  2. Nuclear modification of parton level structure & dynamics Drell-Yan Drell-Yan Process Ratio(W/Be) 1.0 0.9 0.8 E866 R(W/Be) NMC DIS E772 R(W/D) 0.7 • Modification of parton momentum distributions of nucleons embedded in nuclei • e.g. shadowing – depletion of low-momentum partons. Process dependent? • Nuclear effects on parton “dynamics” • energy loss of partons as they propagate through nuclei • and (associated?) multiple scattering effects • Production of heavy vector mesons, e.g. J/Ψ, Ψ ',  • production: color singlet or octet ( ) and color neutralization timescale • hadronization time: • Coherence length for cc fluctuations: • absorption on nucleons or co-movers • feed-down from higher mass resonances, e.g. χc Mike Leitch - LANL

  3. Peng et al, PLB 344 (1995) 1-5. DY  J/Y • J/Ψ suppression – an effective signature of Quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation? • Color screening in a QGP would destroy pairs before they can hadronize into charmonium • But ordinary nuclear effects also absorb or modify J/Ψ’s • We need a comprehensive understanding of charmonium production in nuclei • Competing effects may be identified in p-A collisions by their strong kinematic dependencies, together with complementary studies of Drell-Yan scattering and open-charm production Mike Leitch - LANL

  5. FNAL E866/NuSea • Forward xF, high-mass spectrometer • Solid Be, Fe, W and empty targets • Thick absorber wall to filter out all but μ’s • Two acceptance defining magnets • Four tracking stations and one momentum analyzing magnet • Scale 60m long, 3m x 3m at back Mike Leitch - LANL

  6. E866/NuSea: 800 GeV p-A (Fermilab) PRL 84, 3256 (2000) open charm: no A-dep at mid-rapidity Hadronized J/Y? • J/Ψ and Ψ’ similar at large xF where they both correspond to a traversing the nucleus • but Ψ’ absorbed more strongly than J/Ψ near mid-rapidity (xF ~ 0) where the resonances are beginning to be hadronized in nucleus. • Scaling of J/ Suppression? • Comparison of 800 GeV (E866) and 200 GeV (NA3) -appears to scale only with xF Mike Leitch - LANL

  7. PT Broadening at 800 GeV E772 & E866: p-A at 800 GeV Upsilons Drell-Yan a(pT) shape is independent of xF & same for NA3 at a lower energy (curves are with A slightly different for each) J/Y & Y’ Mike Leitch - LANL

  8. Comparison to NA50 J/Ψ Nuclear Dependence yCM : -0.4 1.0 p-p & p-d E866 800 GeV J/Y NA50/51 450 GeV Y’ Charmonia cross sections from NA50/51 for p-A collisions at 450 GeV/c • ay~0 dependence? • gluon shadowing? • change in production, e.g. octet vrs singlet balance? • (Both experiments have good pT coverage, so strong pT-dependence of α not the cause) * mid-rapidity part of E866 data Mike Leitch - LANL

  12. Systematics of PT Broadening Mike Leitch - LANL

  13. Feeding of J/Ψ’s from Decay of Higher Mass Resonances E705 @ 300 GeV/c, PRL 70, 383 (1993) • Large fraction of J/Ψ’s are not produced directly • Nuclear dependence of parent resonance, e.g. χC is probably different than that of the J/Ψ • e.g. in proton production ~30% of J/Ψ’s will have effectively stronger absorption because they were actually more strongly absorbed (larger size) χC’s while in the nucleus Mike Leitch - LANL

  14. Open Charm Nuclear Dependence : xF Dependence? E769 250 GeV ± PRL 70,722 (1993) WA82 340 GeV - PRB 284,453 (1992) Vogt et al., NP 383,643 (1992) E769 250 GeV - E789 : PRL 72, 2542 (1994) 800 GeV p + A, <xF> = 0.03 a = 1.02±.03±.02 WA78 320 GeV - (Beam dump) Mike Leitch - LANL

  16. J/Ψ Polarization • NRQCD based predictions [Braaten & Fleming, PRL 74, 3327 (1995)] necessary to explain CDF charm cross sections • E866 measurement not in agreement with NRQCD based predictions [Beneke & Rothstein, PRD 54, 2005 (1996)] which give 0.31 < λ < 0.63 • or with color-singlet models [PRD 51, 3332 (1995)] • Complicated by feedown (~40%) from higher mass states. • No clear information on production mechanism! CDF E866/NuSea Mike Leitch - LANL

  17. Upsilon Polarization – E866/NuSea, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2529 (2001) Υ2S+3S DY Y1S Y1S Υ2S+3S Υ2S+3S DY Y1S • Υ2S+3S has maximal polarization, • like Drell-Yan • Y1S has very small polarization Mike Leitch - LANL

  18. Summary: PRL 84, 3256 (2000) • Charmonium suppression involves a non-trivial interplay between different effects and involves several timescales including that for hadronizaton and for the coherence of a pair. • It has large variations with xF and pT that help reveal the underlying mechanisms Eskola, Kolhinen, Vogt hep-ph/0104124 • p-A (or d-A) measurements serve as a basis for understanding what is seen in nucleus-nucleus collisions and are a must at RHIC. • Shadowing is certainly very important at RHIC and must be measured in d-A collisions as soon as possible Mike Leitch - LANL

  19. Summary continued – PT broadening: • A universal phenomena seen with, e.g. p, p and beams. • is ~5 times larger for J/Y than for Drell-Yan; cause? • gluons interact more strongly than quarks by 9/4 color factor • resonances can multiple scatter in final state • J/Y grows with • Radiative energy loss associated with Drell-Yan pT broadening in the BDMS model is tiny Mike Leitch - LANL
