Results from PHOBOS at RHIC David Hofman University of Illinois at Chicago For the Collaboration European Physical Society HEP2005 International Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics EPS (July 21st-27th 2005) in Lisbon, Portugal

HEP What PHOBOS has studied so far… Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions of – Au+Au √s NN = 19.6, 55.9, 62.4, GeV – Coming soon: Cu+Cu (√s NN = 22.5, 62.4 and GeV) “Benchmark” Collisions of – d+Au √s NN = GeV –Coming soon: p+p (√s NN = 200, 410 GeV)

HEP What PHOBOS has measured so far… Centrality dependence of primary charged particle production vs. –  (dN/d  out to |  <5.4) –  –  R (flow) – p T (0.2 – ~5 GeV/c) Identified charged particles –antiparticle/particle ratios –low p T yields of ,K,p (0.03 – 0.2 GeV/c) –Spectra for p T = 0.3 – ~4 GeV/c

HEP What PHOBOS has observed so far… We have created a state of matter at RHIC with high energy-density, that is nearly net-baryon free and interacting very strongly. Transition to this high-energy state of matter does not create abrupt changes in observables at RHIC energies. The data exhibit many “simple” scaling behaviors. The data exhibit a remarkable factorization of collision energy and geometry. “White Paper”: nucl-ex/ , Nucl. Phys. A 757, 28

Properties of this “State of Matter”

HEP High Energy Density & Approaching a Baryon-Free Environment PHOBOS nucl-ex/ Energy Density Estimate: Largest Uncertainty is the Time to Equilibration. Conservative estimates put  eq ~ 2 fm/c &  RHIC > 3 GeV/fm 3  Energy Density ~6x energy density inside nucleons (20x for nuclei)   B ~ 27 MeV at full RHIC energy, a factor ~10x smaller than at SPS.

HEP What has PHOBOS learned so far? We have created a state of matter at RHIC with high energy-density, that is nearly net-baryon free, and that is strongly interacting. Transition to this high-energy state of matter does not create abrupt changes in observables at RHIC energies. The data exhibits “simple” scaling behaviors and factorizations that unite the data. → suggests strong global constraints and illustrates the importance of the collision geometry in the initial state and the very early evolution of the colliding system. Waiting for Cu+Cu results! → test these features in a smaller system.
