1 A NEARLY PERFECT INK: The quest for the quark-gluon plasma at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider Berndt Mueller (Duke University) LANL Theory Colloquium 2 June 2005
2 The Road to the Quark-Gluon Plasma Is Hexagonal and 2.4 Miles Long Insights and Scientific Challenges from the RHIC Experiments STAR
3 The quest for simplicity The equation of state of strongly interacting matter according to lattice QCD Quark-gluon plasma Before the 1975, matter at high energy density was considered a real mess! QCD predicts that hot matter becomes simple the QGP (not necessarily weakly interacting!). Characteristic features: deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration. T c 160 MeV
4 The QCD phase diagram RHIC T T c Quar k- Gluon Critical endpoint? Plasma Hadronic matter Chiral symmetry broken 1 st order line? Chiral symmetry restored Colour superconductor Nuclei Neutron stars B
5 Space-time picture of a r.h.i.c. Thermal freeze-out Hadronization Equilibration
6 RHIC data gathering Charged particle tracks from a central Au+Au collision RHIC has had runs with: Au+Au at 200, 130, 62 GeV Cu+Cu at 200, 62 GeV d+au at 200 GeV p+p at 200, 130 GeV
7 Frequently Asked Questions How do we know that we have produced equilibrated matter, not just a huge bunch of particles? What makes this matter special? How do we measure its properties? Which evidence do we have that quarks are deconfined for a brief moment (about s)? Which evidence do we have for temporary chiral symmetry restoration? What do we still need to learn? Translation: When can RHIC be closed down?
8 FAQ #1 How do we know that we produced equilibrated matter, not just a bunch of particles? Answer: Particles are thermally distributed and flow collectively!
9 Chemical equilibrium Chemical equilibrium fits work, except where they should not (resonances with large rescattering). RHIC 200 GeV T ch = MeV µ B = 24 5 MeV Central Au-Au vs=200 GeV STAR Preliminary 9
10 Elliptic flow Coordinate space: initial asymmetry y x Pressure gradient collective flow Momentum space: final asymmetry p y p x Two-particle correlations dn/d( 1-2 ) 1 + 2v 2 2 cos(2[ 1-2 ])
11 FAQ #2 What makes this matter special? Answer: It flows astonishingly smoothly! The least viscous non-superfluid ever seen
12 v 2 requires low viscosity Relativistic viscous fluid dynamics: T 0 with T ( P) u u Pg ( u u trace) Shear viscosity tends to smear out the effects of sharp gradients pqcd: 4T 3 p But what is s? s ln s shear viscosity 1 Dimensionless quantity 2 1 entropy density s 15 ln s s
13 Viscosity must be ultra-low v 2 data comparison with (2D) relativistic hydrodynamics results suggests /s 0.1 Recent excitement: D. Teaney Quantum lower bound on /s : /s = 1/4 (Kovtun, Son, Starinets) Realized in strongly coupled (g 1) N = 4 SUSY YM theory, also in QCD? QGP(T T c ) = sqgp /s = 1/4 implies f (5 T) d
14 FAQ #3 How do we measure its properties? Answer: With hard QCD probes, such as jets, photons, or heavy quarks
15 Jet quenching = Parton energy loss q q High-energy parton loses energy by rescattering in dense, hot medium. Radiative energy loss: de / dx L kt 2 q L g q Scattering centers = color charges Density of scattering centers d qˆ q dq k dq T 2 Scattering power of the QCD medium: Range of color force
16 Suppression of fast pions ( 0 ) Phenix preliminary R AA NAA N N coll pp Peripheral collisons Central collisons
17 Energy loss at RHIC Data are described by a very large loss parameter for central collisions: 2 qˆ 5 10 GeV /fm (Dainese, Loizides, Paic, hep-ph/ ) sqgp QGP RHIC data R. Baier Pion gas p T = GeV/c Cold nuclear matter Larger than expected from perturbation theory?
18 Does QCD perturbation theory work? I. Vitev (JRO Fellow LANL) 0 d+au Au+Au? What is the appropriate value of QCD coupling s?
19 FAQ #4 Which evidence do we have that quarks are deconfined for a brief moment (about s)? Answer: Baryons and mesons are formed from independently flowing quarks
20 Suppression Patterns: Baryons vs. Mesons What makes baryons different from mesons?
21 Hadronization Mechanisms q q Baryon Meson q Fragmentation 1 q q q q q Recombination Baryon 1 Meson pm 2 pq pb 3pQ This is not coalescence from a dilute medium!
22 Recombination wins always for a thermal source Fragmentation still wins for a power law tail Baryons compete with mesons
23 Recombination vs. Fragmentation R.J. Fries, BM, C. Nonaka, S.A. Bass T eff = 350 MeV blue-shifted temperature T = 180 MeV pqcd spectrum shifted by 2.2 GeV
24 Hadron v 2 reflects quark flow! Recombination model suggests that hadronic flow reflects partonic flow (n = number of valence quarks): v nv had part 2 2 p had T np part T Provides measurement of partonic v 2!
25 FAQ #5 Which evidence do we have for temporary chiral symmetry restoration?
26 Strangeness in Au+Au at RHIC Mass (MeV) Q CD mass Higgs mass (sss) QCD mass disappears (qss) 100 (qqs) 10 1 u d s Flavor c b t
27 FAQ #6: What do we still need to (or want to) learn? Number of degrees of freedom: via energy density entropy relation. Color screening: via dissolution of heavy quark bound states (J/ ). Chiral symmetry restoration: modification of hadron masses via e + e - spectroscopy. Quantitative determination of transport properties: viscosity, stopping power, sound velocity, etc. What exactly is the s QGP?
28 QCD equation of state 20% 2 30 T 4 Challenge: Devise met hod for det er mining from data
29 Alternative method Eliminate T from and s : BM & K. Rajagopal, hep-ph/ Eur. J. Phys. C (in print) s 2 4 T T s s Lower limit on requires lower limit on s and upper limit on.
30 Measuring and s Entropy is related to produced particle number and is conserved in the expansion of the (nearly) ideal fluid: dn/dy? S? s = S/V. Energy density is more difficult to determine: Energy contained in transverse degrees of freedom is not conserved during hydrodynamical expansion. Focus in the past has been on obtaining a lower limit on ; here we need an upper limit. New aspect at RHIC: parton energy loss. de/dx is telling us something important but what exactly?
31 Entropy Two approaches: 1) Use inferred particle numbers at chemical freeze-out from statistical model fits of hadron yields; 2) Use measured hadron yields and HBT system size parameters as kinetic freeze-out (Pratt & Pal). Method 2 is closer to data, but requires more assumptions (HBT radii = geometric radii, isentropic expansion of hadronic gas). Good news: results agree within errors: ds/dy = 5100 ± 400 for Au+Au (6% central, 200 GeV/NN)
32 State of the art 6% central s NN 1/2 = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions ( 0 = 1 fm/c): ds/dy = 5100 ± 400? s = (ds/dy)/( R 2 0 ) = 33 ± 3 fm-3 de T /dy = 650 GeV/fm 3? Bj = (de T /dy)/( R2 0 ) = 4.2 GeV/fm3 > Bj due to longitudinal hydrodynamic work done. PHOBOS estimate is > 5 GeV/fm 3 at 0 = 1 fm/c. Some examples: = 5 GeV/fm 3? = 71 ± 22 = 7 GeV/fm 3? = 26 ± 8 = 9 GeV/fm 3? = 12 ± 4 Improved determination of must be an immediate goal.
33 Heavy quarks Heavy quarks (c, b) provide a hard scale via their mass. Three ways to make use of this: Color screening of (Q-Qbar) bound states; Energy loss of slow heavy quarks; D-, B-mesons as probes of collective flow. RHIC program: c-quarks and J/ ; LHC-HI program: b-quarks and. RHIC data for J/ are forthcoming (Runs 4 & 5).
34 The Baier plot - again Plotted against, is the same for a gas and for a perturbative QGP. Suggests that ˆq is really a measure of the energy density. Data suggest that ˆq may be larger than compatible with Baier plot. Better calculations are needed. ˆq sqgp QGP RHIC data One approach (Turbide et al.) based on complete LO HTL transport theory, gets R AA right (hep-ph/ ) Pion gas Cold nuclear matter
35 J/ suppression? V qq is screened at scale (gt) -1 heavy quark bound states dissolve above some T d. Color singlet free energy Quenched lattice simulations, with analytic continuation to real time, suggest T d 2T c! S. Datta et al. (PRD 69, ) Karsch et al. Challenge: Compute J/ spectral function in unquenched QCD
36 Di-hadron correlations STAR Data Correlations depend on selected momentum windows Q R/R Away-side jet: Q ( R/R) 2
37 Waking the sqgp v=0.55c v=0.99c
38 Outlook The discovery phase of RHIC is just hitting its full stride. Several important observables still waiting to be explored. Run-4 and -5 data are eagerly anticipated. More than 10 9 events will provide many answers and help us to refine the questions. Many well defined theoretical challenges.
