Outline First of all, there’s too much data!!
Focus on some recent results and analyses BRAHMS PHOBOS PHENIX STAR
Low, Intermediate, High-pt
Can we understand it? Can at least some of it be synthesised?SpectraFlow
3
Particle Spectra in Au+Au, STAR |y|<.5
Hydro inspired “Thermal” Fits (input to Blast-Wave parameterization) (T, t) = (170 MeV, 0.6c) Large transverse flow component in central collisions.
STAR Preliminary
4
Hydrodynamics Equation of State
Low pt, 99.5% of particles are below 2 GeV.
Hydrodynamics describes bulk particle momentum distributions
Hydro is limit of zero mean free path…early phase dominated by strong interactions?Calculations too long a system lifetime (still work to do)Enormous initial pressure, but decouples quickly (~10 fm/c)
5
Spectra at large y, BRAHMS.
y=3 Thermal fit
T = 0.42
T = 140 MeV
y=0 Thermal fit
T = 0.53
T = 138. MeV
y=3
Radial flow decreasesat large rapidity.Boost invariant region is onlyabout 1 unit wide! 3-D hydro
6
Charged hadrons at large , PHOBOS
T. Hirano
Hydrodynamics:Mid-rapidity data is well described, but larger rapidity is not.
7
Particle Ratios and Statistical Models
Statistical models do a very good job.Values Tch are very close to expected Tcrit from lattice.
However, this alone cannot prove a phase transition nor that the system is thermal; but coupled with agreement from hydrodynamics (spectra and v2), evidence starts to increase…
8
Intermediate pt, spectra for various masses
Yield of p () similar to (K) at ~3 GeV, flow effect for heavierparticle/baryon?
9
Compare with scaling by Ncoll…
K0s and 0 show
suppression at 2-3 GeV, p and do not… strong radial flow for heavier particles?
10
Particles with Similar Mass
Differ at low pt, similar at ~3 GeV
Reflection of Flow? Rescattering? Recombination?
Rescattering has effect on other observables: resonances! (See Patricia’s talk)
11
Wealth of data!
It is very important to try to understand as much of the combined measurements as possibleUnder a single framework!
Many times, predictions work for observable A but fail for observable B. Need a coherent picture!
Some recent ideas:Hydro-inspired Blast-wave (won’t go into it)Recombination+FragmentationSingle Freeze-out

F+R: Model assumptions
at low pt, quarks and antiquarks recombine into hadrons locally “at an instant”:
hadron momentum P is much larger than average momentum Δp2 of the internal quark wave function of the hadron; features of the parton spectrum are shifted
to higher pt in the hadron spectrum parton spectrum has thermal part (quarks) and
a power law tail (quarks and gluons) from pQCD.

Does it fit the measured spectra?

High pt suppression.
Reproduces charged hadron suppression, and flavor dependence.Prediction, quenching for protons above 6 GeV, where fragmentation starts to dominate
19
What about v2?
20
Does v2 reflect partonic flow?
Recombination model suggests that hadronic flow reflects partonic flow (n = number of valence quarks):

Identified Particle Spectra at RHIC @ 200 GeV
Feed-down matters !!!

Single freeze-out model, Tch = Tkin?
W. Broniowski and W. Florkowski, PRC 65 064905 (2002), for 130 GeVA. Baran, W. Broniowski, W. Florkowski nucl-th/0305075 for 200 GeV ratios and spectra.
Very nice feature, includefeeddown in the calculations.
Describe spectra and ratiosvs pt and vs centrality well
Supports the use of thermal approach to heavy ion collisions
If Tch=Tkin, very explosive expansion!
23
High-pt: Latest news from the d+Au run
In Au+Au, suppression of high-pt hadrons and of away side jet, not seen in d+Au. Final state effect…consistent with the production of dense matter!!

Summary & Conclusions All 4 RHIC experiments have continued their outpour
of measurements. Low pt spectra, hydrodynamic fits, statistical models
taken together yield support (albeit don’t prove) to a high density thermalized phase. Still trouble in the longitudinal direction (HBT, v2 vs y)
We are beginning to see more theoretical efforts that encompass various observables! That is good! Spectra, flow, correlations. Would like to understand in
one picture, pt, y and centrality dependence. Fragmentation + Recombination: aplicability of the
recombination regime to 3-6 GeV, fragmentation dominates at a higher pt than one naïvely expected.
v2 of hadrons reflects v2 of constituent quarks (? and !)
High-pt spectra and correlations: suppression of hadrons and away-side jet is a final state effect.
