  12. Potentially first evidence of radiation from a hot source Red is PHENIX data on photons not from decay Dashed blue  pQCD expectation Black line prediction from pQCD and photons from a source at 500 MeV >> 170 MeV!

  15. Hydrodynamical models confirm Large pressures Substantial collective motion Viscocity = 0 Heavy quarks flow Expect much less flow since heavy particles rescatter less Strongly interacting, perfect fluid! Greco,Ko,Rapp: PLB595(2004)202 Evidence for New Matter: Strongly-Interacting QGP Non-photonic electrons, dominantly decays of heavy quarks: c and b. N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  23. Incoherent multiple scattering increases the acoplanarity of di-jet pairs Not measured in data because of the suppression of the distribution Broadening of the Away-side Distribution QGP rest frame N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  24. Suppression Summary as of 2002 • Single particles are strongly suppressed • Away-side correlations are suppressed • Explained in terms of parton energy loss • Color (gluon) density dN/dy ~ 1000 • Expected broadening of the away side • Not measured due to the strong suppression N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  25. Contribution of this Thesis • First systematic study of jet correlations in nuclear collisions • Study the cold nuclear medium modification in d+Au compared to p+p • Study the hot, dense nuclear medium modification • Extend the pT reach of previous analyses (more jet-like) • Extract other distributions N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  26. d+Au Au+Au = cold medium = hot and dense medium Initial State Effects Only Initial + Final State Effects Importance of a Systematic Study N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  27. Single particle spectrum is enhanced and not suppressed! Contrast with the final state suppression of single particles from Au+Au PRL 91, 072303 (2003) Single particle Spectrum in d+Au N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  28. Multiple elastic scattering increase parton transverse momentum, kT. Smears single particle spectrum Measure kT from final state pair pT Drell-Yan Pair pT of leptons is pair pT of quarks Same for di-jets But the jets fragment kT due to Confinement Hard gluon radiation, i.e. 23 diagrams Cronin Effect: Parton Transverse Momentum N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  29. Factor of 2 increase from p+p to p+Pb Increases as A1/3 – length of the medium Test to see if this increase is as dramatic at RHIC g+A andp+Aoffset due to an effect from jet reconstruction After offset all data agree point-to-point Direct Measure of kT Broadening in Nuclear Collisions N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  30. Trigger p0 from 5-10 GeV/c Increase in di-jet distribution should be seen in away-side Correlations in p+p and d+Au N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  31. Jet Acoplanarity Difference Between p+p and d+Au J. Qiu, I. Vitev PLB 570 161 (2003) p0 – crosses p+/- – circles Multiple scattering model not inconsistent with the data. N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  32. Why No Significant Difference Between p+p and d+Au? • “Intrinsic” kT larger than the kT due to multiple scattering. • More hard gluon radiation at higher root-s • Could it be recombination (Hwa and Yang)? • Shower (fragmented) partons recombining with the soft (radiated) background • Initially predicted factor of 2 increase in the near angle yield (R. Hwa, C.B. Yang: PRC 70,054902 (2004)) N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  33. Hwa and Tan, nucl-th/0503060 Ratio to p+p Associated Particle Yields N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  34. Conclusions About Jet Correlations in d+Au Collisions • Two-particle correlations: d+Au like p+p • Lack of acoplanarity increase • Yields and acoplanarity are consistent with multiple scattering picture • And consistent with recombination picture. • Conclusion: Need different observables N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  35. Away-side jet seen in correlations with high trigger and associated pT Distribution seen to measure broadening! STAR Preliminary D. Magestro QM2005 Trigger h 8-15 Associated h > 2 Away-Side Jet at High pT in Au+Au 0-20% N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  36. Far angle widths unchanged from p+p through central Au+Au! 8 < pT(trig) < 15 GeV/c Extracted Away-Side Jet Widths at High pT 5-7 GeV/c(open), 7-10 GeV/c N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  37. pout,F directly related to kTy From gluon radiation from energy loss/suppression expect kT broadening Correlation widths reveal lack of broadening… assoc. Pout.F Df trigg. pout: Alternative Observable for Broadening Component of associated pT transverse to trigger N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  38. pout Distribution from jet only Removed flow and background Broadening in kT would be seen in broadening of the pout distribution Distribution is approximately Gaussian: dominated by intrinsic kT pout Distributions 5-7 GeV/c p0 1-10 GeV/c h N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  39. Fit distribution with Gaussian RMS of Gaussian is unchanged with centrality Lack of broadening is not seen in pout Bands are error due to assumed v2 value Broadening of pout N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  40. At lower pT suppression of yields in away-side measured Suppression is also evident from STAR data 8 < pT(trig) < 15 GeV/c No broadening but Suppression N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  41. Measure the yield of particles per trigger as a function of xE Compare central to peripheral distribution, ICP If trigger emitted at the surface ICP ~ RCP If trigger near center ICP ~ 1 Sensitive to differential energy loss between the particles trigg. assoc. Measurement of Yields: dN/dxE N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  42. xE distribution due to jets only xE Distributions 5-7 GeV/c p0 1-10 GeV/c h N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  43. Ratio of central 0-20% to peripheral 40-92% Weighted average of the data shows suppression! 11% normalization error band at 1 Point-to-point band error due to v2 Comparison of Central to Peripheral 5-7 GeV/c p0 1-10 GeV/c h N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  44. Trigger pT dependence of average ICP 20-40%/40-92% (open) 0-20%/40-92% (closed) Suppression increases with centrality, independent of pTtrig. Possible evidence for differential energy loss ICP between RCP and 1 ~RCP ~RCP Centrality and pTDependence of ICP N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  45. Conclusions from Au+Au Di-jets Correlations • Away-side jet is seen at high pT in central Au+Au • Away-side distribution is not broadened • p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au widths are similar • Away-side yield is suppressed when comparing central and peripheral N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05

  46. Implications for Energy Loss Models in Au+Au • Energy loss picture before Aug 2005 • Yield of single particles and away-side pairs from gluon radiation • Broadening is the natural consequence of incoherent multiple scattering • Data shows • Single particles and away-side pairs are suppressed • Distribution is not broadened • What does this imply for energy loss? • Coherent gluon radiation? A cone of radiation? • What property of the medium are the correlations sensitive to? • Color density, something else??? N. Grau Oral Defense 11/21/05
