4 Hagedorn limit temperature
W. Broniowski et al., PRD 70,117503(2004) TH is the Hagedorn temperature When matter try to reach the TH temperature, energy is used to increase the number of hadronic resonances; In consequence, infinite energy will be needed to reach a temperature TH (~170 MeV) of matter; TH is the limit temperature of the matter. R. Hagedorn, Nuovo Cimento Supplemento vol.3, page 147 (1965)

8 (naïve) Quark Gluon Plasma
Ultra relativistic ideal gas Stephan-Boltzmann law for bosons and fermions respectively g=2 for photons, g=4 for leptons (e, m), g=3 for p, g=16 for gluons and 18 for quarks (u, d, s), In natural units Degrees of freedom in QGP larger than in Hadron Gas

9 Chiral Symmetry breaking
QCD Lagrangian of massless Quarks Quark helicity is well defined Invariant under Chiral symmetry transformations The Chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken Massless goldstone bosons exist: the light hadron: pion, kaon Chiral symmetry is restored at high energy or T Masses of the pion, kaon ≠ 0 : Quark are not exactly massless (u,d,s). Chiral symmetry is explicitly broken Phase transition (or cross-over) should take place Decofinement (m=∞) and Chiral transition are the same in QCD (confirmed by lattice QCD)

14 Golden “probes” of QGP Thermal radiation from QGP.
Heavy quark potential in QGP. Parton-QGP interaction.

15 Thermal Radiation Golden probe to measure the temperature of the QGP;
It can be real (g production) or virtual (g*=>e+e_) dielectron production; Note that black-body thermal radiation is a bad approximation for a QGP of 7 fm diameter since the mean path of a photon or lepton in QGP will be larger that its diameter. Yields scale by a factor aQED/aQCD~0.02 (at GeV scale).;

16 Quarkonium Bound state of Q and its anti-Q:
Charmonium for c-cbar: J/y, y’, cc; Bottomonium for b-bar: upsilon family 1S, 2S and 3S. Properly described by Quark Model Charmonium family

17 Colour screening V(r) a exp(-r/lD)/r, lD a 1/rg, rg increases with T
Heavy Quark potential is screened Quarkonium melts V(r) a exp(-r/lD)/r, lD a 1/rg, rg increases with T

18 Colour Screening of heavy Quark V(r)
Colour charges in the QGP could screen the potential between two heavy quarks: Only if lD(Debye Length)<RQQ(size of the quarkonum) screening occurs; lD depends on QGP temperature.

19 Parton-QGP interaction
Depending on colour density in the QGP; Casimir factor (CR): 4/3 for q , 3 for g Dead cone effect: important for beauty 5 GeV/c2

20 More fundamental QCD questions
q,g How lost-energy is dissipated in the medium? How partons fragment in the medium? Flavour dependence?

21 Experimental Method Heating matter with Ultra Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions. The first problems to be solved: More complex than an incoherent superposition of individual parton-parton (nucleon-nucleon) collisions. Full Thermal and Chemical Equilibration of the system. Nuclear Dynamics under control Looking for Probes of the equilibrated and highly excited matter.

35 Results from HIC at RHIC & LHC
My personal summary of experimental data on heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. Many results will not be presented. Surely my view is biased and you must be aware of it.

36 Initial Energy Density at RHIC
Phys. Rev. C 71, (2005) Bjorken Model: Au+Au at 200 GeV eBj ~ 5-10 GeV/fm3

37 Initial Energy Density at LHC
PRL 105, (2010) Pb+Pb at 2.76 TeV; eBj ~ GeV/fm3; Assumed mean pT increase of 30%; t0 assumed to be constant.

38 Statistical Hadronization at RHIC
Chemical freeze-out: Two parameters: Tch and mB; Tch ~ 164 MeV; mB ;~ 22 MeV Phys. Lett. B 697 (2011) 203 [arXiv: ] System seems to thermalize before freee-out.

39 Statistical Hadronization at LHC
arXiv: v1 LHC should be the ultimate test. mB~0 and similar Temperature than at RHIC.

40 Elliptic Flow in Heavy Ions
From Mark D. Baker presentation (BNL)

41 Elliptic Flow (v2) at RHIC
STAR coll., PRC72(2005)014904 Elliptic flow is important in HIC; Well understood at RHIC with Hydrodynamical models; sQGP (ideal fluid) concept has been suggested;

42 QGP characterization at RHIC
Systems thermalizes quickly: Challenge from the theory to explain this. Not thermalized gluon-ball called glasma, would thermalize and would create a QGPn short time scales (1 fm/c); QGP initial temperature about 2Tc and it expands following relativistic hydro-dynamics. It behaves as an ideal fluid with a shear viscosity (1<4p(h/s)QGP<2.5). Extremely strong interaction between partons in the QGP. Song H, Bass SA, Heinz U, Hirano T, Shen C, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, (2011), arXiv:

43 Elliptic Flow at LHC Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, (2010) Similar than at RHIC, but higher mean pT, so 30% increase of pT integrated v2

44 Direct Photon Excess at RHIC
Direct photon excess above p+p spectrum. Exponential (consistent with thermal). Inverse slope = 220 ± 20 MeV. Ti from hydro. MeV. Depending on thermalization time. NLO Vogelsang √sNN = 200 GeV Au+Au min. bias p+p PRL 104, (2010)

45 Nuclear Modification Factor
Nuclear thickness TAA is evaluated via a Glauber model. TAA x sNN represent the number of NN collisions in the heavy ion reaction. A priori, if not final interaction with QCD medium RAA=1.

T.M & H. S. J/y suppression by quark-gluon plasma, PLB178, 416 (1986) J/ψ suppression in HIC SPS NA50 SPS NA60 RHIC Suppression observed (~40%); y’ suppression also measured; Drell-Yan relative normalization; Cold nuclear matter (CNM) absorption correction; Colour screening models worked; Other approaches (comover interaction, statistical models) not ruled out. Absorption cross-section in cold nuclear matter is not constant; Suppression still there (~20-30%); CNM nightmare (absorption, shadowing …); Only colour screening dissociation of y’ and cc? Suppression observed (~40-80%); Less suppression at high pT; Larger suppression at large rapidity; Nuclear modification factor normalization; CNM nightmare (absorption, shadowing, energy-loss); Recombination mechanism needed by colour screening models; Statistical production explains the data.

56 Conclusions QGP properties are being studied at RHIC and LHC colliders. At RHIC energies, QGP behaves as a ideal fluid, exhibits a high colour density, and it is formed at T above 300 MeV. At LHC energies, initial energy densities are a factor ~3 higher (15-26 GeV/fm3) than that at RHIC (30% higher T). First measurements at LHC indicates similar patterns than at RHIC. In addition, jet quenching decrease at high pT and jet quenching is also observed at LHC in the di-jet channel. Intriguing hints have been found in the quarkonium measurements at LHC, suggesting differences to the observation at RHIC. New era for QGP started in 2010 at LHC. Rapid progress on the characterization of the QGP in the next years.

57 QGP at LHC : more data needed.
A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were travelling through Scotland when they saw a black sheep through the window of the train. "Aha," says the engineer, "I see that Scottish sheep are black.” "Hmm," says the physicist, "You mean that some Scottish sheep are black.” "No," says the mathematician, "All we know is that there is at least one sheep in Scotland, and that at least one side of that one sheep is black!” “Fermat’s Enigma” by Simon Singh
