  1. STAR Future Plans and Upgrades Run 10 Run 11 Beyond Hank Crawford UCB/SSL for the STAR Collaboration Crawford

  2. STAR Physics Goals for Run 10 • search for QCD Critical point and for disappearance of signatures seen at top RHIC energy through Beam Energy Scan (BES). • First energy scan from √sNN = 7.7 to 39 GeVAu+Au collisions • Combine with C-AD: machine development for √sNN = 5 GeVAu+Au collisions • study properties of the produced matter using200 GeVAuAu • Collective effects - heavy flavor dynamics • Correlations – ridge, parity violation • “full” jet dynamics – energy loss and modifications in medium • New particles and anti-particles First AuAu run with full Time-of-Flight (TOF) and full DAQ1000 SVT and SSD removed to minimize scattering and background For BES details, see http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/starnotes/public/sn0493 Crawford

  3. STAR Physics Goals for Run 11 pp at 500 and 200 GeV – Exploiting unique RHIC longitudinal and transverse polarization Continue investigation of the origin of spin and the internal structure of the proton using both 500 GeV and 200 GeV polarized pp collisions study hydrodynamic behavior of matter at energy densities up to 50% higher than that achievable with Au+Au collisions in first run with U+U collisions to at 200 GeV Study diffractive physics and search for glueballsat central rapidity in pp2pp program with longitudinally polarized beams Crawford

  4. Long Term Physics Goals Verify new state of matter (QGP) through measure of thermalization Search for Chiral Symmetry Restoration Quantify parton dynamics in nuclear collisions: level of parity violation mechanisms involved in energy loss what correlations drive evolution Determine internal structure of proton: origin of spin and probe existence of orbital motion view color force through Drell-Yan pairs virtual quark content through heavy-meson production Parton distribution to low-x Parton dynamics – elastic and inelastic processes Probe large mass objects via large rapidity separation correlations (Δη≈6) Discover new particles and phenomena and follow any leads from BES Crawford

  5. STAR Detector (current) MRPC ToF barrel 100% ready for run 10 EMC barrel EMC End Cap BBC FMS FPD TPC PMD Complete Large variety of Identified species Is key to understanding Ongoing DAQ1000 FTPC Full azimuthal particle identification! γ, e, π, ρ, K, K*, p, φ, Λ, Δ, Ξ, Ω, D, ΛC, J/ψ, Υ ,ω… Crawford

  6. Particle Identification Charm Bottom Reconstruct particles in full azimuthal acceptance of STAR! Crawford

  7. Run 10: STAR TOF – all 120 trays ready TOF enables BES and HFT program TOF 1/β cut rejects hadrons providing nearly complete and accurate electron identification for di-lepton program. US project: Rice, UT-Austin, UCLA, BNL, LBNL China project: USTC, Tsinghua, SINAP, IOPP Wuhan, IMP Langzhou Crawford

  8. Run 10: BES: Search for signatures of a phase transition and a critical point. Elliptic & directed flow for charged particles and for identified protons and pions, which have been identified by many theorists as highly promising indicators of a “softest point” in the nuclear equation of state; Azimuthally-sensitive femtoscopy, which adds to the standard HBT observables by allowing the tilt angle of the ellipsoid-like particle source in coordinate space to be measured; these measurements hold promise for identifying a softest point, and complements the momentum-space information revealed by flow measurements Fluctuation measures, indicated by large jumps in the baryon, charge and strangeness susceptibilities, as a function of system temperature – the most obvious expected manifestation of critical phenomena. Crawford

  9. Azimuthally-sensitive femtoscopy ε = eccentricity σx2 is the in-plane axis σy2 is the out-of-plane axis Freeze-out anisotropy from 2nd -order oscillations of HBT radii.  All measurements are subject to ~30% systematic uncertainty. Inset shows hydro evolution of source shape for an equation of state with (upper) and without (lower) softening due to finite latent heat. Crawford

  10. Fluctuations Sigma-dynamic (σdyn) is a measure of the event-by-event fluctuations in the particle ratio. This fluctuation is expected to be maximized at the CP. K/p K/p Results for K/p are compared to models to remove to general trends. Expected error with 100 k central events Crawford

  11. Run 10 : BES: Search for turn-off of new phenomena already established at higher RHIC energies Constituent-quark-number scaling of v2 , indicating partonic degrees of freedom; Hadron suppression in central collisions as characterized by the ratio RCP ; Untriggered pair correlations in the space of pair separation in azimuth and pseudorapidity, which elucidate the ridge phenomenon; Local parity violation in strong interactions, an emerging and important RHIC discovery in its own right, is generally believed to require deconfinement, and thus also is expected to turn-off at lower energies. Crawford

  12. V2/nq vsmT scaling Elliptic flow per constituent quark versus transverse mass per constituent quark for Au + Au collisions at 200 GeV at RHIC. See talk by Xin Dong at this meeting Crawford

  13. L or B Search for Parity Violation The separation between the same-charge and opposite-charge correlations. - Strong EM fields - De-confinement and Chiral symmetry restoration See talk by Xin Dong at this meeting Crawford

  14. QCD Phase Diagram STAR can trace trajectories by measurement of variety of particle yields as a function of energy T and μ are then calculated from the set of yields A schematic representation of the QCD Phase Diagram. The location of the critical point, the separation between the 1st-order transition and chemical freeze-out, and the focusing of the event trajectories towards the critical point, are not based on specific quantitative predictions, but are all chosen to illustrate plausible possibilities. Crawford

  15. Run 10: 200 GeV program γ-hadron correlations: a “golden probe” of parton energy loss in the medium Heavy Flavor signals : understand energy loss mechanisms – radiative, collisional Quarkonia: J/Ψ ϒ Projection of uncertainties in Upsilon(1S) RAA for two sets of integrated luminosity. Crawford

  17. Run 10 200 GeVAuAu : Anti-Hypernuclei Hypertriton ANTI-hypertriton Coalescence calculations show we will have measurable sample of anti-alphas and perhaps double-Λ-hypernuclei Upper panels show the invariant mass distribution of helium3 + pion in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV. Open circles represent the signal candidate distributions, solid black lines are background distributions. Lower panels show the helium3 candidates Z (log((dE/dx)measured/(dE/dx)expected)) distribution from the same data set. See talks by Xin Dong and ZhangbuXu at this meeting Crawford

  18. Run 11 pp goals 1. Measure parity-violating AL for mid-rapidity W production at 500 GeV requires 15 pb-1 at P>50% 2. Measure xF dependence of π0 AN and forward jets at 500 Gev requires 6.5 pb-1 at P>50% 3. Begin to Measure γ-jet AN at 200 GeV to see color through sign change wrt SIDIS requires 15 pb-1 at P>65% (full sample required is 30 pb-1) 4. Measure AN for “full” forward jets to separate Collins and Sivers components requires same 15 pb-1 as 3 with FHC 5. Complete map of x dependence of gluon helicity contribution to spin 80 pb-1 required; Run11 increment awaits Run9 analysis Crawford

  19. Future inclusive jet ALL sensitivity Projected sensitivities: Run 9&future 500 GeV running Projected improvement in xΔg from Run 9 • Goal for the current 200 GeV run: • 50 pb-1 @ 60% pol – reduce ALL uncertainties a factor of ~4 • Will provide much stronger constraints on gluon polarization • Goal for future 500 GeV running: • 300 pb-1 @ 70% pol • Extend precision determination to lower xg See Carl Gagliardi talk this meeting Crawford

  20. Future: transverse spin forward γ + mid-rapidity jet Bacchetta et al., PRL 99, 212002 See Carl Gagliardi talk this meeting • Conventional calculations predict the asymmetry to have the same sign in SIDIS andγ+jet • Calculations that account for the repulsive interactions between like color charges predict opposite sign • Critical test of our basic theoretical understanding Crawford

  21. PP2PP: Future Physics with Tagged Forward Protons Elastic and Inelastic Processes Elastic Scattering: Roman Pots only Central Production: RP + ToF; Tracks in the TPC Phase II - install RPs so that we can run with STAR without special conditions.

  34. 2 0.5 3 HFT upgrade in STAR • Heavy quark is one of the ideal probes to quantify the properties of the hot dense medium created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. • Heavy quark program at RHIC/STAR is underway. Present physics conclusions are rather qualitative. • With detector upgrades, STAR will be able to perform precision measurements on open charm and quarkonia measurements in p+p, p(d)+A, and A+A collisions. • Precision measurements via direct reconstruction of displayed vertices and particle identification over 2pi covering low and high pT • SSD (existing double sided strip detector) is • outer layer • IST is a layer of silicon strip • PIXEL is 2 inner layers of high resolution • Pixel (MAPS) (18*18 mm) and thin 0.4% Xo • per layer ~ 30 microns pointing resolution at 0.7 GeV/c ~ 30 microns secondary vertex resolution (large p) Crawford

  39. A future challenge The Spin Puzzle The proton is viewed as being a “bag” of bound quarks and gluons interacting via QCD Spins + orbital angular momentum need to give the observed spin 1/2 of proton Fairly well measured only ~30% of spin Being measured at RHIC Crawford

  40. Probing the Sea through Ws • Reconstruct Ws through e+ ande- decay channels • V-A coupling leads to perfect spin separation • Neutrino helicity gives preferred direction in decay Measure parity violating single helicity asymmetry AL (Helicity flip in one beam while averaging over the other) Crawford

Experimentally Measuring ALL Concurrent Measurements: Numbers of ObservablesNijReconstructed for Different Bunch Patterns Relative Luminosity R from BBC Coincidence Rates for different Bunch Patterns Polarization of Beams (magnitude from CNI Polarimeters, direction of polarization vector from combination CNI Polarimeters, BBC) Crawford

  42. First look at “jet-like” events using FMS Event selection done with: • >15 detectors with energy > 0.4GeV in the event • (no single pions in the event) • cone radius = 0.5 (eta-phi space) • “Jet-like” pT > 1 GeV/c ; xF> 0.2 • 2 perimeter fiducial volume cut (small/large cells) ANjet is only sensitive to Sivers Hadron correlation with in jet for Collins effect Crawford arXiv:0901.2828 (NikolaPoljack – SPIN08)

  43. MTD prototype tests • MTD hits: matched with real high pT tracks from TPC • μz distribution has two components: • narrow (muon) and broad (hadron) • spatial resolution (narrow Gaussian) • ~10 cm at pT> 2 GeV • narrow to broad ratio is ~2; can be • improved with dE/dx and TOF cut Crawford

  44. MTD Multi-Resistive-Plate-Chamber (MRPC) cells Long MRPC Technology with double-end readout HV: 6.3 KV gas mixture: 95% Freon + 5% isobutane time resolution: ~ 60 ps spatial resolution: ~ 1cm efficiency: > 95% Crawford

  45. GMT - GEM Monitoring of TPC Tracking • With increasing luminosity space charge distortion becomes major correction to TPC tracking. • Exciting new physics opportunities will become available in STAR with higher luminosity • Many of these rely on precision tracking in the TPC. • Separation of J/Ψ states, • high Pt tracking for jet studies , upsilon, W • possible tracking triggers (fast filters) • good pointing resolution to the silicon detectors at inner radius for charm reconstruction. Crawford

  46. GMT detail Distance in RPhi between hit at Tof and TPC track crossing point (DToF, cm). Constraining corrections using a measurement at outer radius is best done at h~0 and h~1 Z at ToF radius, cm 40x1026 cm-2 * s-1 200. 1026 cm-2 * s-1 at 0.5T field, a 5(10) GeV/c track crossing from the inner TPC pad row to the outer pad row will have a sagitta of 6.3 (3.2) mm ~twice that if primary vtx and/or PIXEL is used in fit Since Dpt/pt ~ Ds/s, need to correct distortions to sub mm level to maintain good momentum resolution. 100. 0. -1. 0. 1.

Photon-Jet at STAR If photon goes to FMS We benefit from ALL But we may lose from pT Jet: |η|<0.8, pT>5 GeV Photon: 1.08<η<2.0, pT>7 GeV back to back in plane • Clean probe of qginteraction • Signal requires more luminosity than dijet measurements: em* s vs. s* s • Want to focus on asymmetric partonic collisions: high-x quark and low-x gluons with the detected in the direction of the incident quark here the cross section and asymmetry is maximized • Shower Maximum Detector (SMD) shower shape & Monte Carlo normalization analysis in progress D.Staszak Crawford

  50. Fluctuation Observables If we pass through a QCD phase transition, we expect a change in the number of degrees of freedom and a corresponding change in particle number fluctuations. We measure the number of pions, kaons, protons, etc in each event and form ratios to cancel volume effects. We then look at fluctuations in the event-by-event ratios as a function of collision energy to find the critical point for QGP<->hadron gas transition. Crawford
