2 Outline Motivation Data analysis – cluster finder introduction – π 0 like events selection and data & simulation comparison – Preliminary correlation results Summary & To do Xuan Li2

3 Motivation To probe nuclear gluon density at low x. Xuan Li3 Proton gluon density At a given x, nuclear (mass number A) gluon density ≈ A 1/3 * nucleon gluon density. And we lack data below x=0.02 for nuclear [Phys. Rev. C70 (2004)044905, hep-ph/0308248]. Can’t increase indefinitely. Saturation? Fixed Target Experiments Rapid rise of the gluon density at low-x evident from  F 2 (x)/  lnQ 2 at fixed x (Prytz relation)

4 Motivation How to access low X gluon. Xuan Li4 Large rapidity  production   ~4  probes asymmetric partonic collisions. Mostly high-x valence quark + low-x gluon 0.3 < x q < 0.7 0.001< x g < 0.1, this is broad distribution for gluon. If we measure two jets, we will limit the measured gluon x range. Forward di-jets are more sensitive to low x gluon.

5 Motivation Test the phase boundary at fixed Q 2. Xuan Li5 Fix P T, look through different x region  related to rapidity of produced hadrons. (Iancu and Venugopalan, hep-ph/0303204) Fix P t at forward rapidity π 0, and vary the rapidity of associated π 0. Vary the P t to study the boundary.

6 Motivation Xuan Li6 FMS-BEMC(TPC) correlation Triggering on the forward rapidity π 0, the rapidity of the associated π 0 is correlated with the soft parton involved in the partonic scattering. Provide direct sensitivity to gluon density at 0.001< x < 0.02. arXiv:0907.3473 P T (FMS)>2.5GeV/c 1.5GeV/c<P T (BEMC/TPC)<P T (FMS) P T (FMS)>2.0GeV/c 1.0GeV/c<P T (BEMC/TPC)<P T (FMS)

7 Motivation Xuan Li7 FMS-FMS correlation Triggering on the forward rapidity π 0, the rapidity of the associated π 0 is correlated with the soft parton involved in the partonic scattering. Provide direct sensitivity to gluon density at 0.001< x < 0.02. arXiv:1005.2378

8 Motivation Xuan Li8 FMS-EEMC correlation Triggering on the forward rapidity π 0, the rapidity of the associated π 0 is correlated with the soft parton involved in the partonic scattering. Provide direct sensitivity to gluon density at 0.001< x < 0.02.

9 π 0 decay kinematics Run8 STAR geometry Xuan Li9 π 0 decay into 2 photons. Assuming the energy of π 0 is 3GeV to 10GeV, then the separation of photons in EEMC is from 25.2cm to 7.6 cm. Proton (Deuteron)Proton (Gold)
