Solid ground for models based on jet quenching and quark recombination Study of Nuclear Modification Factor in d+Au collisions Particle ratios constrain particle production models

Pawan Kumar NetrakantiPANIC-2005, Santa Fe3 Method of analysis High p T : Extend particle identification in TPC by exploiting the relativistic rise in ionization energy loss. Log10(p) Log10(dE/dx) Momentum: GeV/c dE/dx of K,p) separation: 2 Low p T : Particle identification by Time-Of-Flight ( p T < 2.5 GeV/c) Detectors used : Time projection Chamber (| |<1.8, full and 4.2 m long) Time-Of-Flight (–1.0 < < 0 and /30 in )

Pawan Kumar NetrakantiPANIC-2005, Santa Fe10 Scaling of particle production ,p(pbar) show x T (= 2p T / s) scaling for p T > 2 GeV/c at various CM energies m T scaling observed for 1 < m T < 2 GeV/c 2 STAR preliminary n ~ 4 for basic scattering process n ~ 8 quark meson scattering by exchanging a quark
11
Pawan Kumar NetrakantiPANIC-2005, Santa Fe11 Summary Obtained the p T spectra for charged pions, protons and anti- protons up to 10 GeV/c. Method used in high p T : relativistic rise in ionization energy loss in TPC p T spectra is fitted to both Power law and Levy distributions Significant Cronin effect in pion production in d+Au collisions. The nuclear modification factor for baryons is higher than mesons in intermediate region of p T The anti-proton/proton ratio is around 0.8 for p+p collisions. It seems to decrease with p T for d+Au collisions
12
Pawan Kumar NetrakantiPANIC-2005, Santa Fe12 Summary (Contd…) Pion spectra for high p T is well explained using KKP & AKK type of fragmentation function in p+p and d+Au collisions. NLO pQCD calculations with only AKK fragmentation functions explain the proton+anti-proton spectra A phenomenological model based on parton splitting (EPOS) also does a reasonable job Pions and protons exhibit xT scaling. m T scaling of pions and protons in p+p and d+Au collisions for m T < 2 GeV/c 2

Pawan Kumar NetrakantiPANIC-2005, Santa Fe13 Highlight NLO pQCD describes the p+pbar spectrum for the first time in p+p collisions Importance of the significant improvement of FF for baryons from the light-flavor separated measurements in e+e- collisions (OPAL) The observed x T scaling of ,p(pbar) at high pT also show dominance of hard processes related to PDF and FF Provide solid reference for effects of jet quenching and recombination in Nucleus-Nucleus collisions
