1 Theory Update on Energy Loss
W. A. Horowitz The Ohio State University June 8, 2010 With many thanks to Brian Cole, Miklos Gyulassy, Jiangyong Jia, and Yuri Kovchegov 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

2 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
Why High-pT Particles? Tomography in medicine One can learn a lot from a single probe… and even more with multiple probes SPECT-CT Scan uses internal g photons and external X-rays PET Scan 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

3 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
Tomography in QGP Indep. check on hydro geom. meas. vital for quant. h/s Requires well-controlled theory of: production of rare, high-pT probes g, u, d, s, c, b in-medium E-loss hadronization Requires precision measurements of decay fragments pT f , g, e- Invert attenuation pattern => measure medium properties Alt: learn about med & E-loss 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

4 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
pQCD Success at RHIC: (circa 2005) Y. Akiba for the PHENIX collaboration, hep-ex/ Consistency: RAA(h)~RAA(p) Null Control: RAA(g)~1 GLV Prediction: Theory~Data for reasonable fixed L~5 fm and dNg/dy~dNp/dy 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

5 Irony of Multiple Observables (I)
v2 too small NPE supp. too large p0 v2 C. Vale, QM09 Plenary (analysis by R. Wei) WHDG Wicks, WAH, Gyulassy, Djordjevic, NPA784 (2007) NPE v2 PHENIX, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, (2007) 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

6 Irony of Multiple Observables (II)
IAA WHDG soon Baryon/Meson Ratio STAR pT pQCD w/ KKP pQCD w/ DSS WAH, in preparation Jamie Nagle, QM09 Pert. at LHC energies? 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

7 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
Comments on NPE (I) c/b production ~ FONLL predictions Large b contribution STAR & PHENIX now consistent in p+p RAA? Bertrand Biritz, QM09 Wei Xie, DIS10 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

8 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
Comments on NPE (II) NB: pQCD calculations so far assume M << E b corrections likely large c and b separation Success of AdS/CFT? dpT/dt = - m pT m = pl1/2 T2/2Mq WAH, PhD Thesis 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

9 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
Comments on v2 (I) Data improves, pQCD falsified to higher pT Does v2 becomes constant, >> pQCD? Rui Wei, for PHENIX, QM09 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

10 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
Comments on v2 (II) CGC, fluctuations not enough for pQCD AdS/CFT: DE ~ L3 Better job? Glauber CGC Solid: analytic Dashed: fluctuating PHENIX p0 WAH and J Jia, in preparation Marquet and Renk, PLB685 (2010) 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

11 Theoretical Uncertainties: Different Formalisms, Different Results
Very diff. ideas about relevant physics pQCD AMY, BDMPS, GLV, HT Is this a systematic th. unc.? Can we falsify? Bass et al., Phys.Rev.C79: 024901,2009 What about AdS/CFT? 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

12 Mechanics of Energy Loss
RAA ~ ∫(1-ϵ)n P(ϵ) dϵ pf = (1-ϵ)pi Opacity expansions finds single inclusive gluon emission spectrum dNg/dxdkTdqT 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

13 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
Poisson Convolution Find P(ϵ) by convolving dNg/dx Approximates probabilistic multiple gluon emission, Sudakov assume independent emissions NB: ϵ is a momentum fraction Gyulassy, Levai, and Vitev NPB594 (2001) 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

14 Opacity Expansion Calculation
Want to find dNg/dx Make approximations to simplify derivation Small angle emission: kT << xE Note: ALL current formalisms use collinear approximation Derived dNg/dxdkT violates collinear approx Both IR and UV safe Enforce small angle emission through UV cutoff in kT 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

15 Uncertainty from Collinear Approx
Derived dNg/dxdkT maximally violates collinear approximation WAH and B Cole, PRC81, 2010 dNg/dx depends sensitively on kT cutoff Despite UV safety For effect on extracted prop., must understand x 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

16 Two Standard x Definitions
ASW-SH: xE Energy fraction GLV: x+ Plus momentum fraction P NB: gluon always on-shell 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

17 Coordinate Transformations
Same in the limit kT/xE → 0! UV cutoff given by restricting maximum angle of emission Previous comparisons with data took qmax=p/2 Vary qmax to estimate systematic theoretical uncertainty P q 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

18 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
Jacobians ϵ is fraction of longitudinal momentum Need dNg/dxE to find P(ϵ) A Jacobian is required for x = x+ interpretation 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

19 Rad. Gluon Kin. Sensitivities
UV What about IR? WAH and B Cole, PRC81, 2010 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

20 Collinearity and Gluon Mass
Massless gluons: Large IR cutoff sensitivity Gluons with thermal mass ~ BDMS, JHEP 0109 (2001) Larger x better respects kT << xE 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010 WAH and B Cole, PRC81, 2010

21 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
Results Quantitatively compare to PHENIX data Assumed infinite Elastic precision WAH and B Cole, PRC81, 2010 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

22 Parton Energy Dependence
Dependence on parton energy Uncertainty on qhat Assume all formalisms equally affected WAH and B Cole, PRC81, 2010 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

23 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
v2 Variation Fix dNg/dy from RAA, calculate v2 Expect larger v2 for smaller opening angle IAA: coming soon Rad Only Rad + El v2 pT 20-30% p0 20-30% p0 v2 pT WAH, in preparation 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010

24 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
Conclusions pQCD in HI collisions is in trouble Multiple observables not simul. well described Fewer and fewer places for pQCD to hide Important future exp work: is there a pQCD regime? (higher pT) v2: Difficult (impossible?) to deconvolute geometry & E-loss > L2 dependence (AdS/CFT?), but Need for e-RHIC (also for h/s) NPE: Separate c and b: c is under better th. control Future theory work: Compute more obs (IAA, etc.) Remove collinear, M<<E approx Uncertainties in AdS/CFT, pQCD => Falsification 12/7/2018 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting 2010
