5 Hit saturation, grows with occupancy Sensitivity to flow reduced
Pixelized detector Hit saturation, grows with occupancy Sensitivity to flow reduced Can correct using analogue energy deposition –or- measure of occupied and unoccupied pads in local region assuming Poisson statistics Poisson occupancy correction Winter Workshop - Jamaica - S. Manly March, 2004

6 Acceptance (phase space) weighting
Octagonal detector Relative phase space weight in annular rings = <Nocc>-1 Require circular symmetry for equal phase space per pixel Pixel’s azimuthal phase space coverage depends on location Winter Workshop - Jamaica - S. Manly March, 2004

7 Non-flow Backgrounds flow signal Non-flow background

8 Background suppression
Beampipe Detector Demand energy deposition be consistent with angle h dE (keV) cosh h Background! Works well in Octagon Technique does not work in rings because angle of incidence is ~90 Winter Workshop - Jamaica - S. Manly March, 2004

Vtx holes h f RingsN Octagon RingsP Spec holes Detector symmetry issues where SPEC vertex efficiency highest Most data taken with trigger in place to enhance tracking efficiency Winter Workshop - Jamaica - S. Manly March, 2004

12 Offset vtx method f h Good azimuthal symmetry

Manly March, 2004

14 Dealing with the holes f h
Inner layer of vertex detector fills holes in top and bottom. Must map hits from Si with different pad pattern and radius onto a “virtual” octagon Si layer h f RingsN Octagon RingsP Winter Workshop - Jamaica - S. Manly March, 2004

15 Dealing with the holes f h
Fill spectrometer holes by extrapolating hit density from adjoining detectors onto a virtual Si layer. (Actual spec layer 1 is much smaller than the hole in the octagon.) h f RingsN Octagon RingsP Winter Workshop - Jamaica - S. Manly March, 2004

PHOBOS Preliminary PHOBOS 6-55% central Since there is STAR data for v1 available at 200 GeV, we can make a comparison. At mid-pseudorapidity, the measurements are consistent with zero. At high rapidity, it is non-zero. here: stress 2 things: at zero eta it's consistent with zero at eta=3 or 4 it's non-zero it doesn’t agree with STAR at eta = 3, but at this point can we stick our necks out and say that we don’t agree with STAR? no, I don’t think so. flat midrapidity...

27 Gives the famous dip in multiplicity distribution.
y vs.  Get a suppression in the spectra which is largest at low pt and small ||. It vanishes at large || and high pt. Gives the famous dip in multiplicity distribution. If integrating v2 over pt, get suppression of the lower pt part (where v2 is small) and the signal should rise. Winter Workshop - Jamaica - S. Manly March, 2004

28 This leads to an enhancement of inclusive v2 at mid-
P. Kolb, Proc. of 17th Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics (2001) Transformation of spectra from  to y leads to suppression of multiplicity at low pt and low || This leads to an enhancement of inclusive v2 at mid- ~10% T.

31 Directed flow measured at 19.6, 130 and 200 GeV
Conclusions Directed flow measured at 19.6, 130 and 200 GeV Mild disagreement with STAR about || where v1 kicks in, but both see flat slope at mid- v1 shows a limiting fragmentation behavior similar to the multiplicity v2() hit and track results agree. Likely there is very little non-flow correlations. Expect only small difference between v2() and v2(y). Hint of limiting fragmentation behavior in v2. Expect better results on this soon Winter Workshop - Jamaica - S. Manly March, 2004
