XLII Rencontres de Moriond La Thuile, Italy 24-Mar-2007George S.F. Stephans Impact of first measurement  Invalidated many of the theoretical predictions in existence  Provided support for further development of theories of parton saturation  If theory is validated, this process may dominate low-x physics at high enough energy, even in p+p  Implied that tracking and other measurements in heavy ion collisions at the LHC may not be as horrendous as previously thought  Furthermore, found that dN/d  per participant pair in Au+Au is equal to dN/d  in p+p at twice the center of mass energy (next slide).

XLII Rencontres de Moriond La Thuile, Italy 24-Mar-2007George S.F. Stephans Centrality dependence  I  Impact parameter varies in heavy ion collisions: Not just “more of the same”  Large impact parameter  Few nucleons participate  Few collisions  Smaller average number of collisions per participant  Small impact parameter  Many nucleons participate  Many, many collisions  Larger average number of collisions per participant  Common claim is that “harder” (“softer” ) processes scale with collisions (participants). Relative abundance of “harder” processes should rise with beam energy.  Centrality dependence should change with energy

XLII Rencontres de Moriond La Thuile, Italy 24-Mar-2007George S.F. Stephans Particle production summary Star formation in galaxies follows a quite simple pattern and simple patterns often mean that there are only [a] few basic physical mechanisms at work.... We can now find out what these mechanisms are by measuring how star formation behaves with time and mass of the galaxy and compare that behavior to models.

XLII Rencontres de Moriond La Thuile, Italy 24-Mar-2007George S.F.
