3 dN ch /d  4-detector strategy for the initial RHIC program has turned out to be excellent: Adequate overlap - Impressive agreement between all experiments Complementary PHOBOS Mission Flexibility to Respond to First Results Low P t Phenomena Early “Big Picture”

4 We would have liked More data Energy scan Species scan A larger BNL Group Bottom line: RHIC environment has been good for PHOBOS Strong support -from management ~for BNL Group ~for 20 GeV Run -from CAD Result: PHOBOS has achieved to date more than we could have hoped for >50% of our mission complete BUT

7 What is the “Big Picture” as seen by PHOBOS?

8  PHOBOS 130 GeV PRL 87,102301,2001 p/p K – /K +  PHOBOS 200 GeV PRC 67, 021901(R), 2003 A+A central collisions Baryon density at mid-rapidity rapidly decreases with energy

9 Initially released energy density >5GeV/fm 3 Note: energy density inside proton ≈ 0. 5GeV/fm 3 Total energy released ~2000GeV Max. initial overlap volume Energy density high; system must be partonic Number of Particles Produced at y=0 Energy of Collision crossover PRL 88, (2002) 22302

10 PHOBOS preliminary h + + h - 200 GeV Au+Au 0<  <1.5 (top 55%) v 2 17% scale error PeripheralCentral Medium is highly interactive Elliptic flow: PRL 89 (2002) 222301

11 Au+Au  s NN =200 GeV 15% central -0.1< y <0.4 (++)(++) (K + +K – ) (p+p) PHOBOS preliminary p T [GeV/c] 1/ (2  p T )d 2 N/dydp T Very few low momentum particles because of flow

12 Jet-quenching: further evidence that medium interacts strongly and that parton density is very high. 0.2<y   <1.4 Data: PHOBOS, nucl-ex/0302015 Submitted to Phys Lett B peripheral central

13 central Au+Au All syst. uncertainties: 90% C.L. PHOBOS d+Au: nucl-ex/0306025, submitted to PRL Jet-quenching is not an initial state effect! central dAu recent dAu data

14 Comparisons with models

15 Rapidity Density 600 1200 PHOBOS Central Au+Au (200 GeV) Compilation by K. Eskola Color Glass Hadron multiplicities at RHIC well described by Parton Saturation Particle Multiplicity Kharzeev & Levin, Phys. Lett. B523 (2001) 79 Data: PHOBOS, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 102303 (2001) From Eskola, QM 2000

16 dAu data disfavor initial state interpretation of Au+Au high-p T suppression For example, Vitev(pQCD) predicts 15% increase Kharzeev, Levin, McLerran (parton saturation) predict 25-30% decrease over this range of centrality PHOBOS d+Au: nucl-ex/0306025, submitted to PRL All syst. uncertainties: 90% C.L.

17 Some surprises Accidental, trivial or profound?

18 Collision viewed in rest frame of CM: 19.6 GeV130 GeV 200 GeV PHOBOS Central Collisions Peripheral Collisions  dN d  PHOBOS Au+Au dN ch /d  / /2 6% central p + p dN/d  UA5 Collision viewed in rest frame of one nucleus: Limiting fragmentation is valid in AA collisions! PRL in press

19 200GeV130GeV 19.6GeV (PRELIMINARY) Au+Au yields normalized to corresponding pp value for all three energies pp Errors from Au+Au only PHOBOS Au+Au 19.6 GeV preliminary 130 GeV 200 GeV PRC 65 (2002) 061901R pp Scaling with N part of midrapidity multiplicity inconsistent with naïve expectations: Slow quark Fast quark Data inconsistent with the following picture: Midrapidity |  |<1 dN ch /d 

20 Preliminary v 2 200 Final v 2 130 PHOBOS Au-Au v2v2  200 GeV 130 GeV ~190 Flow is anything but boost invariant! PRL 89, 222301

21 Au+Au Number of Particles Produced Energy of Collision Amazing similarity of multiplicity in e + e - and AA collisions e+e-e+e- Submitted to PRL

22 PHOBOS, nucl-ex/0302015,submitted to Phys. Lett. B Why high P T particle yield scales approximately with N part ? Is medium completely opaque? Are high P T particles emitted only from surface?

23 PHOBOS Research program is >50% completed What are the needs to complete PHOBOS mission?

24 At what energy does jet-quenching switch off? 1. Energy scan Where located? Submitted to Phys. Lett. B

25 2. Species scan AuAudAu Also needed for better understanding of the geometry of the collision, in particular for peripheral collisions

26 3. More AuAu data at maximum energy for fluctuation studies,  K + K -, etc. 4. More pp at 200 GeV and pp at 400-500 GeV -baseline for comparisons with AuAu

27 Summary 4 detector strategy is working well –Where there is overlap, impressive agreement between all detectors RHIC environment has given PHOBOS the opportunity to complete >50% of its planned research program PHOBOS collaboration served well by the BNL PHOBOS Group –In operations –In data handling –In physics analysis The contribution of PHOBOS to the RHIC mission –Major contribution in obtaining early on in the program the “Big Picture” –Observation of several unexpected results Scaling properties Similarities with e + e - collisions –Pioneered the use of ROOT, (and more recently PROOF) in HI community

28 Unfinished parts of PHOBOS mission –High statistics AuAu and pp runs @ 200 GeV –Species scan –Energy scan –pp at 400 or 500 GeV Phobos has some unique capabilities -we would like to finish the program in a timely fashion Summary continued
