  15. ALICE Physics GoalsALICE PPR, 2004, J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys. 30, 1517-1763 • Heavy ion observables in ALICE • Particle multiplicities • Particle spectra • Particle correlations • Fluctuations • Jet physics • Direct photons • Dileptons • Heavy-quark and quarkonium production • p-p and p-A physics in ALICE • Physics of ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions • Contribution of ALICE to cosmic-ray physics

  16. Charmonium (J/,c ,') production (theory & experiment) The production of J/ and other charmonium states would be suppressed because of: -- dissociation by impact of gluons at the pre-resonance stage. (D. Kharzeev et al. Z. Phys. C 74 (1997) 307.) -- an absorbtion via the interaction in the hot and dense nuclear matter. (N.Armesto et al. Phys.Rev. C 59(1999) 395; J.Geiss et al. Phys.Lett. B 447 (1999) 31) -- Debye screening of the quark colour charge in the QGP stage, (T.Matsui, H.Satz. Phys.Lett. B178(1986) or in the pre-QGP stage (mixed phase) via creation of the percolationclusters inthe parton percolation model (favorable in last few years) (M.Nardi, H.Zatz. Phys.Lett. B 442(1998)14; S.Digal, S.Fortunato, H.Satz. BI-TP 2003/30.)..

  17. Parton percolation model: Full QGP stage is reached if the temperature and the density is sufficient, otherwise in the pre-equilibrium stagethe local clusters only with QGP inside arecreated by the percolation mechanizm, i.e.the mixed phase (ofpartons and hadrons)appears . The Lorentz-contraction makes the nuclei as two thin disks during 0.1 fm at RHIC. Parton density increases with overlapping of partons and creation of percolation clusters - the condensate of deconfined partons. The percolation condition is np=Nr2/R2 1.128 where N is number of partons with size r ( r is found from the uncertainty relation r2/<k2T>, kT - partron momentum), R is nuclear radius (R » r) The expected evolution of nuclear collision. Partonic cluster structure in the transverse collision plane.

  18. The cluster size shows the critical behavior, since it increases suddenly near the critical parton density np, i.e. percolation condition starts from some experimental ones : A - number, energy, centrality of the A-A collision. The fractional cluster size and its derivative as function of the parton density n. Charmonium suppression. The tipical time of 0.2 -0.3 fm needs for formation of the charmonium and alsoof the parton condensate.If the charmonium is created inside the percolation cluster it can be dissociated by the colour charge screening if rs < rch, where rs and rchare the screening and charmonium radii respectively. The charmonium radii are: rJ/(0.9 GeV)-1, r (0.6GeV)-1,r’(0.45 GeV)-1. The screening radius is rs = 1/Qs, Qsis screeningscale depending from the parton dencity.

  19. The screening scale Qs has the critical behaviour from the centrality (Npartis the number of nucleon - participants). The charmonium dissociation has two steps in the SPS: for  and c at Npart 150 (blue arrow) and for J/ at Npart 250 ( green arrow) No such behaviour is predicted at the RHIC and particulaly at the LHC.   Charmonium dissociation as function of centrality. S = (J/)/(DY) Sn = S for p-A collisions described by the normal absorptions in the nuclear matter (‘normal’ suppression). Two drops of ‘anomalous’ suppression in Pb-Pb are seen at Npart 150 and at Npart 250 in correspondence to the prediction. There is also prediction of strong  suppression but the experimental results are still absent.  S/Sn  The measured J/p suppression as function of centrality from NA-50 experiment at SPS.

  20. J/+- and detection in ALICE Muon pairs will be detected in the ALICE forward muon spectrometer in the pseudorapidity interval 2.5 <  <4 and with the mass resolutions about 70 (100) MeV/c2 for J/(). The simulation was carried out for 10% more central Pb-Pb events by the fast code including acceptance cuts and detector efficiencies and resolutions. The statistics corresponds to the one month running time at the luminosity of 51026cm-2s-1. 2.3 105 J  at S/B = 0.72, 1800   at S/B = 7.1, 540   at S/B = 2.5, 260   at S/B = 1.5. All other muon sources (the decays of , K, D, B) were included in the simulation. The trigger cut for muon pt > 1.0 GeV/c was used. Effective mass spectra of () pairs

  21. J/ e+ e-detection in ALICE To study J/e+e- (at || < 1) the TRD and TPC will be used. To find the suppression factor the comparison with a production of opencharm particles is supposed (selection of Drell-Yan process is problematical). The preliminary simulation was done for 5105 Pb-Pb central events using the TRD for electron identification. . J/ J/ S/B = 0.5 (e+e-) J/ production at 2.5 < pt < 4 GeV/c (e+e-) J/ production from B meson decay (must be taken into account because they are not suppressed)

  22. Light vector mesons production (, ,  ) (theory & experiment) -- The enhancement of  yield ( N/(N+N) ) in central Pb-Pb events as compared to p-p and p-A interactions: up to factor 10 because the supression of Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka rule and a large abundance of strange quarks in the QGP, (A.Shor. Phys.Rev.Lett. 54 (1985) 1122). up to factors 3-4 because the secondary collisions in the nuclear matter (if QGP is not reached). (P.Koch et al. Z.Phys. C 47 (1990) 477). The experimental result is 3.0±0.7 for Pb-Pb at Ebeam=158 A GeV (NA-49, CERN, SPS). .

  23. Light vector mesons production(, ,  )(theory & experiment) -- The significant decrease of  and  masses (by factor up to 150 MeV/c2) because partial chiral symmetry restoration in the QGP stage (small effect is for  since the isospin structure differs from the  one). The effect may be seen in leptonic decay mode (no interactions in the nuclear matter) and only for e+e- in ALICE ( peak is not seen in the level of high combinatorial background since the width is too large). ( M.Asakava, C.M.Ko. Phys,Lett. B 332 (1994) 33) The experimental result shows an evidence of the mass shift for 0e+e- in Pb-Pb at 160 A GeV (NA-45, CERN, SPS). .

  24. Light vector mesons production(, ,  ) (theory & experiment) --The increase of  width by factor 2-3 because of: - Decrease of kaon mass as a consequence of chiral symmetry restoration near the temperature of phase transition to QGP. (D.Lissauer and E.Shuryak. Phys.Lett. B 253 (1991) 15) --Rescattering of kaons from  decays in the hot and dense nuclear matter. (C.Jonson et al. Phys. Journ. C 18 (2001) 645) The effect may be seen in ALICE by studing of K+K- decays or by comparison of this decay mode with the e+e-. There is no experimental evidence for this effect. But 30% difference was found in the slope of pt spectra for  meson obtained from (K+K-) or (+-) decay modes (in the Pb-Pb at 158 A GeV, CERN SPS). This effect may be explained by the rescattering of kaons in the nuclear matter.

  25. Light vector mesons detection in ALICE To detect the e+e-, e+e-, K+K- decays the ITS, TPC, TOF and TRD of ALICE will be used for tracking and particle identificatuon. The simulation was done for the ITS, TPC and TOF using the GEANT-3, HIJING model and the last experimental data (the TRD will be includedas well). To select the resonance peaks from very high combinatorial background the special cuts were used. . Background before the cuts   After the specials cut (S/B = 0.05) For 5 107 Pb-Pb central events (one month ALICE run)

  26. Light vector mesons detction in ALICE To study theK+K-decays the ITS, TPC and TOF were applied for the simulation To select the resonance peaks from the combinatorial background the cuts were used for pt of (K+K-) pair. . S/B = 0.06 For 106 Pb-Pb central events. signal after (K+K+)backgroundsubtraction with the gaussian fit. The fit results are for the  : mass = 1019.6  0.04 MeV/c2, widht = 4.43  0.12 MeV/c2

  27. Momentum correlations (HBT) Formalism: Following to Richard Hanbury-Brown and Robert Twiss (HBT) methodfor an estimation of star sizes JINR physicists G.I.Kopylov & M.I.Podgorecky suggested to studythe space - time parameters of sources producing identical particlesusing the correlation function withBose- Einstein interferometric effect : 4vectors: q = p1- p2 , x = x1- x2 (space-time sizes) CF=1+(-1)Scosqx where S = j2, j - spin In practice: Projections of themomentum difference ql, qo, qs are used to the correspondence axis: l- ‘longitudional’ (beam) direction; o -‘outward’ direction parallel to transverse pair velocity; s - ‘sideward’ direction transverse to ‘longitudional’ and ‘outward’ S(Qinv)yield of pairs from same event B(Qinv)pairs from “mixed” event N normalization factor, used to normalize the CF to be unity at large,

  28. Momentum correlations (HBT) HBT and the QGP RHIC correlations results & “HBT Puzzle” ( - time of emission duration) ·Pratt PRD 1314 (`86): fireball + EOS (Equation of State):  ~ 90 fm/c (long emission duration) ·Bertsch NPA 173 (89) QGP + cascade: ~ 12 fm/c(long emission duration) ·Hydro calculation of Rischke &Gyulassy NPA 608 (1996) 479: Rout/Rside ~ 2-4 ·Soff, Bass, Dumitru (PRL86) microscopic transport + hydro with phase transition: Still expect Rout/Rside>1 • HBT radii decrease with kT (strong flow) • HBT radii increase with increasing centrality (geometrical radius also increases • RO / RS~ 1 (short emission duration) • No significant changes in correlation radii AGS SPS RHIC (5 - 6 fm) Transport models and hydro calculations strongly overestimate out and long radii at RHIC. The RHIC data thus points to a new physics: Explosive fireball decay ? AGS: SPS RHIC

  29. Momentum correlations (HBT) Simulations of particle correlations in ALICE . The different particles systems that can be study by ALICE simulation chain using Lednicky’s algorithm. It performs the calculation of the weight of particle pair according with quantum statistic and FSI effects.

  30. Momentum correlations (HBT) To study particle correlations the ITS, TPC, TOF and TRD of ALICE will be used for tracking and particle identification. The simulation was done for the ITS, TPC and TOF using the GEANT code. Influence of particles identification and resolutions effects in ALICE detectors: TPC, ITS, TOF on correlation functions was studied using HIJING model and Lednitsky’s algorithm for calculation of particle correlations. Example:Qinv for CF of (π,π). Perfect PID, resolution effects in TPC only, PID by dE/dx in TPC and impact parameter of the track Example:Qinv for CF of (K+,K-). Perfect PID, resolution effects in TPC only

  31. HBT for direct photons The direct photon interferometry is important for investigation of the very early phase of heavy ion collisions. The following correlation function is considerd: (WA98, CERN. M.Aggarwal et al. Phys.Rev.Lett.93 022301(2004)) 1) The radius Rinv = 5.40.8 fm is near to the one for charged pions. 2)The yield of direct photons was extracted from the equation The results show dominant contribution to the hadronic phase of the direct photon emission. Yield of direct photons versus pT.
