  22. Quantify Nuclear Modification of Hadron Spectra 1. Compare Au+Au to nucleon-nucleon cross sections 2. Compare Au+Au central/peripheral Nuclear Modification Factor: nucleon-nucleon cross section <Nbinary>/sinelp+p AA AA If no “effects”: R < 1 in regime of soft physics R = 1 at high-pT where hard scattering dominates Suppression: R < 1 at high-pT AA AA AA AA

  23. Quantitative Agreement across Experiments Effect is real…Final or Initial State Effect?

  24. Centrality Dependence Au-Au vs d-Au Au + Au Experiment d + Au Control Experiment • Significantly different and opposite centrality evolution of Au+Au experiment from d+Au control. • Jet Suppression is clearly a final state effect. Final Data Preliminary Data

  25. Heavy Quark Energy Loss in Media • Shuryak proposed that charm quarks may suffer a large energy loss • when propagating through a high opacity plasma, leading to large • suppression of D mesons. (E. V. Shuryak, Phys. Rev. C 55, 961 (1997) • Dokshitzer and Kharzeev propose the “dead cone” effect: • Reduced gluon emission at small angles in media for heavy quarks • may lead to enhancement in D meson production. Y.L. Dokshitzer and D. E. Kharzeev, Phys. Lett. B 519, 199 (2001) 2003 Djordjevic and Gyulassy: detailed quantitative treatment of heavy quark energy loss in strongly interacting media. Predict slight suppression: 0.6-0.8! M. Djordjevic and M. Gyulassy, nucl-th/0310076

  26. Radiative heavy quark energy loss • from Magdalena Djordjevic at QM 2004 • There are three important medium effects that control the • radiative energy loss at RHIC • Ter-Mikayelian effect (Djordjevic-Gyulassy Phys.Rev.C68:034914,2003) • Transition rediation (Zakharov) • Energy loss due to the interaction with the medium Ter-Mikayelian: QCD analog to dielectric effect in electrodynamics 1) 2) 3)

  29. Charm flow? PHENIX PRELIMINARY • is partonic flow realized? • v2 of non-photonic electrons indicates non-zero charm flow in AuAu collisions • uncertainties are large • definite answer: RUN-04 AuAu data sample!

  31. Summary • The final state produced in central Au-Au collisions at RHIC is dense and opaque and appears to have the properties of a strongly interaction liquid. • The energy loss of heavy quarks in nuclear media is an important tool to further characterize the nature of the medium produced at RHIC. • Heavy flavor production will play an important role in studying nucleon structure in d-A and polarized p-p collisions at RHIC. The experimental possibilities will be greatly enhanced by silicon vertex detector upgrades for PHENIX and STAR. We expect a significant qualitative and quantitative advance from run 2004 in understanding the nature of the matter formed in central collisions at RHIC.
