  10. ALICE Physics TeamsALICE PPR V1: J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys. 30, 1517 (2004);V2: 32, 1295-2040 (2006) • Heavy ion observables in ALICE • Particle multiplicities • Particle spectra • Particle interferometry • Resonance production • Jet physics • Direct photons • Dileptons • Heavy-quark and quarkonium production • p-p and p-A physics in ALICE • Physics of ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions • Contribution of ALICE to cosmic-ray physics

  11. Vector meson production: ( puzzle) Predicted effect of partial chiral symmetry restoration (M.Asakawa, C.M.Ko LBL-35724, 1994). The shift of mass depends from the temperature T. SPS  l n  (e+e-) l - from early stage (QGP) n - from late stage (freeze-out) NA50/NA49: dN/dy(+-) / dN/dy(K+K-)  2 (1.8 - AMPT model); NA50:T = 227±10 MeV , NA60: 253±2 MeV(228 MeV from the AMPT), NA49:TKK = 305±15 MeV (267 MeV from the AMPT).

  12. Simulation results for K+K- in Pb-Pb 106 central events in ALICE using ITS, TPC and TOF. (B.Batyunya, A.De Caro, G.Paic, A.Pesci. S.Zaporozhets. Phys.Part.Nucl.Lett. v2, N2 (125) 72, 2005; B. Alessandro et al. ALICE PPR. J.Phys.G, V.32, p.1613) n S/B = 0.053 ± 0.0007 l Fit parameters: M=1019.6±0.04 width=4.3±0.1 The resonance peak after subtraction of the background.

  13. K+K- from 105 p-p events at 14 TeV obtained in GRID production including JINR;(preliminary; B.Batyunya, M.Vala)  Effective mass for K+K- pairs and background from mixed events. S/B = 0.14  background K+K- signal after background subtraction. Fit (gauss): M = 1.020+0.001 GeV,  = 2.500  0.001 MeV

  14. Simulation results for dielectron decays of ,  and J/ in 107 central Pb-Pb events using ITS, TPC and TRD in ALICE. (B.Batyunya, M.Vala, S.Zaporozhets. Talk in First International Workshop on Soft Physics in Ultrarelativistic Heavy Ion Collisions. Catania, 2006.) S/B= (0.13 - 0.15)

  15. Particle momentum correlations (as HBT effect in astronomy). Due to the effects of quantum statistics (QS) and final state interaction (FSI), the momentum correlations of two or more particles at small relative momenta in their center-of-mass system are sensitive to the space-time characteristics of the production process so serving as a correlation femtoscopy tool. q = p1- p2 , x = x1- x2 w=1+cos qx S is signal and B is background (from mixed events). . The corresponding correlation widths are usually parameterized in terms of the Gaussian correlation radii Ri: side out transverse pair velocity vt long beam

  16. Study of influence of particles identification and momentum resolutions effects in ALICE detectors on correlation function (CF) ( L.Malinina, B.Batyunya, S.Zaporozhets. NUCLEONIKA 2004;49(Supplement 2)S99-S102 ). The simulation has been done using HIJING model, GEANT-3 - ALIROOT packages for ITS and TPC and Lednitsky’s algorithm for calculation of particle correlations. Preliminary results for (K+K-) pairs with taking into account the TPC tracking efficiency and resolution. TPC results for Qinv dependence of the CF, CF = 1 + *exp(-Qinv2R2), for () pairs at pt < 1 GeV/c of pions. Fit parameters: p0 = , p1 = R 100 %

  17. Momentum correlations for two like-sign pions. Predictions of Universal Hydro-Kinetic Model ( N.Amelin, R.Lednicky, L.Malinina et al.) kt dependences of correlation radii and parameter : the triangle points - UHKM results, the open points - STAR measurements. Influence of resonance decays to the correlation function parameters in the UHKM model (preliminary). The discrepancy for the  relates to an absence of particle identification efficiency in the model.

  29. CONCLUSION • Participation of JINR team in ALICE physics is based on: • Contribution to design and construction of particular ALICE sub-detectors; • Long term participation in the physics and detector simulation; • Practical knowledge and experience in using of distributed computing (GRIID) for data analysis. • JINR team has leading positions in some physics tasks. A few physics groups were organized in ALICE . Convener of one of these groups is JINR physicist Y. Belikov. • JINR has responsibility for the ALICE Computing in Russia. • JINR team presents scientific results on workshops & conferences. • Adequate funding for exploitation costs (setup and sub-detectors PHOS and TRD) and travel have to be provided. • It is planned that the most of the data analysis carried by JINR, will be done at Dubna. Computing power has to be increased by about 10 times.

  30. Future plans in 2007-2008 years • Simulation of pp and Pb-Pb collision from 0.9 TeV • till nominal LHC energies: • 1.1. Vector mesons and quarkonia production • decaying to m+m- and e-e+ pairs with adequate • understanding of background conditions; • 1.2. Study of direct photon and pi0 production • with suitable background environment • 1.3. Momentum correlations (femtoscopy): • - Study of influence of particle identification and resonance • decays using the UHKM code . • Participation in the data taking. • Start the data analysis.
