  2. The Quark-Gluon Plasma at RHIC & LHC So far at RHIC: Elliptic Flow Near-perfect Fluid High pT Suppression Strongly-coupled QGP Jet Quenching Strongly-coupled QGP Away-side of jet Energy dissipation/propagation in medium Medium properties? Near-side Ridge Something new, unresolved Heating of the system Longitudinal expansion? Initial parton distributions? Initial parton bremsstrahlung + flow? ! !! !!! !!!! RHIC and LHC: Cover 2 – 3 decades of energy (sNN ~ 20 GeV – 5.5 TeV) What are the properties of hot QCD in this temperature range (T ~ 150 – 600 MeV)?

  3. BIG Physics Questions for RHIC & LHC Heavy Ions • - How does the system evolve/decohere from its initial state? • - Initial state saturation / color glass? • - Rapid thermalization - how? - What are the properties & constituents (vs. T) of the QGP? • - e.g., screening length, bulk/shear viscosity, vs, diff. coeff.,…. • How do partons lose energy in the QGP? - How does the QGP respond to large energy deposition (“jet heating”) - Response of medium (e.g. away-side, near-side ridge)? - How does hadronization take place?

  6. How Will LHC Heavy Ions Contribute? - How does the system evolve/decohere from its initial state? - What are the properties & constituents (vs. T) of the QGP? - How do partons lose energy in the QGP? - How does the QGP respond to “jet heating” – response of medium (e.g. away-side, near-side ridge)? - How does hadronization take place? • - • - LHC extends reach to very low-x phenomena - • - LHC extends reach to higher T • - LHC extends abundance & diversity of probes • (e.g. flow of heavy quarks & quarkonia – v2 scaling?) • - • - LHC extends reach in mass, flavor, and pT of hard probes • (different parton probes, jets, Z-bosons, heavy quarks, quarkonia) - - Trigger on hard probes (above) of different mass, flavor and pT - - Investigate intermediate pT (5 – 15 GeV/c)hadron production - Investigate fragmentation process in detail (hadrochemistry in jets) - Investigate production of “new” scaler and vector particles John Harris (Yale) AdS/CFT Strings Intersect Beams at Columbia, 26 Oct. 2007
