James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Hard Probes at RHIC: Past, Present, and Future James Dunlop Brookhaven National Laboratory

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July The Promise of Jet Tomography Simplest way to establish the properties of a system –Calibrated probe –Calibrated interaction –Suppression pattern tells about density profile Heavy ion collisions –Hard processes serve as calibrated probe –Suppression provides density measure + =

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Application to Heavy Ion Collisions: Initial Results Strong suppression in Au+Au collisions, no suppresion in d+Au: Effect is due to interactions between the probe and the medium Established use as a probe of the density of the medium Conclusion (at the time): medium is dense (50-100x nuclear matter density) PHENIX: Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 (2003) STAR: Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 (2003) PHOBOS: Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 (2003) BRAHMS: Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 (2003) Binary collision scalingp+p reference

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Calibrated Probe: Hard Interactions Hard interactions well understood in perturbative QCD –Factorization holds –PDF (initial) x NLO x FF (final) Example:  0 production well reproduced down to 2 GeV Numerous other examples –   in the forward direction, STAR PRL 92 (2004) 1718 STAR PRL 97 (2006) –proton production in p+p, STAR PLB 637, (2006)161. –Direct  production PHENIX PRD 71 (2005) –Jet production in p+p, STAR PRL 97 (2006) Significant uncertainties in the calculations, so for precision the baseline needs to be measured p+p→  0 +X S.S. Adler et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 (2003) KKP Fragmentation (Data – pQCD)/pQCD

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Calibrated Probe? Initial state Initial conditions may not be trivial at forward y at RHIC, at mid-y at the LHC Definitive tests of CGC picture with in run 8 d+Au with the STAR FMS –Wide pseudorapidity range for monojet search (-1 <  < 4, E  up to 60 GeV/c) –Covers x min >10 -3 in standard factorization; reach much lower x in CGC framework First look run 3, STAR PRL 97, (2006).

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Central R AA Data Increasing density The Limitations of R AA: “Fragility ” Surface bias leads effectively to saturation of R AA with density Challenge: Increase sensitivity to the density of the medium K.J. Eskola, H. Honkanken, C.A. Salgado, U.A. Wiedemann, Nucl. Phys. A747 (2005) 511 A. Dainese, C. Loizides, G. Paic, Eur. Phys. J. C38(2005) 461

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Black and White Medium extremely black to hadrons, limiting sensitivity to density Medium transparent to photons (white): no sensitivity Is there something grey? S.S. Adler et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, (2005)

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Calibrated Interaction? Gray Probes Problem: interaction with the medium so strong that information lost: “Black” Significant differences between predicted R AA, depending on the probe Experimental possibility: recover sensitivity to the properties of the medium by varying the probe Wicks et al, nucl-ex/

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Gluons vs. Quarks: No shade of gray Gluons should lose more energy than quarks Pions have larger quark contribution than protons SO, Protons should be more suppressed than pions Experimentally NOT observed: equal suppression for p T >6 GeV/c –Perhaps: If medium already black to quarks, can’t be blacker than black Other methods to be tried: kinematics in  (as done in e.g. dijet Sivers) gluon jet quark jet STAR Collaboration, PRL 97 (152301) 2006

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Charm/Beauty: No shade of gray Unexpectedly strong suppression of non-photonic electrons a major issue –Calls into question the calibration of the interaction of the probe with the medium Uncertainties in B contribution: need to measure c and b separately STAR, PRL 98 (2007) PHENIX, PRL 98 (2007)

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Correlations WMAP: level –One sample –Only photons –Well-defined separation of sources RHIC: to level –Multiple samples –Multiple probes –Model dependence in separation of sources quite a few “two-component” models, with different components

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Interpreting Correlations Geometric biases: Hadrons: surface Di-hadrons: tangential, but depending on Eloss can probe deeply Charm-hadron, and especially Beauty-hadron(B): depends on Eloss Note: b and c produced in pairs, B and C decay into multiple hadrons Gamma-hadrons: Precise kinematics, back to surface Beyond reaction of probe to medium, also reaction of medium to probe T. Renk, nucl-ex/

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Dijets from dihadrons NOT background subtracted: no ambiguities from background model At high trigger p T, high associated p T : clear jet-like peaks seen on near and away side in central Au+Au 8 < p T (trig) < 15 GeV/c p T (assoc)>6 GeV STAR PRL 97 (2006) d+Au 1/N trig dN/d(  ) Au+Au 20-40%Au+Au 0-5%

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Modification of Clean Signals Away-side yield strongly suppressed (almost) to level of R AA No dependence on z T in measured range No modification in shape in transverse or longitudinal direction The jets you can see cleanly are also in some sense the least modified STAR PRL 97 (2006)

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Where does the energy go? Lower the associated p T to search for radiated energy Additional energy at low p T BUT no longer collimated into jets Active area: additional handles on the properties of the medium? Mach shocks, Cherenkov cones … e.g. Renk and Ruppert, Phys. Rev. C 73 (2006) PHENIX preliminary Leading hadrons Medium away near M. Horner, QM2006 STAR, Phys. Rev.

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Future at RHIC: “RHIC II” or the fb era RHIC: luminosity + upgraded detectors for precision –Beauty: last hope for a “grey” probe; needs detector upgrades to both STAR and PHENIX to isolate from charm –  -jet: precision probe of energy loss –Upsilon: precision tests of Debye screening with a “standard candle” Previous Au Run, year 4 STAR HFT PHENIX VTX Current Au Run, year 7 One year at RHIC II ~ 30 nb nb -1 *197 2 =~ 1 fb -1 p+p equivalent

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Conclusion Jet Quenching well established Moving towards the quantitative –Separate by parton species in search of a grey probe –Track lost energy and its interaction with the medium with two- and multi-particle correlations Watershed in coming years from RHIC II luminosity upgrade and detector upgrades –Precision studies with , b, c, and associated multi-hadron correlations –Complementary, competitive, and in some ways superior, to LHC

James DunlopMontreal ETD-HIC, July Gluons vs Quarks: Method 1.q jets or g jets  gluon jet contribution to protons is significantly larger than to pions at high p T in p+p collisions at RHIC; pbar/  < 0.1 from quark jet fragmentation at low beam energy. STAR Collaboration, PLB 637, 161 (2006). 2.From Kretzer fragmentation function, the g/q jet contribution is similar to AKK. S. Kretzer, PRD 62, (2000). 200 GeV p+p
