summary

STARSTAR

previous results and motivation

STARSTAR

two effects: relative to p+p collisions spectral suppression B/M enhancement in Au+Au

effect are turned on and off dependent on centrality

how can one understand these effects? system size dependence energy* dependence

* discussed in the previous talk by Bedanga

Phys.Rev.Lett. 91 (2003) 072304

Phys.Rev.Lett. 97 (2006) 152301

Phys.Lett. B637 (2006) 161previous results:

inclusive spectra & B/M ratio

STARSTAR motivation:

1. why high-pT?

why do we look at high-pT? cartoon showing the

relative effects of Npart and Ncoll scaling

calculable by pQCD

2. why identified particles? why do we look at identified

particles? at high-pT affords insight into

gluon and quark jet production

gluon jets produce more baryons than quark jets

a probe relative energy loss for quark and gluon jets expected, but not seen

Phys.Lett. B606 (2005) 303

3. why Cu+Cu?

smaller system-size is Central Cu+Cu ~

Central Au+Au? or Central Cu+Cu ~

Peripheral Au+Au?

observe path length effects of energy loss

with Cu+Cu can explore the turn on of the suppression

data analysis

STARSTAR data: analysis

analysis summary

low-pT (0.2<pT<1.2) energy loss in TPC clear particle separation

low- to intermediate-pT (0.2<pT<3.0) TOF clear particle separation

high-pT (pT>2.5) relativistic rise of energy loss in TPC statistical separation

1012-17 February 2007

STARSTAR data: analysis @ low-pT

analysis summary direct identification from

separated bands at low-pT

4-gaus fits determine the yield

• -, e-, K-,pbar

data are then corrected for feed-down track efficiency

Negative Particles

1112-17 February 2007

STARSTAR data: analysis @ high-pT

analysis summary use the relativistic rise of

energy loss at high-pT

estimate K contribution from bin-counting

3-gaus fits (with K fixed)

data are then corrected for feed-down track efficiency

variety of methods for the kaon contribution are used: bin counting, K0 data and TOF data

anti-particle to particle ratios

and pbar/p ratios: no centrality

dependence similar pT dependence

as found in Au+Au collisions

pbar/p consistent with Vitev model

Phys.Rev.C 71 (2005) 041901

1512-17 February 2007

nuclear modification factor

systematic differences in RAA between and p data data are flatter with pT (at high-pT) p data have a weak centrality dependence

1612-17 February 2007

proton/pion ratios

baryon/meson enhancement

intermediate-pT enhancement in baryon production is observed maximal enhancement at

pT~2GeV/c

centrality independent for pT>5GeV/c

STARSTAR

data interpretation

how do the new data compare to existing data?

1812-17 February 2007

STARSTAR Cu+Cu data:

questions:

how do Cu+Cu and Au+Au compare? fractional cross-section number of collisions/participant number of particles produced (Nch at mid-rapidity)

i.e. Cu+Cu (0-20%) =? Au+Au (0-20%) or Cu+Cu (Npart) =? Au+Au (Npart)* or Cu+Cu (Nch) =? Au+Au (Nch)

* Note that from a Glauber

Model calculation, the

functional form of Ncoll is the

same for Au+Au and Cu+Cu

collisions

path length effects

centrality dependence probes different jet propagation lengths

system-size dependence adds additional new dimension

path length effects enhancement of

baryons gluon jets are more easily

propagated? more gluon jets initially produced or induced for more central data?

need further differential analysis to investigate this versus reaction plane?

• current statistics too limited for this analysis

STARSTAR

summary we have a systematic data sample of

identified and p(p) measured at RHIC

systematic effects are observed versus the system size of the collision suppression at large transverse

momenta (RAA) for larger system sizes(i.e. more central data)

enhanced p/ ratio at intermediate pT

Nch scaling for low- and high-pT particles

further differential measurements are needed to help determine the precise nature of the collision dynamics

why more baryons in gluon jets?

e++e- collisionsgluon jets result in:

• softer fragmentation function• higher multiplicities

softer → energy must go into particle productionmore particlesheavier particles
