4 Birger Back/ANLBreckenridge, Feb 5-12, 2005 -4- dN/d  basics

5 Birger Back/ANLBreckenridge, Feb 5-12, 2005 -5- dN/d  shapes Midrapidity plateau Boost invariant? Increase with energy Fall off at high  Increase with energy Small extrapolation into unmeasured region Au+Au PHOBOS PRL 91,52303 (2003)

6 Birger Back/ANLBreckenridge, Feb 5-12, 2005 -6- Why mid-rapidity? Emphasize produced or scattered particles 200 GeV Au+Au 0-6% central

7 Birger Back/ANLBreckenridge, Feb 5-12, 2005 -7- Where are particles emitted? 22% Only 22% emitted with p T > p L However, these particles carry information about the densest region formed in the collisions

8 Birger Back/ANLBreckenridge, Feb 5-12, 2005 -8- What would an isotropic source look like? Isotropic emission: 1/cosh 2 

9 Birger Back/ANLBreckenridge, Feb 5-12, 2005 -9- dN/d  @  =0

10 Birger Back/ANLBreckenridge, Feb 5-12, 2005 -10- Pre-RHIC theoretical predictions

13 Birger Back/ANLBreckenridge, Feb 5-12, 2005 -13- Energy density estimates? Absolute maximum: Total available energy: Volume at instant of overlap: Instantaneous energy density: Not equilibrated matter Birger’s estimate: Isotropic energy: Volume after  0 =1 fm/c: Equilibrated energy density:

14 Birger Back/ANLBreckenridge, Feb 5-12, 2005 -14- Bjorken estimate of energy density Phenix: E T measurement at 130 GeV  0 = 4.6 [GeV/fm 3 ] PRL 87, 052301 (2001) NA49: E T measurement at 17 GeV  0 = 3 [GeV/fm 3 ] PRL 75, 3814 (1995) Brahms Conclusion: All reasonable estimates are substantially larger than the predicted transition density of  0 = 0.7-1.0 GeV/fm 3

15 Birger Back/ANLBreckenridge, Feb 5-12, 2005 -15- N coll or N part scaling at  =0 for soft particles? ~N coll ~N part Hard collisions Q N coll Soft collisions QN part Both energies: x=0.13F0.01(stat) F0.05(syst) PHOBOS: PRC70, 021902 (2004) /3.3 x1.7 pp PHOBOS PRC 70, 21902 (2004)
