  1. Forward (onium) physics from PHENIX Mickey Chiu

  2. Why are we interested? as • High energy behavior might be universal across all hadrons and predicted entirely by the CGC CGC: x < 10-2 • Geometric Scaling • Strongly coupled regime which becomes classical  computable!  0.3

  3. CGC in Heavy Ion Collisions W=200 GeV PHOBOS • As Initial state for Heavy Ion Collisions • Multiplicity Distributions • Long range correlations from a “glasma”, explanation of the ridge But the outstanding question is, do we see the CGC at RHIC?

  4. Expectations for a color glass condensate t related to rapidity of produced hadrons. Kharzeev, Kovchegov, and Tuchin, hep-ph/0307037 As y grows Iancu and Venugopalan, hep-ph/0303204 Are the forward d+Au results evidence for gluon saturation at RHIC energies? Not clear. Need more data, and more observables.

  10. The MPC can reliably detect pions (via p0g g) up to 17 GeV in energy Limitations are the tower separation and merging effects  pT max ~ 1.7 GeV/c To go to higher pT, use single clusters in the calorimeter Use p0s for 7 GeV < E < 17 GeV Use clusters for 20 GeV < E < 50 GeV Correlation measurements are performed using p0s, clusters Use event mixing to identify pions  form foreground (same event pairs) and mixed event background photon pair distributions MPC Pion/Cluster Identification North MPC Foreground 12 < E < 15 Background Yield Minv (GeV/c2) 10 Color Glass Condensate Workshop, RHIC-AGS 2009

  18. d+Au RCP, 1.2<||<2.2 PHENIX 2003 d+Au RHIC experiments have observed a suppression of hadron production relative to binary collision scaling in deuteron-gold reaction at forward rapidity sensitive to low x partons in the gold nucleus, Phys.Rev.Lett.94:082302,2005).

  20. Rapidity-separated hadron correlations in d+Au • At least two kinds of effects may give suppression in pairs that include a forward rapidity wrt mid-rapidity trigger hadron shadowing (non-LT) gives suppression of pairs wrt to singles for mid-rapidity tag – but small for forward tag Vitev, hep-ph/0405068v2 shadowing (non-LT) gives suppression of pairs wrt to singles for mid-rapidity tag – but small for forward tag Vitev, hep-ph/0405068v2 Mono-jets in the gluon saturation (CGC) picture give suppression of pairs per trigger and some broadening of correlation Kharzeev, NPA 748, 727 (2005) Dilute parton system (deuteron) PT is balanced by many gluons Dense gluon field (Au) Color Glass Condensate Workshop, RHIC-AGS 2009

  21. Shadowing & the EMC effect • depletion at small-x • enhancement (anti-shadowing) at larger-x • EMC effect at large x • Fermi motion near x~1 • Either from global fits to deep-inelasitic scattering and Drell-Yan data • e.g. Eskola – EPS09 • arXiv:0902.4154 • Or from coherence models • e.g. Vitev • hep-ph/0309094 Color Glass Condensate Workshop, RHIC-AGS 2009

  23. 23 Quarkonia Production & Suppression – J/Ψ in d+Au • Initial d+Au J/Ψ update from new 2008 data (~30x 2003) • RCP pretty flat vs centrality at backward rapidity; but falls at forward rapidity (small-x) • more soon – precision statistics requires precision systematics & careful analysis • starting to study constraints on CNM models (thanks R. Vogt) EKS σ = 0,1,2,3,4,…15 EKS σ = 0,1,2,3,4,…15 Color Glass Condensate Workshop, RHIC-AGS 2009

  24. Conclusions • Forward Pion I_dA for Central Arm Triggered hadrons – forward MPC pi0’s • Widths ~ consistent between p+p and d+Au • Associated Yields suppressed in d+Au, and stronger with more central collisions • Working on triggered MPC data and Au going MPC side • Can then map out x dependence • Less forward muon arm triggered (2-5 GeV pT) hadrons – central arm hadron correlations show small I_dAu difference • R_dAu of those muon arm hadrons shows suppression pattern • New data from run08 on the way • Some of the more “ordinary” cold nuclear effects can be mapped out with complementary measurements, like J/Psi. • d+Au is a very complicated system Color Glass Condensate Workshop, RHIC-AGS 2009

  32. PRL 94, 082302 PRL 96, 222301 STAR Forward-midrapidity correlations in d+Au PRL 97, 152302 • PHENIX doesn’t see any changes for <xg> ~ 0.015 • STAR might see suppression for <xg> ~ 0.006 π0:|<η>| = 4.0 h±: |η| < 0.75 pT > 0.5 GeV/c Color Glass Condensate Workshop, RHIC-AGS 2009

  33. Cold Nuclear Structure (d+Au) Observation that structure functions are altered in nuclei stunned much of the HEP community ~25 years ago Regions of: • Fermi smearing • EMC effect • Enhancement • Shadowing • Saturation? Regions of shadowing and saturation mostly around Q2 ~1 GeV2 F2D/F2A

  34. Saturation picture in nuclei Relativistic proton picture (In rest frame of proton) Nucleus picture • Transverse area of a parton ~ 1/Q2 • Cross section parton-probe : s~ as/Q2 • Partons start to overlap when SA~NAs • The parton density saturates • Saturation scale : Qs2 ~ as(Qs2)NA/pRA2 ~A1/3 • At saturation Nparton is proportional to 1/as • Qs2 is proportional to the density of participating nucleons; larger for heavy nuclei.
