Outline • Motivation • In p+p, extend identified hadron spectra study up to pT~15 GeV/c • Good constraints to pQCD calculation. • Baseline for study of nuclear modification factor in HIC. • In Au+Au, study of nuclear modification factor (RAA) • Color charge effect, Jet conversion, Jet hadrochemistry • Data analysis • Identify charged p, K, p and pbar by dE/dx • Reconstruct K0S with one triggered daughter • Results & Summary Yichun Xu@HEP8th-Nanchang

STAR preliminary Particles Ratios in p+p collisions • Experimental data: • (Consistent with published data) • p-/p+, p/p: decrease with pT indicates a significant quark jet contribution not only to meson but also to baryon. • p/p and p/p: p/p+~0.2, and p/p-~0.1 • Compare to models: • PYTHIA(v6.205) describe ratios reasonably. • DSS over-predicts anti-protons relative to pions and protons.

STAR preliminary pT (GeV/c) RAA for p, K and p 1. RAA(proton)>RAA(pion)@ high pT Which is in contrast to the prediction of color charge dependence of Energy Loss. How the gluon jet/quark jet interact with the medium created in Au+Au collisions? 2. RAA(K) ~ 0.4 at high pT > 5.0 GeV/c Consistent with the prediction of jet conversion by interaction with the medium in Au+Au. 3. RAA(p) ~ RAA(r0) at high pT Light quark mesons have no mass effect Yichun Xu@HEP8th-Nanchang
RAA vs Npart • Integral RAA at pT>5.5 GeV/c, <pT>~6.2 GeV/c • RAA for kaon and pion are suppressed more in central collisions. • RAA for kaon > RAA for pion, even in peripheral collisions. • => Does jet chemistry change in small system? Yichun Xu@HEP8th-Nanchang
Summary Thanks for your attention! p+p collisions: • Extend identified hadron spectra up to 15 GeV/c in p+p. • Provide constraints for Fragmentation Function. • Indicates a significant quark jet contribution to baryon from decrease of pbar/p with pT . Au+Au collisions: • No mass effectfrom RAA() ~ RAA() • Color charge effect cannot explain RAA(p) > RAA(p). • RAA(K)~0.4 in central Au+Au collisions is consistent with the prediction of Jet Conversion in the medium.
