  1. Hadron emission source functions measured by PHENIX A. Enokizono - WPCF2011 Workshop on Particle Correlations and Fluctuations The University of Tokyo, Hongo, Japan, September 22, 2011 Oak Ridge National Laboratory Akitomo Enokizono

  2. Outline • Physics motivation • Imaging procedure • 1D and 3D source functions for charged pion • 1D source function for charged kaon • Experimental systematic uncertainties • Theoretical descriptions • Summary A. Enokizono - WPCF2011

  3. halo Core Many reasons not to be a simple Gaussian p-p correlation function M. Csanád, T. Csörgő and M. Nagy hep-hp/0702032 Strong FSI Anomalou diffusion Coulomb BEC Normal diffusion A. Enokizono - WPCF2011 Lavy type distribution “Core-Halo” model Traditional HBT analyses assume the Gaussian source, but no reason for the emission source to be Gaussian, and more reasonable to expect the source is a non-Gaussian shape in relativistic heavy-ion collisions due to resonance decay, rescatteringeffect, time-dependent expansion etc…

  4. Imaging correlation function is kernel which can be calculated from BEC and known final state interactions of pairs. is source function which represents the emission probability of pairs at r in the pair CM frame. D.A. Brown and P. Danielewicz, Phys. Rev. C 64, 014902 (2001) A. Enokizono - WPCF2011

  5. Optimization (parameters) rmax : Maximum r (minimum q) to be imaged. qscale = /2Δr Image Restore A. Enokizono - WPCF2011

  6. 1D source for charged pions PHENIX Au+Au 200GeV Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 132301 (2007) • The imaged source function deviate from the 3D angle averaged Gaussian source function at > 15-20 fm. • Resonance (omega) effect?, Kinetic effect? A. Enokizono - WPCF2011

  7. Centrality and momentum dependence of non-Gaussian • Long components (Rlr) depend on both kT and centrality. • Not consistent with a naïve assumption of omega resonance contribution. PHENIX Au+Au 200GeV Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 132301 (2007) A. Enokizono - WPCF2011

  8. Each component (e.g. life time, omega, kinetics. etc) seems to have different magnitude of contribution in the 3-D space. It is hard to figure out the origin of non-Gaussian structure just by looking at 1-D space. Theoretical explanation (1) D.A. Brown, R. Soltz, J. Newby, A. Kisiel Phys. Rev. C 76, 044906 (2007) A. Enokizono - WPCF2011

  9. Pion 3D source function Outwards PHENIX Au+Au 200GeV Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 232301 (2008) • Charged pion 3D S(r) is measured for the central Au+Au collision at 200GeV and compared with blast-wave model. • A model calculation with resonance decay + a finite emission duration agrees with the experimental result. Sidewards A. Enokizono - WPCF2011 Longitudinal

  10. 1D source for charged kaons PHENIX Au+Au 200GeV Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 142301 (2009) • The result is suggesting non-Gaussian structure in kaon emission function also. • Experimental systematic errors are big… A. Enokizono - WPCF2011

  11. Experimental Uncertainties (1) • Two track separation capability • Significant at low-q (large r) region • PID (e.g pion/kaon separation) • Pion contamination into Kaon data is more significant • Normalization factor (N) • C2 = N*A/B is obtained from 3D Gaussian (core-halo) fit. • Can avoid the uncertainty by imaging directly raw distributions (A. Kisiel & D.A Brown, Phys. Rev. C 80, 064911 (2009)) A. Enokizono - WPCF2011

  12. Experimental Uncertainties (2) Smeared/Unsmeard Momentum resolution: Real pair and background pair q distributions are smeared and enhance pairs in small-q. Z vertex resolution:Only background pairs are are affected by finite Zvertex. resolution for mixed event, and enchance pair in small-q. Central AuAu (~0.7mm), p+p (~2-3cm) A. Enokizono - WPCF2011 Num. of Pair

  13. Theoretical explanation (2) M. Csanád, T. Csörgő and M. Nagy, hep-hp/0702032 A. Enokizono - WPCF2011 The time dependent mean free path naturally creates non-Gaussian tails which depends on PID (largest for kaons - that have the smallest cross sections) The tailby hadronicrescattering reproduce the experimental non-Gaussian structure. (the Core-Core rescattering creates a significant non-Gaussianpart)

  14. Theoretical explanation (3) T. Hirano, WPCF2010 Pion Pion Without hadronic scattering and decay With hadronic scattering and decay A. Enokizono - WPCF2011 Kaon Kaon With hadronic scattering and decay Without hadronic scattering and decay

  15. Summary • PHENIX has measured 1D source function for charged pions, kasons and 3D source function for charged pions in Au+Au 200GeV • Non-Gaussian tails are observed for both pions and kaons which still has a large experimental uncertainty • Non-Gaussian tail is not simply explained by omega resonance decay only. • Data are reasonably reproduced by hydro models with resonance decay + rescattering • Need to be careful about the experimental systematic errors which is most significant at small q, i.e large rof the S(r).
