  1. Toru Sugitate / Hiroshima Univ. • The 31st International Symposium on • Multiparticle Dynamics • on 1-7, Sept. 2001 • in Datong, China Correlation and fluctuation studies at RHIC Toru Sugitate Hiroshima University Sugitate@hepl.hiroshima-u.ac.jp

  2. Temperature quark confinement Chiral symmetry Quark-Gluon Plasma Baryon density Hadronic Matter Normal Nucleus Multiparticle dynamics in high-energy heavy-ion collisions Toru Sugitate / Hiroshima Univ. Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) begins smashing atoms at sNN = 200 GeV. Experiments will yield insights into the structure of matter and how the universe evolved. Understand the non-pertuabative QCD nature; multiparticle dynamics of deconfined quarks and gluons in Quark-Gluon-Plasma, which probably existed in the early Universe.

  3. In the 1st order phase transition, matter of the mixed phases stops expansion due to the softening of Equation of State. Consequently a prolonged lifetime of particle emission is expected. In the Longitudinal Center of Mass System (p1z+p2z=0);  QGP B It is obvious for a static source, but our source is expanding..

  4. d p K STAR Acceptance  e The STAR (Solenoidal Tracker atRHIC) experiment at RHIC Toru Sugitate / Hiroshima Univ. • A large volume TPC covers || < 1 with a full azimuthal coverage. • PID capability of TPC - dE/dx and RICH. • Topological PID technique for short lived and/or neutral particles.

  5. The PHENIX (Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment)at RHIC Toru Sugitate / Hiroshima Univ. Broadest possible study of A-A, p-A, p-p collisions to • study nuclear matter under extreme conditions using a wide variety of probes sensitive to all timescales, i.e., hadrons, electron, muons, and photons as many potential signatures of QGP as possible, and • study systematic variations with species and energy. Measure spin structure of the nucleon.

STAR published in PRL 87(2001)082301 • First particle correlation data at RHIC. • Consistent between two experiments. • Positive pions show similar results. • No surprise with the C2 functions.

  12. Hydrodynamic QGP fluid + hadronic re-scattering; S.Soff, A.Bass, A.Dumitru, PRL 86 (2001) 3981 Summary and outlook of correlation and fluctuation studies at RHIC Toru Sugitate / Hiroshima Univ. • The source size parameters at sNN = 130 GeV are similar to those at SPS/AGS. • The duration time is consistent with zero, similar to those at SPS/AGS. • No indications of a huge source formation or a prolonged mixed phase. • No significant non-statistical fluctuations in <pT> and <ET> were seen by PHENIX, but some indication in charge independent <pT> by STAR. • Why all the source sizes are almost constant in about two orders of s? • No QGP’s? What controls the source size parameters? • Why the mT scaling at SPS explains the radii at RHIC?  Is there any universal scaling on s?  Another hint; RLong ~ RTrans at both SPS and RHIC. • Why almost no duration time during pion emissions?  Did hydrodynamical flow wash out the signals? • Look at Au+Au at sNN = 200 GeV. • Study the correlation functions by other particle species. • Study the net baryon-, charge- and strangenss-fluctuations. • Event-by-Event correlation and fluctuation. • Energy scan and different collision systems.
