  1. Role of Dynamic Geometry in Jet Tomography William Horowitz Columbia University December 12, 2005 In conjunction with Simon Wicks, Magdalenda Djordjevic, and Miklos Gyulassy Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  2. Motivation • Past tomographic models simplified the calculation by neglecting either: • Multigluon fluctuations • Path length fluctuations • For fixed-length calculations, reasonable but unjustifiable length L~5 fm used Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  3. Significance of Nuclear Profile • Simpler densities create a surface bias Hard Cylinder Hard Sphere Woods-Saxon Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop Toy model for purely geometric radiative loss from Drees, Feng, Jia, Phys. Rev. C.71:034909

  4. Edgy Geometry • We use the Woods-Saxon nuclear geometry, which has a fuzzy “edge” • There is no unique, natural LWS definition • Two examples (of many possibilities): • We will use the latter formula Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  5. Partonic RAA Model • where Pincoherently convolves DGLV energy loss (including multigluon fluctuations) with the infinite-time elastic energy loss for fixedas Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop Momentum Jacobian as survival probability; see, e.g., Gyulassy, nucl-th/0403032

  6. Volume Emission of Partons • fixed pT = 15 GeV, yT = f = 0, and as = .3 Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  7. Average Lengths of Emission • Dynamic volume depends on partonic species and pT • For pT = 5, 10, 15, 20 GeV, as = .3 • <Lg> = 1.74, 1.93, 2.16, 2.41 fm • <Lu> = 3.83, 4.21, 4.47, 4.62 fm • <Lc> = 4.65, 4.43, 4.48, 4.50 fm • <Lb> = 6.17, 5.69, 5.43, 5.29 fm Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  8. Electrons Pions The Results as = .3 Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  9. Electrons Pions The Results as = .4 Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  10. Conclusions • There are several large effects that must be taken into account in any energy loss model: • Multigluon fluctuations • Path length fluctuations • Collisional energy loss • Running as Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  11. Future Work • Find more accurate analytic formulae for collisional loss • Molnár’s parton cascade provides exact numerical answer • Simultaneously treat elastic and inelastic energy loss • Find a more natural L? Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  12. Future Work (cont’d) • Allow as to run • Nonzero lower bound to theoretical error • Use even more accurate medium density • Hirano’s CGC-initial condition 3+1 D evolving hydro background Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  17. Partonic RAA Model • Exploit the power law production rate to use the momentum Jacobian to define the probability of escape, (1-e)n • pT, final = e pT, initial • n is simply related to the exponent of the power law • Assumes a slowly changing power law Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  18. Combining Models • Find a fixed L that reproduces the dynamical length-generated partonic RAA using proper initial spectra followed by fragmentation into pions and electrons Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  19. Vary as • We expect a big change since • DErad ~ as3 • DEelas ~ as2 Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  20. Heavies Lights Finding Fixed L Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  21. Heavies alph=.4 BT and TG Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  22. Theoretical Error from Length Uncertainty Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  23. Volume Emission foras = .4 Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop

  24. Volume Emission for as = .4 (cont’d) Heavy Flavor Productions Workshop
