Questions for the LHC resulting from RHIC Strangeness Outline • Chemistry • Yields - Centrality dependence • Flow (radial and v2) • Intermediate pT
p-p data Not really going to discuss – see Rene’s talk • Not just a base line! • Interesting results in their own right. • Need to push for p-p at the same energy. • mT scaling - not absolute Separate shape for baryons and mesons STAR Preliminary p-p 200 GeV
Using PYTHIA split events into gluon and quark jet mT scaling and jets Quark jet events show mass dependence Gluon jet events show baryon/meson splitting Gluon jet domination at RHIC? What happens at the LHC?

Summary • Stat. models predict little change in strangeness at LHC • unless over-saturation occurs • What about charm? • Transition of strangeness from p-p to A-A not well understood • No Npart scaling • Several soft sector variables scale with dNch/dh (i.e. entropy) • HBT, v2 at low densities, strangeness centrality dependence • Hydro does not need early multi-strange freeze-out • Need more complex models • v2 of s quarks same as for light quarks • Baryons retain “memory” of beam? • Reco. traits observed at all energies – v2 , Rcp New & detailed results from RHIC but as many new soft physics questions remain for LHC as have been answered

Recent ReCo Model Predictions STAR Preliminary Premise: The production of Φ and Ω particles is almost exclusively from thermal s quarks even out to 8 GeV/c Observable: The ratio of Ω/f yields should rise linearly with pT
HBT radii <kT>≈ 400 MeV (RHIC)<kT>≈ 390 MeV (SPS) nucl-ex/0505014 Lisa et al. No obvious trends as fn of √s p HBT radii from different systems and at different energies scale with (dNch/dη)1/3 power 1/3 gives approx. linear scale Works for different mT ranges Entropy determines radii
