  2. Recent activities in the field • ALICE col. J. Phys. G 30 (2004) 1517; • CMS col., CMS NOTE 2000-060; ATLAS col., CERN/LHCC/2004-009 • Hard probes in heavy ion collisions at the LHC • 4 working groups (PDF, shadowing and pA; Photons; Heavy quarks and quarkonia; Jet physics) • 3 workshops • 1 CERN Yellow Report: CERN-2004-009 (493 pages, 308 figures) • Heavy quarkonium working group • 6 working groups (Spectroscopy; Production; Quarkonium in media; Decays; Standard Model measurements; Future opportunities) • 3 workshops • 1 CERN Yellow Report: hep-ph/0412158 (521 pages, 260 figures) • HERA and the LHC • 5 working groups (Parton density functions; Multi-jet final states and energy flow; Heavy quarks (charm and beauty); Diffraction; MC tools) • 5 workshops • written document in preparation

  3. central AA hard gluon induced quarkonium breakup hep-ph/0311048 RHIC LHC Heavy flavors: what is different @ the LHC • large primary production • melting of (1S) by color screening • none of the primary J/ survives the (PbPb)QGP • large secondary production of charmonia • kinetic recombination, statistical hadronization, DD annihilation, b-hadron decay

  4. (di-)leptons: what is different @ the LHC dimuons in ALICE, pt > 2 GeV/c unlike-sign total unlike-sign from bottom unlike-sign from charm like-sign from bottom charm pure NLO S.Grigoryan • dileptons from b decay dominate the spectrum below  & J/ • large yield of secondary J/ from b decay • dileptons from b decay have different origin at low & high mass • sizeable yield of like-sign correlated dileptons from b decay

  5. Charm(onium) production, suppression, regeneration & in-medium modification time b decay • interplay between different processes @ different time scales • charm(onium) carries much more physics than anticipated DD annihilation hadronic comovers statistical hadronization kinetic recombination dropping mass, flow increased polarization momentum fluctuations color screening nuclear absorption quenching parton-(pre)resonance breakup pt broadening parton cascade systematic studies are a must hard scattering, shadowing

  6. How well is the heavy flavor production x-section known @ the LHC ? • theoretical uncertainties on absolute values: a factor 2-3 • theoretical uncertainties on the (5.5 TeV)/(14 TeV) ratio: few % •  measuring (ccbar, bbbar) in pp collisions @ 14 TeV is top priority N. Carrer and A. Dainese, hep-ph/0311225

  7. On the relevance of measuring (b) in pp collisions in the first days • (b) in pp is mandatory for understanding (b) in pA & AA (shadowing, quenching) • (b) in pp is mandatory for understanding () in pp, pA & AA (production, absorption, suppression) • (b) in pp is mandatory for understanding (J/) in pp (& pA, AA) (N(b  J/)/N(direct J/) ~ 30% in 4 w/o feed-down) • open heavy flavor statistics is much larger than quarkonium statistics •  (b) = day-one physics in pp collisions @ the LHC

  8. Heavy ion (ALICE) data taking scenario one LHC year = 7 months pp (107s) + few weeks AA (106s), starts in 2007 • 5 first years: • regular pp runs at 14 TeV: commissioning, reference, dedicated pp physics • first PbPb run at low luminosity: global observables, large x-sections • 2 PbPb runs at high luminosity (Lint = 0.5nb-1/year): small x-sections • 1 pA run: structure functions, hadronic reference • 1 light ion run: energy density dependence • later (different options depending on the first results): • pp (or pp-like) at 5.5 TeV • other light or intermediate-mass systems • other systems p-likeA • PbPb at low energy • PbPb at 5.5 TeV & high luminosity ALICE collaboration, J. Phys. G 30 (2004) 1517

  9. Heavy flavor physics program @ LHC(channels investigated so far) • charmonia & bottomonia versus • centrality • transverse momentum • system-size • reaction plane • open bottom (inclusive) • cross-section from 2nd J/, single leptons & dileptons • b quark energy loss • open charm (exclusive D’s) • transverse momentum distribution • c quark energy loss • electron-muon coincidences

  13. Heavy flavors with CMS muon spectrometer & silicon tracker in central barrel & end-caps large acceptance, excellent resolution J/, ’, , ’,’’, open charm, open bottom

  14. Heavy flavors with ATLAS muon spectrometer & silicon tracker in central barrel & end-caps large acceptance studies limited to  reconstruction & b-jet tagging so far

  15. Acceptance for heavy flavor measurements • nice complementarity between the 3 experiments • ATLAS & CMS acceptance is large in  & limited to high pt • ALICE combines hadrons, electrons, muons & covers low pt & high  • ATLAS, CMS & ALICE-electrons/hadrons have inner tracking

  16. barrel (||<1) Quarkonium measurements in ATLAS •  & ’ can be well separated • ’ & ’’ separation is difficult • J/ studies underway CERN/LHCC/2004-009, L. Rosselet@Vienna04

  17. Quarkonium measurements in CMS • M(dimuon) ~ 60 MeV @ M = 10 GeV in central barrel • background mainly coming from uncorrelated muon-pairs • J/ reconstruction limited to high pt G. Baur et al., CMS NOTE 2000-060

  18. background level 1 = 2 HIJING evts with dNch/d = 6000 @  = 0 each Quarkonium measurements in ALICE acceptance  mass resolution pt > 3 GeV/c trigger dielectrons pt > 3 GeV/c trigger pt > 2 GeV/c trigger dimuons pt > 1 GeV/c trigger • J/ measurement down to pt = 0 (unique @ the LHC) • resolution allows to separate the 3  states • note: no need for J/ trigger (at least in central PbPb collisions)

  19. Centrality dependence of quarkonium yields in ALICE-muon • cross-sections from R. Vogt in hep-ph/0311048, • assumes neither suppression nor enhancement • J/: large stat., good sign. • (allows much narrower centrality bins) • ’: small S/B • : good stat., S/B > 1, good sign. • ’: good stat., S/B > 1, good sign. • ’’: low statistics • similar rates for  in the dielectron channel S. Grigoryan (updated Dec.’04)

B 492(1997)301 • Melting depends on • resonance formation time, dissociation temp. & pt • QGP temp., lifetime & size • Ratio is flat in pp (CDF) • Any deviation from the pp (pA) value is a clear evidence for the QGP (nuclear effects cancel-out) • The pt dependence of the ratio is sensitive to the characteristics of the QGP • full & realistic simulation • error bars = 1 month of central PbPb (10%) E.

Guernane & S. Grigoryan (2004)

  27. The Z0 as a normalisation to bottomonium suppression • most natural normalization to  is b (assuming quenching is under control!) • Z0: “clean” signal for normalisation (alternative to Drell-Yan which is out of reach) • not an universal normalisation (different shadowing for quarks & gluons) • Z0 in CMS: • b-hadron decays dominate the dimuon imass • 2 weeks PbPb @ L = 1027 cm-2s-1: 11000 Z0 +- in || < 2.5 CMS/NOTE 2001/008
