Criteria for Discovery of QGP Open system, expanding, short-lived, small volume • Criteria: • High density: e>>ec • Large volume: V>>l (mean-free-path) • Long life-time: t>>l • Local thermal equilibration (interaction): approximately • parton degrees of freedom • Debye screening of strong interaction: deconfinement
High density at RHIC GeV for E=10 GeV Consistent with estimate of initial condition From RHIC high pT data: single & di-hadron, v2 Initial (energy) density 30 (100) times of that in a Cold Au Nucleus also consistent with hydrodynamic analysis of radial flow from
Thermalization • Jet quenching • Single and dihadron suppression • Thermalization of hadrons in away-side jet • Elliptic flow • Requires early thermalization • tth<1 fm/c (U. Heinz) • Good agreement with ideal fluid hydro • Hadron chemical composition
Partonic d.o.f. and Deconfinement • Parton recombination effect • Reverse ordering of RAA and v2 • Qualitatively model independent • Deconfinement • J/y suppression (sufficient?)
Summary • Discovery of Jet Quenching at RHIC proves that a interacting dense matter is formed: Opaque to jets • Jet quenching is caused by partonic energy loss • Dense matter at RHIC is 30 times higher than cold nuclei, energy density is 100 times higher • Collective behavior: Hydrodyamic limit strongly interactive QGP • Jet tomography become useful and power tool for studying properties of dense matter
Future Perspective • Beginning of jet tomography study • Details of modified fragmentation • Heavy quark fragmentation • Dihadron fragmentation • Jet-gamma events • Measurements of rare events • J/y suppression • Dilepton and direct photon production
