Craig Ogilvie, Iowa State University On behalf of the PHENIX Collaboration Heavy flavor systematics from PHENIX Sep 27, 2013 1 Complexity of interpreting data from HI collisions Use systematics: spectra, elliptic flow,… Present d+Au, Cu+Cu, excitation function,… Which leads to the complexity of interpreting d+Au… cogilvie@iastate.edu

Complexity of d(p)+A collisions Sep 27, 2013 cogilvie@iastate.edu 2 Nuclear structure functions Shadowing, saturation at low-x Anti-shadowing at moderate, high-x Initial state scattering Often modeled as increase in effective kT Likely largest impact at RHIC where spectra are softer Possible collective effects Barbara Jacak’s talk on Wed Final state energy-loss, absorption,…. Centrality classification

CNM I: d+Au heavy-flavor at 200 GeV Sep 27, 2013 cogilvie@iastate.edu 3 Non-photonic e, from heavy-flavor decays Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 242301 (2012), Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 242301 (2012) Significant enhancement at moderate p T

CNM IV: Forward, backward from HF decay Sep 27, 2013 cogilvie@iastate.edu 5 e Forward rapidity suppressed Likely shadowing at low-x in Au Backward rapidity enhanced anti-shadowing at higher x in Au? or increase in due to initial scattering?

R dA P T (GeV/c) CNM II: d+Au heavy-flavor at 200 GeV Sep 27, 2013 cogilvie@iastate.edu 7 Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 242301 (2012) Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 242301 (2012) Does increase have larger impact when p+p spectrum is soft? spectra = convolution of scattering + fragmentation Or recombination effects in hadronization? Or collective? Or… Opportunity for theory impact

Example with 0 R dA Sep 27, 2013 cogilvie@iastate.edu 8 0 calc from I. Vitev Reasonable reproduction of 0 Nuclear structure function Cronin Large initial state multiple- scattering Final state E loss Need calculations for heavy- flavor R dA Vitev et al., PRD 74 (2006) Phys.Lett. B718 (2012) 482-487

J/ CNM Sep 27, 2013 9 y EPS09 nuclear structure functions plus breakup Reasonable reproduction, misses centrality dependence BUT, charm is enhanced at moderate p T (non-photonic electrons R dA >1) 1)Do these calculations reproduce open charm R dA >1 ? 2)If not, then more effective suppression needed for J/ PRL 107, 142301 (2011)

d+Au to Cu+Cu to Au+Au Sep 27, 2013 cogilvie@iastate.edu 14 Interplay of two effects CNM increases yield, competes with energy-loss suppression
15
d+Au to Cu+Cu to Au+Au Sep 27, 2013 cogilvie@iastate.edu 15 Higher pT CNM increases yield, stronger energy-loss suppression

Need R dA at lower-beam energy Sep 27, 2013 cogilvie@iastate.edu 18 Not in current RHIC running plan :( How does R dA change from 200 GeV to 62 GeV Three beam energies (62, 200 GeV, LHC) constrains interplay of structure function, initial state scattering R dA calculations at 62 GeV R dA ~ 2 at 62 GeV R dA ~ 1.2 at 200 GeV A. Accardi Eur. Phys. J. C 43, 121–125 (2005)
19
Non-photonic electrons Au+Au 62 GeV Sep 27, 2013 19 Lower beam energy changes interplay of two effects Stronger CNM competing with weaker energy-loss Forthcoming PHENIX publication spectra with smaller systematics comparison with p+p, R AA etc. If your model reproduces 200 GeV and 2.76 TeV heavy flavor R AA Final call for 62 GeV HF R AA prediction

Physics Goal Sep 27, 2013 cogilvie@iastate.edu 27 Energy-loss heavy-flavor understand nature of sQGP Progress on understanding many details If a model reproduces a broad range of data Can we infer any characteristics of QGP? Either direct via a parameter of model Diffusion parameter Or run same dynamical model in a “box”, e.g. radiation + collision E loss Infer effective transport parameters Which characteristics of sQGP are accessible this way and can we communicate this to our fellow physicists ? Maybe too many unsettled aspects yet

Summary Sep 27, 2013 cogilvie@iastate.edu 28 Complexity of interpreting d+Au Levers: centrality, A, y, s, change impact of Structure function, initial state scattering, e-loss,… HF R dA enhancement up to factor of 1.5 Call for model calculations Is dAu HF a better baseline for R AA HF and dAu J/ production?? Complexity of interpreting data from HI collisions Cu+Cu HF yields smoothly connects dAu to Au+Au Competition between enhancement + suppression Change this competition Au+Au HF data @ 62 GeV, need dAu running at 62 GeV
