  2. A central Issue How to fully characterize of the QGP produced in RHIC & LHC collisions? • Characterization requires • Development of experimental constraints • for thermodynamic and transport coefficients • Development of quantitative model descriptions of • these properties Essential question: Do azimuthal anisotropy (vn) measurements provide constraints to nail down initial-state geometry & the transport properties of the QGP? T, cs, Focus  The role of scaling in answering this question! Roy A. Lacey, Stony Brook University; Ridge Workshop, INT, Seattle, May 7-11, 2012

  3. A scenario for Azimuthal Anisotropy 4< pT <10 GeV/c Transition Region pT > 10 GeV/c Jet quenching pT < 4 GeV/c Flow Path length (∆L) driven Pressure driven (acoustic ) Both are linked by Geometry & interactions in the sQGP • This scenario implies very specific scaling properties which must be validated experimentally • Scaling validation  Flow and Jet Quenching provide straightforward probes of the QGP Roy A. Lacey, Stony Brook University; Ridge Workshop, INT, Seattle, May 7-11, 2012

  15. Scaling of Jet Quenching Phys.Rev.C80:051901,2009 arXiv:1202.5537 arXiv:1203.3605 • obtained from high-pT v2 and RAA [same αs]  similar • - medium produced in LHC collisions less opaque! Conclusion similar to those of Liao, Betz, Horowitz, Roy A. Lacey, Stony Brook University; Ridge Workshop, INT, Seattle, May 7-11, 2012

  16. Scaling patterns of low-pT azimuthal anisotropy • Essential argument: • Flow is dominantly partonic • Flow is pressure driven (acoustic) • viscous damping follows dispersion relation • for sound propagation •  These lead to characteristic scaling patterns which must • be experimentally validated Roy A.

  17.
