  1. Measurement of Heavy Quark production at RHIC-PHENIX Yuhei Morino CNS, University of Tokyo

  2. flow & energy loss ? • insight into the property of the medium 1.Introduction • RHIC is for the study of extreme hot and dense matter. • p+p, d+Au, Cu+Cu, Au+Au collision • √s = 22.4, 62, 130, 200 GeV A. • Heavy quarks (charm and bottom) is produced in initial collision • good probe for studying property of the medium. • small energy loss and large thermal equilibration time are expected due to their large mass.

  3. 2.PHENIX experiment • PHENIX central arm: • |h| < 0.35 • Df = 2 x p/2 • p > 0.2 GeV/c • Charged particle tracking analysis using DC and PC → p • Electron identification • Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH) • Electro- Magnetic Calorimeter (EMC) → energy E

  4. 3.Heavy quark measurement at PHENIX electron/muon from semileptonic decay direct measurement: DKp, DKpp p+

  5. PRL, 97, 252002 (2006) Upper limit of FONLL 3.2 Result of p+p at sNN = 200 GeV Inclusive electron ( g conversion, p daliz,etc and heavy quark ) Background subtraction Non-photonic electron (charm and bottom) • scc= 567 ± 57(stat) ± 224(sys) mb • FONLL: Fixed Order plus Next to Leading Log pQCD • Central value for data/FONLL predictions ~1.7 ( reasonable value)

  6. MB 0%~ ~92% p+p 3.3 Result of Au+Au at sNN = 200 GeV PHENIX PRL98 173301 (2007) Heavy flavor electron compared to binary scaled p+p data (FONLL*1.71) Clear high pT suppression in central collisions

  7. 3.4 Nuclear Modification Factor: RAA large suppression! PHENIX PRL98 173301 (2007) Djordjevic, PLB632 81 (2006) • Radiative energy loss • does not describe!. • dead cone effect

  8. Greco, Ko, Rapp: PLB 595 (2004) 202 data suggests non-zero charm v2  charm is strongly coupled to the matter. 3.5 Non-photonic electron v2 pQCD fail [PRB637,362]

  9. PLB649(2007)139 Collisional dissociation heavy quarks can fragment • inside the medium and can • be suppressed by dissociation be RAA ce RAA 3.6 comparison with models. various models exist. • pQCD radiative E-loss with • 10-fold upscaled transport coeff. • elastic pQCD + D resonances • + coalescence • 2-6 upscaled pQCD elastic behavior of bottom differ from charm c/b separation is necessary for further discussion. These calculations suggest that DHQ (~(3~6)/2pT..near quantum bound) are required to reproduce the data.

  10. 4. B contribution to non-photonic electron FONLL: • FONLL: • Fixed Order plus Next to Leading Log pQCD calculation • Large uncertainty on c/b crossing 3 to 9 GeV/c Experimental determination of ce/be is one of most important next steps

  16. 6. Direct measurement of D0 D0K+p-p+ reconstruction • Year5 p+p s=200GeV data set is used • Observe 3s significant signal in pT D range 5 ~ 15 GeV/c • No clear signal is seen for pT D < 5 GeV/c • The signal is undetectably small for pT D > 15 GeV/c • Signal is fitted with parabola(B) + gaussian(S)

  17. Momentum Dependence 6.2 Direct measurement of D0 D0K+p-p+ reconstruction Analysis to determine invariant cross section is on going. Observe clear peak in all pT bins from 5 GeV/c to 10 GeV/c Fits are parabola + gaussian Background is uniform within fitting range

  19. Summary and outlook • A large suppression pattern and azimuthal anisotropy of single electron has been observed in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200GeV. • be/(ce + be) has been studied in p+p collisions at √s =200GeV via e-h correlation for further discussion.  analysis for more statistics and high pt extension is on going • Clear peak of D0 meson observed in p+p collisions at √s =200GeV in D0K+p-p0 and D0K+p-channels. Analysis to determine invariant cross section is on going. The results of direct measurement will be compared with the results of measurement via semi-leptonic decay

  22. Background Subtraction: Cocktail Method Most sources of background have been measured in PHENIX Decay kinematics and photon conversions can be reconstructed by detector simulation Then, subtract “cocktail” of all background electrons from the inclusive spectrum Advantage is small statistical error.
