2 Texas A&M Group Ahmed M. Hamed BNL 10-19-07 Motivation Why  -jet measurements? Single Particle Spectra-R AA Mid-rapidity Statistical Method Heavy quarks suppress as much as light quarks in the medium.  R AA exhibits only very limited sensitivity to the properties of the medium.  More differential observable is needed.

3 ?  Near-side: p+p, d+Au, Au+Au is similar.  Back-to-back: Au+Au strongly suppressed relative to p+p and d+Au. Suppression of the back- to-back correlation in central Au+Au is a final-state effect Motivation Why  -jet measurements? Jet-like azimuthal correlations  Surface bias for the trigger particle.  Trigger particle with no surface bias is required for better calibration of the away-side jet.  Trigger particle with no surface bias is required for better calibration of the away-side jet. Texas A&M Group Ahmed M. Hamed BNL 10-19-07

4  Better understanding for the energy loss mechanism! Elliptic flow. oDirect Photons: Gamma-charged hadrons correlation. Four multipurpose experiments (BRAHMS, PHENIX, PHOBOS, STAR)  Empirical lines of evidence: Energy density well beyond critical value. Large elliptic flow. Jet quenching. dAu control experiment.  Interpreted in terms of a strongly coupled QGP and a new QCD state (?) Color Glass Condensate Required:  Challengeable measurements! Doesn’t couple to the medium. QGP thermal photons. Test for binary scaling for hard process. Motivation Why  -jet measurements? Summary Texas A&M Group Ahmed M. Hamed BNL 10-19-07

5 Motivation Why  -jet measurements? LO Direct photons Bremsstrahlung fragmentation component direct component Decay photons hard: thermal: schematic view Calibrated probe of the QGP – at LO. No Surface Bias Hard process Possible discriminator for quark/gluon jet at LO. oGamma-charged hadrons correlation. Texas A&M Group Ahmed M. Hamed BNL 10-19-07

6 Experimental Challenges Is it possible to measure?   0 – spectra are suppressed by a factor of ~5 relative to the scaled p+p collisions. Pythia v6.131 event generator pp-collisions at √s=200 GeV, |η|<1 (STAR acceptance)  The away-side in di-jet production is more suppressed.  Background sources of direct photons suppressed in medium.
