  1. Mostly Strangeness Recent Results from BRAHMS J.H. Lee Physics Department Brookhaven National Laboratory For the Collaboration March 27 2006 J.H. Lee (BNL)

  2. Short Introduction • BRAHMS in “1 page” • What have we learned so far? Selected Published + Preliminary Results • Outlook/Summary J.H. Lee (BNL)

  3. Forward Physics in R.H.I. Collisions: Mapping Space-time Evolution • Formation of Hot Matter, QGP? • -Identifying and Characterizing the Hot Matter • - How does the system extend/develop? Transverse and longitudinal dynamics • - Strong constraints for theoretical modeling/interpretation • Initial Conditions/Partonic Dynamics: High-pT vs y • Collective Hydro-dynamics: Flow (radial and elliptic) vs y: “Viscometer” • Thermodynamic and freeze-out properties: Temperatures, Ratios, HBT vs y • Baryon Transport: Net-baryon vs y • Bulk Properties: multiplicity, dN/dy J.H. Lee (BNL)

  4. FS PID using RICH Multiple settings Braod RAnge Hadron Magnetic Spectrometers • Designed to study nuclear reactions in broad kinematic range (y-pT) • 2 movable spectrometers with small solid angle measuring charged identified hardrons precisely • Centrality detectors (Si+Scintillator Tiles) to characterize events • 53 people from 12 institutions from 5 countries J.H. Lee (BNL)

  5. Baryon Transport: How much energy available from the collision? Net-proton in p+p PRL 93 102301 (2004) Au+Au 200 GeV 0-5% Central H. Yang, Symposium • AGS->RHIC : Stopping -> Transparency • Rapidity Loss <dy>: 2±0.4: not linearly increase with ybeam • Energy loss <dE> per nucleon: 73±6 GeV • Available energy for excitation: ~3/4 of total energy J.H. Lee (BNL)

  6. Rapidity Dependent Kaon Balence: “Net”-kaon (K+-K-) • longitudinal net-kaon evolution similar as net-proton • in |y|< 3 at RHIC (AuAu @ 200 GeV) • strong “association”: net-kaon / net-lambda /net-proton? J.H. Lee (BNL)

  7. Baryon/meson (p/p+,pbar/p-) at √s = 200 GeV • proton dominates at y~3: R(p/p+)y~3 ~ 2* R(p/p+) y~0 • for central AuAu, CuCu and pp: baryon transport • pbar at y~3: R(pbar/p-)y~3 ~ 0.5* R(p/p-) y~0 • Scale with <Npart>, independent of system at h=0 and 3.2 • Decrease with rapidity and increase with <Npart> and pT • (flow , medium effect) • Ratio independent of centrality J.H. Lee (BNL)

  8. Limiting Fragmentation: Longitudinal Scaling PRL 94 (2005) PRL 88 (2002) d+Au sNN=200GeV sNN=19.4GeV Au+Au sNN=200GeV • Particle production independent of beam energy • near beam rapidity: Limiting fragmentation behavior • “Crucial Observation” (L.M.) for universal QCD J.H. Lee (BNL)

  9. Limiting Fragmentation of pion and Kaon BRAHMS/RHIC + SPS + AGS p- J.H. Lee (BNL)

  10. “Extended” Longitudinal Scaling for <mT> for K- BRAHMS Preliminary BRAHMS Preliminary PHOBOS PRL 94 (2005) • K- <mT> decreases with rapidity • Longitudinal Scaling in all available rapidity ranges • <pt> driving Hydro J.H. Lee (BNL)

  11. Energy dependent K/p for central AuAu 200GeV 63 GeV • K/p: No surprises at 63 GeV • 200 and 63 GeV: Similar rapidity dependence J.H. Lee (BNL)

  12. K/p vs pT at h~3.2 at √s = 200 GeV • K/p increase with system size • K/p increase with pT (~ < 2GeV/c) at forward J.H. Lee (BNL)

  13. Flowing at Forward v2 for pion • Understanding missing low-pt fraction is important for integrated v2 from FS • Kaon and proton v2 will come: Statistically Challenging • v2(y~0) ~ v2(y~3) for 0.5<pT<2 GeV/c J.H. Lee (BNL)

  14. BRAHMS NA49 AGS Rapidity Dependent High-pT Measurement y~0 • At the RHIC energies, hardscattering processes at high-pT become important • Partonsare expected to looseenergyin the dense matter • Different rapidities provide different densities of the medium: Sensitive to the dynamics • “Dialing” initial condition channel • Largest medium effect at mid-rapidity (“Scale” to multiplicity)? • Rapidity dependent high-pTsuppression factors: provide information on dynamical medium effect at fixed time high-y J.H. Lee (BNL)

  15. pp at forward : more then reference spectra BRAHMS Preliminary pT (GeV/c) • NLO pQCD describes data at forward rapidity at 200 GeV • K- are described best by KKP (Kniehl-Kramer-Potter) than Kretzer • (NLO pQCD Calculations done by W. Vogelsang) J.H. Lee (BNL)

  16. Energy and System Dependent Nuclear Modification Factors at h~0 and 1 • R AuAu (200 GeV) < RAuAu(63 GeV) < RCuCu(63 GeV) for charged hadrons • Pp at 63 GeV is ISR Data (NPB100), RHIC-Run6 will provide better reference J.H. Lee (BNL)

  17. Nuclear Modification Factors (Rcp, RAuAu) for p,K,p at y~3.1 • Suppression for pions and Kaons: RAuAu: p<K<p • RAuAu ≠ Rcp (<Ncoll>,<Npart> for 40-60% ~ 70,56) J.H. Lee (BNL)

  18. RAuAu(Y=0) ~ RAuAu(y~3) for 0-10% Central at √s = 200 GeV • R AuAu (Y=0) ~ RAuAu(y~3) for pions and protons: Accidental? • Rapidity dependent interplay of Medium effect + Hydro + baryon transport J.H. Lee (BNL)

  19. RdAu Update: Identified Particle RdAu at y~3 + blue - red BRAHMS Preliminary • RdAu of identified particle consistent with published h- results • dAu(p-)/dAu(p+): Valance quark isospin dominates in pp? J.H. Lee (BNL)

  20. System, Energy dependent - Strangeness production - Freeze-out chemistry Turning off the medium effect in Rapidity, Energy, Species? - Rcp, RAA at higher-rapidity h~3.5 for Kaon Universal (QCD) property at forward? Saturation – Fragmentation - “Complete” rapidity and pT-dependent kaon measurement for pp, dA, AA Longitudinal (partonic) dynamics of strangeness: - rapidity, pt, centrality, reaction-plane dependent kaon yield,ratios - v2 vs y for kaons pQCD vs forward kaons in pp Strangeness spin physics also: - Transverse single spin Asymmetries for K at “high”-xF Strangeness Physics from 5 years of BRAHMS running J.H. Lee (BNL)

  21. Summary Strong transverse/elliptic flow in y<3 High energy density >> nuclear density Limiting fragmentation - y  2 - 25 TeV left for particle production (local) Chemical equilibration Non-hadronic energy loss through the medium in |y|<3: Onset of gluon saturation? J.H. Lee (BNL)
