3 Why is QCD predictive there? Why is QCD predictive despite the fact that hadrons are non-perturbative bound states? Factorization : When we add one extra loop to the hard part, all the divergences that remain after having summed over degenerate final states can be absorbed into the evolution of the parton distributions Universality : the structure of these divergences is independent of the nature of the colliding hadrons and of the process under consideration universal distributions François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 3

5 Goals Describe nucleus-nucleus collisions within QCD Generalize the concept of parton distribution Due to the high density of partons, we expect to need higher correlations (beyond the usual parton distributions, which are 2-point correlation functions) If divergences show up in loop corrections, one should be able to factor them out into the evolution of these distributions These distributions should be universal The non-perturbative information is relegated into the initial condition for this evolution Find which observables are infrared safe François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 5

16 Nucleon at rest Nucleon at rest Nucleon at high energy Degrees of freedom Hadronic collisions Very complicated non-perturbative object... Contains fluctuations at all space-time scales smaller than its own size Only the fluctuations that are longer lived than the external probe participate in the interaction process The only role of short lived fluctuations is to renormalize the masses and couplings Interactions are very complicated if the constituents of the nucleon have a non trivial dynamics over time-scales comparable to those of the probe François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 9
17 Nucleon at high energy Nucleon at rest Nucleon at high energy Degrees of freedom Hadronic collisions Dilation of all internal time-scales of the nucleon Interactions among constituents now take place over time-scales that are longer than the characteristic time-scale of the probe the constituents behave as if they were free Many fluctuations live long enough to be seen by the probe. The nucleon appears denser at high energy. Pre-existing fluctuations are totally frozen over the time-scale of the probe, and act as static sources of new partons In a nucleus, soft gluons (long wavelength) belonging to different nucleons overlap in the longitudinal direction coherent effects (known as saturation) François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 10
18 Degrees of freedom and their interplay Nucleon at rest Nucleon at high energy Degrees of freedom Hadronic collisions McLerran, Venugopalan (1994), Iancu, Leonidov, McLerran (2001) Soft modes have a large occupation number they are described by a classical color field A µ that obeys Yang-Mills s equation: [D ν, F νµ ] a = J µ a The source term J µ a comes from the faster partons. The hard modes, slowed down by time dilation, are described as frozen color sources ρ a. Hence : J µ a = δ µ+ δ(x )ρ a ( x ) (x (t z)/ 2) The color sources ρ a are random, and described by a distribution functional W Y [ρ], with Y the rapidity that separates soft and hard. Evolution equation (JIMWLK) : W Y [ρ] Y = H[ρ] W Y [ρ] François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 11

53 Divergences 1-loop contributions to N Initial state factorization Unstable modes If taken at face value, the are plagued by two kinds of divergences : The two coefficients δa( x) and λ ζ λ( x)ζ λ ( y) are infinite, because of an unbounded integration over a rapidity variable At late times, T( x)a(τ, y) diverges exponentially, T( x)a(τ, y) τ + e µτ because of an instability of the classical solution of Yang-Mills equations against non-boost invariant perturbations (Romatschke, Venugopalan (2005)) We can decompose the 1-loop correction δn as [ [ ] [ ] δn = δn ]finite + δn + δn divergent coefficients unstable modes François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 28

57 Initial state factorization 1-loop contributions to N Initial state factorization Unstable modes The two kind of divergences don t mix, because the divergent part of the coefficients is boost invariant. Given their structure, the divergent coefficients seem related to the evolution of the sources in the initial state In order to prove the factorization of these divergences in the initial state distributions of sources, one needs to establish : h δn i divergent coefficients = h (Y 0 Y ) H [ρ 1 ] + (Y Y 0) H [ρ 2 ] i N LO where H[ρ] is the Hamiltonian that governs the rapidity dependence of the source distribution W Y [ρ] : W Y [ρ] Y = H[ρ] W Y [ρ] FG, Lappi, Venugopalan (work in progress) François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 30

59 Unstable modes 1-loop contributions to N Initial state factorization Unstable modes The coefficient δa( x) is boost invariant. Hence, the divergences due to the unstable modes all come from the quadratic term in δn : h i δn unstable modes = 8 >< 1 >: 2 with Z x, y 9 >= Σ( x, y) T ( x)t ( y) >; N [A LO in(ρ 1, ρ 2 )] Σ( x, y) Z λ ζ λ ( x)ζ λ( y) When summed to all orders, these divergences exponentiate : h i δn unstable modes = e 1 2 R x, y Σ( x, y) T ( x)t ( y) N LO [A in (ρ 1, ρ 2 )] François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 32
60 Unstable modes 1-loop contributions to N Initial state factorization Unstable modes This can be arranged in a more intuitive way : h i δn unstable modes = = Z ˆDξ e 1 2 R x, y ξ( x)ξ( y) Σ( x, y) {z } ei Z fluct [ξ] Z ˆDξ Zfluct[ξ] N [A LO in(ρ 1, ρ 2 )+ξ] R x ξ( x) T ( x) N LO [A in (ρ 1, ρ 2 )] summing these divergences simply requires to add Gaussian fluctuations to the initial condition for the classical problem Interpretation : Despite the fact that the fields are coupled to strong sources, the classical approximation alone is not good enough, because the classical solution has unstable modes that can be triggered by the quantum fluctuations François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 33

74 What would it be good for? Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory Let us pretend that we know the generating function F(z). We could get the probability distribution as follows : P n = 1 2π Z 2π 0 dθ e inθ F(e iθ ) Note : this is trivial to evaluate numerically by a FFT : F 1 (z) F 2 (z) 1e-04 1e-06 P n 1e-08 1e-10 1e-12 1e n François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 45
75 F(z) at Leading Order We have : F (z) = D { e zd e iv e iv } By the same arguments as in the case of N, we get : Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory F (z) F(z) = + The major difference is that the sum of cut graphs that must be evaluated have a factor z attached to each cut line At tree level (LO), we can write F (z)/f(z) in terms of solutions of the classical Yang-Mills equations, but these solutions are not retarded anymore, because : + z retarded propagator François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 46

77 Remarks on factorization As we ve seen before, the fact that the calculation of the first moment N can be formulated as an initial value problem is probably going to be crucial for proving factorization Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory If this is indeed the case, then factorization does not hold for the generating function F(z), or equivalently for the individual probabilities P n Preliminary studies seem to indicate that the computation of higher moments of the distribution can also be reformulated as initial value problems the moments would be factorizable as well François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 48

81 Exclusive processes So far, we have considered only inclusive quantities i.e. the P n are defined as probabilities of producing particles anywhere in phase-space Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory What about events where a part of the phase-space remains unoccupied? e.g. rapidity gaps empty region Y François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 51
82 Main issues 1. How do we calculate the probabilities Pn excl with an excluded region Ω in the phase-space? Can one calculate the total gap probability P gap = n P n excl? Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory 2. What is the appropriate distribution of sources W excl [ρ] to Y describe a projectile that has not broken up? 3. How does it evolve with rapidity? See : Hentschinski, Weigert, Schafer (2005) 4. Are there some factorization theorems, and for which quantities do they hold? François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 52
83 Exclusive probabilities Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory The probabilities Pn excl [Ω], for producing n particles but none in the region Ω can also be constructed from the vacuum diagrams, as follows : Pn excl [Ω] = 1 n! Dn eiv e iv Ω where D Ω is an operator that removes two sources and links the corresponding points by a cut (on-shell) line, for which the integration is performed only in the region Ω One can define a generating function, F Ω (z) n P excl n [Ω] z n, whose derivative is given by the same diagram topologies as the derivative of the generating function for inclusive probabilities François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 53
84 Exclusive probabilities Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory Differences with the inclusive case : In the diagrams that contribute to F Ω (z)/f Ω(z), the cut propagators are restricted to the region Ω of the phase-space at leading order, this only affects the boundary conditions for the classical fields in terms of which one can write F Ω (z)/f Ω (z) not more difficult than the inclusive case Contrary to the inclusive case where we know that F(1) = 0 the integration constant needed to go from F Ω (z)/f Ω(z) to F Ω (z) is non-trivial. This is due to the fact that the sum of all the exclusive probabilities is smaller than unity F Ω (1) is in fact the probability of not having particles in the region Ω i.e. the gap probability François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 54
85 Survival probability Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory We can write : F Ω (z) = F Ω (1) exp z 1 dτ F (τ) Ω F Ω (τ) the prefactor F Ω (1) will appear in all the exclusive probabilities This prefactor is nothing but the famous survival probability for a rapidity gap One can in principle calculate it by the general techniques developed for calculating inclusive probabilities : F Ω (1) = F incl 1 Ω (0) Note : it is incorrect to say that a certain process with a gap can be calculated by multiplying the probability of this process without the gap by the survival probability François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 55
86 Factorization? Except for the case of Deep Inelastic Scattering, nothing is known regarding factorization for exclusive processes in a high density environment Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory For the overall framework to be consistent, one should have factorization between the gap probability, F Ω (1), and the source density studied in Hentschinski, Weigert, Schafer (2005) (and the ordinary W Y [ρ] on the other side) The total gap probability is the most inclusive among the exclusive quantities one may think of. For what quantities if any does factorization work? François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 56
87 Link with Kinetic Theory Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory The distribution n(τ 0, x, p) of gluons is evaluated from the previous formula at a finite time τ 0 After the time τ 0, it evolves according to a Boltzmann equation : v X n + g X A p n = S + C[n] The source term S comes from the fact that there are still time-dependent fields in the system, that keep producing particles This procedure makes sense only if the final result is insensitive to the value of τ 0, within a reasonable range. This independence comes from the fact that, for field amplitudes 1 A g 1, the system can be described in a dual way : as fields governed by classical equations of motion as on-shell particles governed by a kinetic equation François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 57
88 Importance of fluctuations Extra bits Parton saturation Generating function Quark production Exclusive processes Link with Kinetic Theory With a background field, the collision term of the Boltzmann equation allows 1 2 splittings In the classical calculation, the average over the fluctuations of the initial condition also amounts to including gluon splittings these fluctuations may be crucial for the independence with respect to the transition time τ 0 (so that the two descriptions work equally well between τ 0 and τ 0) τ 0 τ 0 François Gelis 2006 From RHIC to LHC: Achievements and Opportunities, INT, Seattle, October p. 58
