1 Jana Bielcikova (Yale University) for the STAR Collaboration 23 rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics February 12-18, 2007 Two-particle correlations with strange baryons and mesons at RHIC

2 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 2 Outline: Physics motivation Correlations with identified strange trigger particles (Λ, Λ and K 0 S ) in d+Au and Au+Au collisions Correlations with identified strange associated particles (Λ, Λ and K 0 S ) in central Au+Au collisions Summary

3 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 3 R CP : intermediate p T : baryon/meson splitting independent of strangeness content high p T (p T > 5 GeV/c) : all particles have similar R CP and appear to show similar suppression large enhancement of baryon/meson ratio in central Au+Au relative to p+p collisions - reaches maximum at p T ~3 GeV/c jet fragmentation is not a dominant source of particle production Baryon/meson anomaly at intermediate p T

4 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 4 Parton recombination at intermediate p T in vacuo fragmentation of a high momentum quark to produce hadrons competes with in medium recombination of lower momentum quarks to produce hadrons 6 GeV/c particle via : fragmentation from high p T meson - 2 quarks at p T ~3 GeV/c baryon - 3 quarks at p T ~2 GeV/c Recombination produces more baryons than mesons at intermediate p T R.J. Fries et al., PRL 90 (202303) 2003 V. Greco et al., PRL 90 (202302) 2003 baryon meson

5 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 5 Jet-like correlations at RHIC central Au+Au collisions @ 200 GeV: disappearance of away-side correlations observed at intermediate p T d+Au and p+p similar -> jet suppression is a final state effect lowering associated p T : - resurrects correlated yield at away side - near and away-side yields are enhanced with respect to d+Au 0.15<p T (assoc)<4.0 GeV/c 4 <p T (trig)<6 GeV/c 2 GeV/c <p T (assoc)<p T (trig)

6 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 6 Correlations with identified particles provide additional information on: baryon/meson enhancement medium modification of jet shape particle production mechanisms coalescence/recombination mechanisms and/or (modified) fragmentation of high-p T partons? parton hadrons Λ, Λ, K 0 S, γ … ? parton

8 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 8 before elliptic flow subtraction Correlations with strange particle triggers in Au+Au at 200 GeV Selection criteria: 3.0 GeV/c < p T trigger < 3.5 GeV/c 1 GeV/c < p T associated < 2 GeV/c |  | < 1 Correlation function: normalized per trigger particle corrected for reconstruction efficiency of associated charged particles acceptance corrected STAR preliminary trigger: baryon/meson baryon/antibaryon after elliptic flow subtraction (using ZYAM method) Ajitanand et al, PRC72 (2005) 011902 systematic errors due to v 2 uncertainty ~ 30%

9 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 9 steep increase of near-side yield with centrality in Au+Au ratio of yields in central Au+Au/d+Au ~ 4-5 -> “jet” yield is independent of centrality and agrees with d+Au (effects of merged tracks under study) JetJet + Ridge -> “ridge” yield increases with centrality ridge of K 0 S < ridge of Λ Ridge Centrality dependence of near-side yield Jet

10 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 10 p T trigger dependence of jet and ridge yields near-side associated yield is ridge dominated at intermediate p T jet yield: - increases steeply with p T trigger - smaller for Λ-triggers than for K 0 S -triggers ? - baryon jet is wider than meson jet - effects of merged tracks under study jet/ridge ratio increases with p T trigger Jet + Ridge Ridge Jet

11 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 11 p T -distribution of associated particles Trigger particleT(ridge) MeVT (jet) MeV h +/- 438 ± 4 (stat.)478 ± 8 K0SK0S 406 ± 20 (stat.)530 ± 61 Λ 416 ± 11 (stat.)445 ± 49 STAR preliminary “jet” slope ridge slope inclusive slope J. Putschke (STAR), QM’06 h-h correlations p T associated >2GeV/c Ridge spectra similar to particles from the bulk Jet spectra are harder (T increases steeply with p T trig )

12 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 12 central-to-peripheral ratio (“I CP ”): - ~ 3 at p T associated = 1 GeV/c - decreases slowly with p T associated - jet yield is independent of centrality  “I CP ” is driven by long-range Δη correlations qualitative agreement with the parton recombination model BUT! quantitative agreement requires same centrality and p T selection check required on how well the “ridge” is reproduced by the model call for predictions for identified particles What does a parton recombination model predict? jet ReCo: R. Hwa, Z.Tan: PRC72 (057902) 2005

13 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 13 Particle composition in the ridge  /K 0 S ratio: in the ridge: ~ 1.0  similar to that from inclusive p T spectra in the jet: ~ 0.5  consistent with p+p |Δη|<2.0 |Δη|<0.7 STAR preliminary

14 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 14 What is the origin of the ridge ? 1) Parton radiation and its coupling to the longitudinal flow gluon bremsstrahlung of hard-scattered parton  parton is shifted to lower p T radiated gluon contributes to broadening 2) Medium heating + parton recombination Chiu & Hwa Phys. Rev. C72:034903,2005 hard parton passing through the medium  enhanced thermal parton distribution ( Δ T=15 MeV)  recombination of thermal partons forms a pedestal (ridge) pedestal is not a part of the jet enhanced baryon/meson ratio 3) Radial flow + trigger bias S.Voloshin, nucl-th/0312065, Nucl. Phys. A749, 287 (2005) 4) Longitudinal broadening of quenched jets in turbulent color field A. Majumder, B. Mueller, S.A.Bass, hep-ph/0611135 plasma instabilities in expanding medium  broadening of jet cone  wide ridge in rapidity at low p T assoc Armesto et al, PRL 93 (2004)

15 Jana Bielcikova23rd Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics 15 Correlations with strange trigger particles: - system size: strong increase (~4-5) of the near-side yield in central Au+Au in comparison to d+Au collisions due to long-range Δη correlations ( “ ridge ” ). Ongoing studies of correlations in Cu+Cu. - ridge yield: steep increase with centrality, slope of p T spectra similar to that of “ bulk ” - jet yield: consistent with d+Au, constant with centrality, increasing with p T trigger Correlations with strange associated particles: B/M ratio in the ridge: close to the bulk B/M ratio in the jet: consistent with p+p The data qualitatively agree with recombination picture, but more detailed comparisons are needed to draw final conclusions.
