  9. 2. Transverse flow of theQuark-Gluon matter Is Quark-Gluon matter really produced in HIC? • If it is, particles produced should not be incoherent superposition of those from NN collisions. • The hadronic matter should be regarded as a macro-system of its own. Expect a collective behavior following up the explosion. • Observation of transverse flow signals that the macro-system has been formed. • radial flow • elliptic flow

  10. Evidence on radial flow pT-distribution: ~exp[-pT/T*] Shuryak 04 • Light pcle: T*=TgT • Massive: T*~mvT • As A increases, • the line becomes steeper • collective flow becomes more pronounced PbPb, A=208 sNN~25GeV T* SS, A=32, pp

  15. Hydro model: pT dependence. Kolb&Rapp03 • Model describs pT spectra of various species & centralities • Decoupling temperature assumed, 165MeV (blue), 100 MeV (red). • Early thermal equilibrium: t0~0.6 f/c is used.

  16. midrapidity : |h| < 1.0 STAR Model PRL 86 (2001) 402 Peripheral  Central Comparison between hydro-model and the v2 data STAR PRL87 (2001)182301 Centrality dependence: Overall agreement, except near peripheral region where model prediction v2 is larger than data. PT-curves for pions and protons are confirmed by the data. More accurate kaon data are needed.

  17. 3. Jets-medium interactions Jet quenching Nuclear Mod. factor Large pT suppression is highly suppressed in Au+Au vs in d+Au. Suppression extends to all accessible pT. Away side jet: Suppressed in Au+Au Presence in p+p and in d+Au. Trigger x Away-side jet suppressed

  18. Ridge phenomena:2-particle correlation STARdata. Putschke, QM06 dN/dDh vs Dh R: Plateau, J: Peak Differences: trig. and assoc Dh=htrig-hassoc Df=ftrig-fassoc Central: 3 < pTtrig< 4 GeV, pTassoc > 2 GeV 18

  19. Hwa 08CC, Hwa, Yang 08 A ridge model without early therm equilib. • Assume many semi-hard jets (2-3 GeV) are produced near the surface of the initial almond. • Jets-medium interaction generates a layer of enhanced thermal partons. They are the ridge particles, R. • The bulk thermal medium background, B is isotropic. • Total thermal partons yield: F f F v2(pT,b) is determined based on phenomenological properties of B(pT) and R(pT)

  20. Comparison between the ridge model and the v2 data Recombination model: ET up to 5 GeV. Pions: Include TT, TS, SS Protons: TTT, TTS, TSS V2: Protons V2: Pions ET<1, TT only.

  21. Trigger Azimuth dependence Feng, STAR (QM08) Feature: For 20-60% the yield decreases rapidly with fs. y Assoc Trigger f fs x 3 < pTtrig< 4 GeV; 1.5 < pTassoc< 2 GeV Beam

  22. 4. Correlated emission model (CEM) A scenario on the ridge formation CC, Hwa 09 y • A semi-hard collision at P. One parton exits as trigger, the other absorbed by the medium. • Exit parton traverses through the medium, accompanied by soft radiations. • Absorption of radiation energy locally energizes the thermal partons • Enhanced thermal partons carried by the flow. Theylead to the formation of ridge particles. trigger x P(x0,y0) x flow

  23. Trigger direction vs flow direction Matched case |fs –y|~0: Enhanced thermal partons flow in the same direction, leading to strong ridge. x Mismatched case |fs – y|~900 : Enhanced thermal partons dispersed over a wide range of f-- weak ridge. Local flow along y (green) Trigger along fs (red)

  24. Ridge yield at f with trigger fs due to interaction at x0,y0 Ridge yield per trigger(including all pts) fs (x0,y0) t Interaction at one point:(x0, y0) • P(x0, y0, t): Probability parton traverses t and emerges as a trigger. t’ f G C y y fs t’

  25. Comparison with the data CEM fit to the fs data • Parameters: • Thickness of interaction layer is ~ RA/4 • Gaussian-width of fs-y cone ~200. Normallized to fit one point at lowest fs for 0-5%. 25

  26. Comparison with  data in 20-60% region Left panel Shift of the peak from Df=0: ~40% b=0 out in • Matched “In”-region (Df<0) is larger at ~40% • Mismatched “out”-region (Df>0) is smaller at ~40% shift Df= f -fs

  27. Model predictions Asymmetry vs fs Df curves: The left-shift in the peak position as a function of fs. 27

  28. R-yield vs b (or Npart) at various fs We predict decrease of yield/trigger as b is decreased at small fs 28

  29. 5.Summary • Some well known features are: • Experimental evidence of transverse collective flows • Hydrodynamic model has been success in predicting pT spectrum and v2 data at least up to 1GeV • There are strong jet-medium interactions, and the medium strongly absorptive. • More recent discovery of Ridge phenomenon is discussed. • Ridge particles are generated in jet-medium interaction. They are the enhanced thermal partons. • CEM assumes there is strong correlation between the trigger direction and the flow direction. • Phenomenological application and further test of the model are presented.
