Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures • Boris Tomášik • Univerzita Mateja Bela, Banská Bystrica, Slovakia • Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic • in collaboration with • Ivan Melo (University of Žilina)‏ • Giorgio Torrieri (Universität Frankfurt)‏ • Igor Mishustin (FIAS Frankfurt)‏ • Martin Schulc (FNSPE CTU Prague)‏ • Pavol Bartoš (UMB Banská Bystrica)‏ • Mikuláš Gintner (University of Žilina)‏ • Samuel Koróny (UMB Banská Bystrica)‏ • Dense Matter in Heavy Ion Collisions and Astrophysics • Dubna • July 2008

  2. Fragmentation at 1st order PT: spinodal decomposition at crossover: due to bulk viscosity How to see it? Look for differing rapidity distributions Look at rapidity correlations ... Fragmentation: where and how to see it Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  3. Spinodal fragmentation at the phase transition p Example: Van der Waals spinodal phase transition slow expansion: equilibrium trajectory fast expansion spinodal Example: linear sigma model coupled to quarks [O. Scavenius et al., Phys. Rev. D 63 (2001) 116003] What is fast? V bubble nucleation rate < expansion rate Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  4. eg. [L. Csernai, J. Kapusta: Phys. Rev. Lett. 69 (1992) 737] nucleation rate: difference in free energy: critical size bubble: at phase transition => must supercool Bubble nucleation rate Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  5. O. Scavenius et al., Phys. Rev. D 63 (2001) 116003: compare nucleation rate with Hubble constant (1D)‏ Supercooling down to spinodal likely to reach spinodal Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  6. [I.N. Mishustin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82 (1998), 4779; Nucl. Phys. A681 (2001), 56c] Minimize thermodynamic potential per volume where this gives also [D.E. Grady, J.Appl.Phys. 53 (1982) 322] The size of droplets Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  7. Bulk viscosity increases near Tc: [K. Paech, S. Pratt, Phys. Rev. C 74 (2006) 014901, D. Kharzeev, K. Tuchin, arxiv:0705.4280 [hep-ph]. F.Karsch, D.Kharzeev, K.Tuchin, Phys. Lett. B 663 (2008) 217] Kubo formula for bulk viscosity: From lattice QCD, using low energy theorems: Bulk viscosity near Tc Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  8. (s)QGP expands easily Bulk viscosity singular atcritical temperature System becomes rigid Inertia may win and fireball will fragment Fragments evaporatehadrons Bulk-viscosity-driven fragmentation ... and freeze-out Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  9. Energy-momentum tensor energy density decrease rate fragment size: kinetic energy = dissipated energy where Almost universal size! “Sudden viscosity” => fragmentation Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  10. Fragmentation and freeze-out: HBT puzzle Evaporation from droplets Cooper-Frye from FO hypersurface <xt> < 0 Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  11. rapidity distribution in a single event Droplets and rapidity distributions dN/dy dN/dy y y without droplets with droplets If we have droplets, each event will look differently Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  12. Kolmogorov–Smirnov test: Are two empirical distributions generated from the same underlying probability distribution? The measure of difference between events 1 D measures the difference of two empirical distributions D maximum distance 0 y Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  13. How are the D's distributed? Smirnov (1944):If we have two sets of data generated from the same underlying distribution, then D's are distributed according to This is independent from the underlying distribution! For each t=D we can calculate For events generated from the same distribution, Q's will be distributed uniformly. Kolmogorov-Smirnov: theorems Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  14. MC generator of (momenta and positions of) particles BT: arXiv:0806.4770 [nucl-th] some particles are emitted from droplets (clusters) droplets are generated from a blast-wave source (tunable parameters) droplets decay exponentially in time (tunable time, T) tunable size of droplets: Gamma-distributed or fixed no overlap of droplets also directly emitted particles (tunable amount) chemical composition: equilibrium, resonances rapidity distribution: uniform or Gaussian possible OSCAR output Droplet generator QuaG Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  15. T = 175 MeV, various droplet sizes, all particles from droplets Droplet generator: rapidity spectra No difference in distributions summed over all events! Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  16. Events are clearly different! Droplet generator: all from droplets average droplet volume 50 fm3 20 fm3 Q Q 2 fm3 10 fm3 Q Q Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  17. Method is very sensitive: clusters are always seen Droplet generator: part from droplets from droplets 20% 40% V = 10 fm3 60% 80% Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  18. Droplet generator: smeared rapidities V = 2 fm3 V = 10 fm3 Δy = 0.4 • Clusters seen even for unprecise measurement V = 50 fm3 V = 20 fm3 Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  19. Motivation: S. Pratt, PRC 49 (1994) 2722; J. Randrup, Heavy Ion Phys. 22 (2005) 69 Only correlations due to droplets included RHIC settings, STAR acceptance Resonances weakenthe signal Proton-proton rapidity correlations b = 10fm3 varying droplets percentage Simulation with resonances 100% from droplets Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures

  20. Fragmentation of the fireball: due to spinodal decomposition (lower energies) bulk-viscosity driven Fragments can be seen: KS method – different rapidity distributions Femtoscopy Rapidity correlations Fluctuations ... Conclusions Boris Tomášik: Fragmentation of the Fireball and its Signatures
