Goal: Quarkonia states in A+A

Charmonia: J/Ψ, Ψ’, χc Bottomonia: ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S), ϒ(3S),χB Key Idea: Quarkonia Melt in the plasma

•  Color screening of static potential between heavy quarks •  Suppression of states is determined by TC and their binding energy •  Lattice QCD: Evaluation of spectral functions ⇒ Tmelting

•  Originaly proposed by Matsui & Satz (1986)

When do states melt?

Quarkonia at RHIC

•  A cleaner probe compared to J/Ψ • co-mover absorption → negligible • recombination → negligible

• σcc = ~800 µb • σbb= ~ 2µb

•  Challenge: low rate, rare probe –  Large acceptance detector –  Efficient trigger

Level 0 Trigger (p+p,d+Au,Au+Au): • Hardware-based • Fires on at least one high tower

Level 2 Trigger (p+p,d+Au): • Software-based • Calculates:

• Cluster energies • Opening angle • Mass

High rejection rate allowed us to sample entire luminosity

Javier Castillo

Comparison with models – Transport

• RAA of inclusive Υ(1S) in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV

• A. Emerick et al., [EPJ A48 (2012) 72]– Transport model– Suppression of Υ resonances by the QGP

• Mainly of the higher mass states– Small regeneration component included– Feed down from higher mass states included– CNM included via an “effective” σABS = 0–2 mb

11

Model does not reproduce the strong rapidity dependence of the RAA and underestimates the Υ(1S) suppression at forward rapidity

• Stronger suppression of direct Υ(1S)?• Role of regeneration?• Role of CNM?

ϒ with STAR MTD

• A detector with long-MRPCs – Covers the whole iron bars and leave the gaps in between uncovered. – Acceptance: 45% at ||<0.5 – 122 modules, 1464 readout strips, 2928 readout channels

• Long-MRPC detector technology, electronics same as used in STAR-TOF • Run 2012 -- 10%; 2013 – 60%+; 2014 – 100%:  ϒ  via  +-

Intermediate Silicon Tracker:

single-sided double-metal silicon pad

sensors with 600 µm × 6 mm pitch

σr-φ: 170 µm σz: 1800 µm

radius: 14 cm X/X0 < 1.5 % See details at poster M-30 by Yaping Wang

The task of SSD and IST is to guide the track from TPC to the innermost PXL detector with high hit density.

Silicon Strip Detector:

existing detector with new faster electronics

double sided silicon strip modules with 95 µm pitch

σr-φ: 20 µm

σz: 740 µm

radius: 22 cm

Conclusions

•  Measured ϒ production in p+p, d+Au, and ���Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV

•  Au+Au results consistent with 2S and 3S suppression

•  d+Au results hint at additional suppression beyond model calculations – Further studies warranted

•  New muon channel will enhance and compliment our electron measurements
