluon and quark energy loss? Energy Loss: q vs. g

25 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai25 Why elliptic flow? Origin of Flow Mass ordering at low p T : hydro with early thermalization (Multi-)strange hadron v 2 hints the partonic origin of collectivity Quark content determines v 2 Simplistic hadronization model : v 2 q = v 2 h (p T / n )/ n PRC (72), 014904 (2005) Above p T ~2 GeV/c two groups of hadrons:  , K 0 s, K , p, Λ, ,  Sensitive to early evolution

27 Olga BarannikovaQuark Matter 2006, Shanghai27 PHENIX PID Correlations W. Holzmann WWND 2006  Away side baryon/meson ratio ~2x larger than on near side  Centrality dependent trend of baryon/meson ratio observed  Qualitatively similar to ratio of singles distribution from PHENIX.  Particle species dependent jet modification
