2 Setting the Stage
3 A big bang view of our beginning Freedom g(t) Early Universe (~10 10 years ago) ~10-6 s Quark Gluon Plasma c c c c Color Screening Color Screening The Early Universe, Kolb and Turner ~10-4 s hadrons Degrees of c c Color Screening c c Color Screening QCD Phase Transition ~10 2 s nuclei Original Slide: R. Seto
4 So Quarks = a Relevant DoF of the Early Universe Lets Study Them We can find the quarks inside the nucleus. Lets free them! Two immediate problems: 1. If you try to break a proton apart, you just get a second particle made up of 2 quarks! Quarks are not Free. e-p graphics: Electron Electron 2. If you measure the mass of the quarks inside the proton, you only account for a fraction of the nucleon mass. Something Strange with Mass
5 1. Why No Free Quarks Today? QCD: Confinement (& asymptotic freedom) Visualization of QCD by Derek Leinweber Centre for the Subatomic Structure of Matter (CSSM) and Department of Physics, University of Adelaide, 5005 Australia relat tive strength asymptotic freedom Separation of quarks varies from fm to 2.25 fm (~1.3x diameter of proton) distance energy density, temperature
6 Running Coupling Constant experimental data and perturbative QCD (pqcd) calculation M. Schmelling hep-ex/ Energy Density, Temperature Distance
7 2. What is Going on with Quark Masses? QCD: The Properties of our cold Vacuum Visualization of QCD: by Derek Leinweber (same references as earlier slide) Action Density (~Energy Density) Topological Charge Density (measure of winding of gluon field lines) Volume 2.4x2.4x3.6 fm 3 (Can hold a couple of protons) Contrary to the concept of an empty vacuum, QCD induces chromo-electric and chromo-magnetic fields throughout spacetime in its lowest energy state. - D. Leinweber
8 QCD Vacuum is a Condensate! The reason why hadrons are so heavy. T = 0 T > 0 (but < T c ) uu uu dd dd T > T c uu Inspiration/ideas from Krishna Rajagopal dd
9 QCD and The Masses of Particles Comparison of the hadronic spectrum with first-principles calculations from QCD, using techniques of lattice guage theory. Mass (GeV/c 2 ) R. Burkhalter,hep-lat/ Nucleons (protons +neutrons) Measured Mass ~0.9 GeV/c 2 confinement and chiral symmetry breaking [i.e. the QCD condensate] are simply true facts about the solution of QCD, that emerge by direct calculation F. Wilczek
10 Back to Einstein Idea From: F. Wilczek s Nobel Prize Lecture E = mc 2 Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon its Energy Content? m = E c 2 By A. Einstein September 27, 1905 The mass of a body is a measure of its energy-content; It is not impossible that with bodies whose energy-content is variable to a high degree the theory may be successfully put to the test. A. Einstein (translated from the German of his 1905 paper).
11 Origin of (Our) Mass Original Slide: R. Seto Freedom The steps represent energy freezing into mass The Early Universe, Kolb and Turner Degrees of Mass (MeV) QCD Mass Higgs Mass Mass (MeV) QCD Mass Higgs Mass 10 1 u d s c b t 1 u d
12 Forward to Today Current (or naked ) Quarks Figure and quote From B. Muller; nucl-th/ Mass u,d = 5-10 MeV generated by Higgs condensate. Mas ss (MeV) Constituent Quarks Mass u,d ~ 300 MeV generated by QCD condensate. Because of the energy scales involved, only the QCD Vacuum is amenable to modification at energies accessible with present technologies.
13 Melting the QCD Vacuum Condensate The QCD condensate melts (Chiral Symmetry is restored) Energy Density (&DoFs s) pion gas Temperature quark-gluon plasma Temperature Deconfinement Critical melting temperature, T c
14 Lattice QCD at Finite Temperature F. Karsch, hep-ph/ A new form of matter (a Quark Gluon Plasma ) ~degrees of freedom (µ B =0) Critical Temperature, T C ~ 170 MeV Critical Energy Density, ε C ~ 1 GeV/fm 3 Normal cold matter energy density ~0.16 GeV/fm 3
15 How Much Heat is Needed? T C ~ 170 MeV 1eV corresponds to an energy kt (where T~11,600 K). Assume transition at about 170 MeV (~1.2 x pion mass), 170E6*11600 = 1.7E8*1.16E4 ~2E12 Quark-Gluon plasma: Need ~2 trillion degrees K 2 x K (or o C) Too much heat to think about creating in a traditional sense.
16 How to Get this Much Heat? Collide heavy nuclei at relativistic speeds (e.g c at s NN = 200 GeV) We believe these conditions will reach the necessary temperature and pressures (energy-density) to create conditions in which the QGP could exist.
17 Laying the foundations: Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions What do we think we know? Focus on s NN =200 GeV Au+Au
18 The relevant energy density is above the critical value (ε c ~1 GeV/fm 3 ) Central (head-on) Collision (for 200 GeV Au+Au) From: B.B. Back Lake Lousie 2006 Bjorken R ~ r 0 A 1/3 cτ 0 PHOBOS: PRL 91, (2003) Create 5000 Charged Particles Yield perpendicular to collision axis: Equilibrated energy density ε 0 > 4 GeV/fm 3
19 We are creating a state of matter that is approaching baryon-freedom A+A central collisions (measured near midrapidity) (Similar to the early Universe) - + <K >/<K > E917/E866 (AGS) PHOBOS: Nucl. Phys. A 757, 28 (2005) <K >/<K > NA44 (SPS) - + <K >/<K > NA49 (SPS) Anti-Particle to Particle Ratios <K >/<K > PHOBOS (RHIC) <p>/<p> E866 (AGS) <p>/<p> NA44 (SPS) <p>/<p> NA49 (SPS) <p>/<p> PHOBOS (RHIC) AGS SPS K /K + p/p RHIC s NN (GeV) Approaching equal production of matter and anti-matter as the collision energy increases. (i.e. Baryon-Free )
20 The State of Matter appears to exhibit strong collective expansion characteristics PHENIX - Phys. Rev. C 69, (2004) Observation only to motivate next slide p = mv Common Expansion Velocity?
21 Rapid hydrodynamic expansion Fit spectra with hydrodynamically motivated blast waves to gain insight into the dynamics of the collision. * Assumptions include particle freeze-out at a common temperature. * Seven fit parameters. Retiere and Lisa nucl-th/ Central Mid-central Peripheral Can describe the data with a common transverse flow velocity. This velocity is large <Β T >~0.5c Note: Other analyses show D. a Hofman centrality (UIC) dependence of <B T >
22 State of Matter appears strongly interacting Animation of HI Collision: (Similar to a fluid ) Note: is not relativistic i.e no Lorentz contraction Animation by Jeffrey Mitchell (Brookhaven National Laboratory)
23 State of Matter appears strongly interacting dn d (Similar to a fluid ) ( 2φ ) v2 ( p T )cos + φ φ elliptic flow 2v 2 Experiment finds a clear v 2 signal If system was freely streaming the spatial anisotropy would be lost
24 We call the measurement of v 2 Elliptic Flow Increasingly peripheral elliptic flow Larger eccentricy (and v 2 ) 0-10% = central collisions 2v 2 Smaller eccentricy (and v 2 ) Magnitude of v 2 signal correlates with overlap eccentricity
25 State of Matter appears strongly interacting (Similar to a fluid ) Once again, in Pictures, what we see in experiment Initial spatial anisotropy converted into momentum anisotropy (think of pressure gradients ) Efficiency of conversion depends on the properties of the medium In particular, the conversion efficiency depends on viscosity Pictures from: M. Gehm, et al., Univ. Science of 298 Virginia 2179 (2002)
26 The medium ( fluid ) appears to have low viscosity Same phenomena observed in gases of strongly interacting atoms (Li6) From R. Seto M. Gehm, et al Science (2002) weakly coupled finite viscosity strongly coupled viscosity=0 The RHIC fluid behaves like this, that is, viscocity~0
27 Strongly interacting medium also appears to affect yields of high momentum particles Peripheral Mid-Central Central R AA = N Yield binary AuAu AuAu Yield pp AA(p T ) R A (h + +h - )/2 π 0 Binary collision expectation Phenix: Phys.Rev. C69 (2004) See a strong suppression of high p T yields in AuAu Central Collisions
28 Energy Loss in a Strongly Interacting Medium. V. Greene QM 2005 Binary collision expectation Energy loss models can account for suppression at p T >3 GeV/c
29 So what we think we know is: Relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC create a medium that: has an energy density above critical value needed to melt the normal QCD vacuum equilibrates very quickly is close to being baryon-free is fluid-like: strongly interacting, collective in behavior, posses low viscosity (also called a perfect fluid ) Large energy loss for high momentum particles The popular name is the sqgp: Strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma
30 Now to more recent results Relevant degrees-of-freedom
31 Look again at a single heavy ion collision nuclei crossing times extremely fast RHIC: ~0.13 fm/c SPS: ~1.6 fm/c AGS: ~5.3 fm/c
32 Two snapshots of colliding nuclei at RHIC nuclei crossing times extremely fast RHIC: ~0.13 fm/c SPS: ~1.6 fm/c AGS: ~5.3 fm/c Of course, this one is our actual measurement
33 We saw before: initial collision geometry matters Elliptic Flow Initial overlap eccentricity Reaction Plane Impact Parameter b ψ 0
34 We saw before: initial collision geometry matters Elliptic Flow Initial overlap eccentricity Visible in final measured particle azimuthal angular distributions Impact Parameter b Reaction Plane ψ 0
35 Well known: initial collision geometry matters Elliptic Flow Initial overlap eccentricity Visible in final measured particle azimuthal angular distributions Reaction Plane Impact Parameter b ψ 0 Initial Eccentricity ε v 2 Final Particle Distributions To first order: initial collision geometry drives magnitude of v 2 (of course, the D. Hofman density (UIC) also matters)
36 Is our first RHIC snapshot in focus? Our BUT, understanding what if we focus of flow on: as a hydrodynamical the spatial distribution expansion of the of a interaction perfect fluid, points implies of participating smooth surfaces right? nucleons? Au+Au Ψ 0 b Thus the eccentricity of the overlap region (which drives flow) is fixed relative to the impact vector b <ε std > standard eccentricity
37 Is our first RHIC snapshot in focus? If we focus on: the spatial distribution of the interaction points of participating nucleons Au+Au for the same b, these interaction points will vary from event-to-event Au+Au Ψ 0 b b
38 Is our first RHIC snapshot in focus? If we focus on: the spatial distribution of the interaction points of participating nucleons for the same b, these interaction points will vary from event-to-event Au+Au Au+Au Ψ 0 Ψ 0 b If these are relevant DoF s, then the relevant eccentricity for elliptic flow also varies event-by-event for the same b b <ε part > participant eccentricity
39 To summarize If interaction points of participating nucleons are relevant DoF s Au+Au Can study with smaller systems Cu+Cu Same impact parameter, b b b Interaction points trace out overlap eccentricity, but also include: Finite number fluctuations i.e. є part є std Correlations ( takes two to tango TM ) VERY different eccentricity for standard versus participants on an event-by-event basis. TM P. Steinberg, RHIC/AGS Users Meeting 2007
40 Quantify the difference between standard and participant calculations of eccentricity PHOBOS Monte Carlo Glauber Calculation 200 GeV <ε part > participant nucleons event-by-event calculation <ε std > standard calculation Effect is increasingly important for smaller systems
41 Data: average v 2 in Cu+Cu and Au+Au Cu+Cu PRL98, (2007) Au+Au: PRC (R) If eccentricity determines magnitude of v 2 then v 2 /ε should be independent of size of colliding system
42 Average v 2 /ε in Cu+Cu and Au+Au Standard Eccentricity Participant Eccentricity Cu+Cu 200 GeV 200 GeV Cu+Cu Au+Au Au+Au PRL98, (2007) PRL98, (2007) unifies average v 2 in Cu+Cu and Au+Au
43 Scaling holds for p T and η Au+Au and Cu+Cu at matched N part Transverse momentum, p T Pseudorapidity, η Consequence: this implies that the initial event-by-event participant collision geometry appears relevant. AND the participant collision geometry fluctuates event-by-event
44 Fluctuations in participant eccentricity What magnitude of fluctuations are expected? Quantify with σ(ε part )/<ε part > Expect large dynamical fluctuation in the participant eccentricity
45 Current Analysis: event-by-event v 2 measurement Utilize Full Phase space coverage of PHOBOS ( η <5.4, φ~2π). 200 GeV Au+Au Analysis of: B. Alver Detailed modeling of detector response, statistical fluctuations and multiplicity dependence. Method is described in arxiv:nucl-ex/ Measure v 2 on an event-byevent basis. Take e-by-e result and average to compare to our other results. <v 2 > measured event-by-event is in agreement with both hit and track based PHOBOS results.
46 New Result: v 2 and ε part Fluctuations PHOBOS v 2 result band: 90% CL PHOBOS ε part prediction Magnitude of v 2 fluctuations is in agreement with ε part fluctuations
47 To Summarize Flow fluctuations measurement appears to directly confirm the relevance of the initial participant nucleon configuration. It is believed this initial configuration determines the detailed relevant geometry of the initial quark gluon plasma which then evolves hydrodynamically.
48 What we learned Initial participating nucleon interaction points act to define the detailed initial geometry. Of course, this one is our actual measurement
49 What about the state of matter undergoing hydrodynamic behavior? What is the thermalized hot plasma made of?
50 What is the thermalized medium made of? Look at v 2 in more detail. PRL 98, (2007) Baryons Mesons We again turn to elliptic flow (v 2 ) measurements. Look in detail at the different mass and energy dependencies.
51 What is the thermalized medium made of? Look at v 2 in more detail. PRL 98, (2007) Baryons/3 Mesons/2 Elliptic flow is unified across species when results divided by number of constituent quarks! Are these the relevant degrees of freedom?
52 A Possible Scenario Start with a thermalized liquid QGP with quark degrees of freedom time At particle freeze out these quarks recombine to form hadrons directly out of the QGP
53 Recombination vs. Fragmentation Figs from B. Muller: nucl-th/ , R. Fries: QM 2004, PRL (2003) Should have a strong effect on Baryon to Meson ratios THE IDEA DATA and FITS fragmenting parton: p h = z p, z<1 Thermal Exponential recombining partons: pqcd power-law p 1 +p 2 =p h
54 Quark Recombination (or Coalescence) STAR; nucl-ex/ Baryon/M Meson Ratios e + e - (proton/pion) Transverse Momentum (MeV/c) Experiment sees ratios ~ 1 at lower p T for central AuAu!
55 What we learned Strong evidence that constituent quarks are relevant Degrees of Freedom and they recombine to form hadrons (at least at low momentum).

Complementary (& surprising) abilities for soft physics and global observables. + Unique opportunities and capabilities in forward region. Sophisticated high-rate triggering to exploit and maximize physics output.
63 Final Thoughts In the brief moment of a relativistic heavy-ion collision, we have created a new state of matter. We believe: At RHIC (& likely the SPS) sqgp We wonder: What will the LHC reveal? Work continues to understand exactly what the new state of matter is, quantify its properties, and discover what it will teach us about the strong interaction and QCD. Thanks for inviting me!
