  3. Early “Big Picture” 4-detector strategy for the initial RHIC program has turned out to be excellent: • Adequate overlap - Impressive agreement between all experiments • Complementary dNch/dh Low Pt Phenomena PHOBOS Mission Flexibility to Respond to First Results

  4. Bottom line: • RHIC environment has been good for PHOBOS • Strong support -from management ~for BNL Group ~for 20 GeV Run -from CAD Result: • PHOBOS has achieved to date more than we could have hoped for • >50% of our mission complete • We would have liked • More data • Energy scan • Species scan • A larger BNL Group BUT

  7. What is the “Big Picture” as seen by PHOBOS?

  8. Baryon density at mid-rapidity rapidly decreases with energy K–/K+ p/p A+A central collisions PHOBOS 130 GeVPRL 87,102301,2001  PHOBOS 200 GeV PRC 67, 021901(R), 2003

  9. Energy density high; system must be partonic Total energy released ~2000GeV Max. initial overlap volume PRL 88, (2002) 22302 Initially released energy density >5GeV/fm3 Note: energy density inside proton ≈ 0. 5GeV/fm3 Number of Particles Produced at y=0 crossover Energy of Collision

  10. Medium is highly interactive Peripheral Central PRL 89 (2002) 222301 Elliptic flow: PHOBOS preliminary h+ + h- 200 GeV Au+Au v 2 0<h<1.5 (top 55%) 17% scale error

  11. Very few low momentum particles because of flow Au+Au sNN=200 GeV 15% central -0.1< y <0.4 (++) (K++K–) 1/ (2pT)d2N/dydpT (p+p) PHOBOS preliminary pT [GeV/c]

  12. 0.2<yp<1.4 Data: PHOBOS, nucl-ex/0302015 Submitted to Phys Lett B Jet-quenching: further evidence that medium interacts strongly and that parton density is very high. peripheral central

  13. Jet-quenching is not an initial state effect! PHOBOS d+Au: nucl-ex/0306025, submitted to PRL recent dAu data central dAu central Au+Au All syst. uncertainties: 90% C.L.

  14. Comparisons with models

  15. PHOBOS Central Au+Au (200 GeV) 600 1200 Compilation by K. Eskola Rapidity Density Particle Multiplicity Hadron multiplicities at RHIC well described by Parton Saturation Kharzeev & Levin, Phys. Lett. B523 (2001) 79 Color Glass Data: PHOBOS, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 102303 (2001) From Eskola, QM 2000

  16. dAu data disfavor initial state interpretation of Au+Au high-pT suppression PHOBOS d+Au: nucl-ex/0306025, submitted to PRL For example, Vitev(pQCD) predicts 15% increase Kharzeev, Levin, McLerran (parton saturation) predict 25-30% decrease over this range of centrality All syst. uncertainties: 90% C.L.

  17. Some surprises Accidental, trivial or profound?

  18. Limiting fragmentation is valid in AA collisions! Central Collisions Collision viewed in rest frame of CM: PHOBOS 200 GeV PHOBOS PHOBOS 19.6 GeV 130 GeV dN d  Collision viewed in rest frame of one nucleus: Peripheral Collisions PHOBOS Au+Au p + p dN/dh¢ 6% central dNch/dh ¢/<Npart>/2 UA5 PRL in press

  19. Scaling with Npart of midrapidity multiplicity inconsistent with naïve expectations: Au+Au yields normalized to corresponding pp value for all three energies 200GeV 130GeV 19.6GeV (PRELIMINARY) pp Errors from Au+Au only Midrapidity |h|<1 Data inconsistent with the following picture: dNch/dh Slow quark Fast quark PHOBOS Au+Au 200 GeV PRC 65 (2002) 061901R 130 GeV 19.6 GeV preliminary pp

  20. Preliminaryv2200 Final v2130 Flow is anything but boost invariant! v2 200 GeV PRL 89, 222301 130 GeV <Npart>~190 PHOBOS Au-Au h

  21. Amazing similarity of multiplicity in e+e- and AA collisions e+e- Au+Au Number of Particles Produced Energy of Collision Submitted to PRL

  22. Why high PT particle yield scales approximately with Npart? PHOBOS, nucl-ex/0302015,submitted to Phys. Lett. B Is medium completely opaque? Are high PT particles emitted only from surface?

  23. PHOBOS Research program is >50% completed What are the needs to complete PHOBOS mission?

  24. 1. Energy scan Where located? At what energy does jet-quenching switch off? Submitted to Phys. Lett. B

  25. 2. Species scan AuAu dAu Also needed for better understanding of the geometry of the collision, in particular for peripheral collisions

  26. 3. More AuAu data at maximum energy for fluctuation studies, K+K-, etc. 4. More pp at 200 GeV and pp at 400-500 GeV -baseline for comparisons with AuAu

  27. Summary • 4 detector strategy is working well • Where there is overlap, impressive agreement between all detectors • RHIC environment has given PHOBOS the opportunity to complete >50% of its planned research program • PHOBOS collaboration served well by the BNL PHOBOS Group • In operations • In data handling • In physics analysis • The contribution of PHOBOS to the RHIC mission • Major contribution in obtaining early on in the program the “Big Picture” • Observation of several unexpected results • Scaling properties • Similarities with e+e- collisions • Pioneered the use of ROOT, (and more recently PROOF) in HI community

  28. Summary continued • Unfinished parts of PHOBOS mission • High statistics AuAu and pp runs @ 200 GeV • Species scan • Energy scan • pp at 400 or 500 GeV • Phobos has some unique capabilities -we would like to finish the program in a timely fashion
