Two Major Discoveries at RHIC • Huge low-p. T v 2 • Huge high-p. T suppression 20 -30% Y. Akiba for the PHENIX collaboration, PLB 630, 2005 Hirano et al. , PRC 77, 2008 – p 0 RAA described by p. QCD – Described by hydro with low viscosity 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 2
Why Are These Interesting? • Want to characterize the QGP – Can’t directly measure • Use indirect tools • Is QGP: – Most perfect fluid ever created/studied? – Can one use strongly and/or weakly coupled field theory methods? • p. QCD vs. Ad. S/CFT • Enormous influence of geometry 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 3
QCD: Theory of the Strong Force • Running as – -b-fcn • SU(Nc = 3) PDG ALEPH, PLB 284, (1992) • Nf(E) – Nf(RHIC) ≈ 2. 5 Griffiths Particle Physics 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 4
What are We Interested In? • Measure manybody physics of strong force • Test & understand theory of manybody non-Abelian fields Long Range Plan, 2008 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 5
HI Collisions Tool for Strong Force Physics Study • Want a consistent picture of matter produced in HI collisions – Then, want to quantify the properties of the produced matter 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 6
Spacetime Evolution of a HI Collision • At RHIC t=-¥ t=0 Initial State Initial Overlap t = 1 fm/c Thermalization t = 3 fm/c QGP t=+¥ t = 4 fm/c Hadronization Hadron Gas – Nontrivial to learn about QGP through HIC 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 7
Methods of QCD Calculation I: Lattice Long Range Plan, 2008 • All momenta • Euclidean correlators Kaczmarek and Zantow, PRD 71 (2005) 10/3/2020 Davies et al. (HPQCD), PRL 92 (2004) EIC at CUA 8
Methods of QCD Calculation II: p. QCD (perturbative QCD) Jäger et al. , PRD 67 (2003) 10/3/2020 d’Enterria, 0902. 2011 • Any quantity • Small coupling (large momenta only) EIC at CUA 9
Methods III: Ad. S/CFT Maldacena conjecture: SYM in d IIB in d+1 Gubser, QM 09 • All quantities • Nc → ∞ SYM, not QCD • Probably not good approx. for p+p; maybe A+A? • Applicable to condensed matter systems? 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 10
Geometry and Flow • Qualitative picture: Anisotropic initial geometry => anisotropic flow 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 11
Hydrodynamics and v 2 • Hydro – Early therm. – ¶m. Tmn = 0 – Equation of State (EOS) – Ideal: h/s = 0 – v 2: 2 nd Fourier coef of particle spectrum: 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 12
Viscous Hydrodynamics • Viscosity reduces elliptic flow – Naive p. QCD => h/s ~ 1 – Naive Ad. S/CFT => h/s ~ 1/4 p Shear Viscosity, Wikipedia 10/3/2020 => Strongly coupled. EICmedium? at CUA Luzum and Romatschke, Phys. Rev. C 78: 034915, 2008 13
Geometry in Viscosity Extraction • Poorly constrained initial geom => 100% uncertainty in viscosity T Hirano, et al. , Phys. Lett. B 636: 299 -304, 2006 – KLN CGC breaks down at edge of nuclear overlap 10/3/2020 • Whole effect comes from edges! • Experimental constraints needed! EIC at CUA 14
Why High-p. T Particles? • Tomography in medicine One can learn a lot from a single probe… and even more with multiple probes PET Scan 10/3/2020 http: //www. fas. org/irp/imint/docs/rst/Intro/P art 2_26 d. html EIC at CUA SPECT-CT Scan uses internal g photons and external X-rays 15
Tomography in QGP • Requires wellcontrolled theory of: – production of rare, highp. T probes p. T f , g, e- • g, u, d, s, c, b – in-medium E-loss – hadronization • Requires precision measurements of decay fragments 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA Invert attenuation pattern => measure medium properties 16
QGP Energy Loss • Learn about E-loss mechanism – Most direct probe of DOF p. QCD Picture Ad. S/CFT Picture 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 17
High-p. T Observables Naively: if medium has no effect, then RAA = 1 Common variables used are transverse momentum, p. T, and angle with respect to the reaction plane, f , g, e- f Fourier expand RAA: 10/3/2020 p. T EIC at CUA 18
p. QCD Rad Picture • Bremsstrahlung Radiation – Weakly-coupled plasma • Medium organizes into Debye-screened centers – T ~ 250 Me. V, g ~ 2 • m ~ g. T ~ 0. 5 Ge. V • lmfp ~ 1/g 2 T ~ 1 fm • RAu ~ 6 fm – 1/m << lmfp << L Gyulassy, Levai, and Vitev, NPB 571 (200) • mult. coh. em. – Bethe-Heitler – LPM dp. T/dt ~ -LT 3 log(p. T/Mq) 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA dp.

p. QCD Success at RHIC: (circa 2005) Y. Akiba for the PHENIX collaboration, PLB 630, 2005 – Consistency: RAA(h)~RAA(p) – Null Control: RAA(g)~1 – GLV Prediction: Theory~Data for reasonable fixed L~5 fm and d. Ng/dy~d. Np/dy 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 20
p. QCD Seemingly Inadequate • Lack of even qualitative understanding p 0 v 2 – p 0, h, g RAA well described, BUT – e- RAA, v 2 is not, even with elastic loss PHENIX p 0 9. 5 Ge. V! W HD G 30 -40% Centrality p 0 RAA Wicks et al. 10/3/2020 p. QCD assumes M << E: b E-loss not under control EIC at CUA Death of p. QCD at RHIC? 21

Geometry and High-p. T v 2 • Effects of geom. on, e. g. v 2, might be quite large – CGC vs. KLN and rotating RP – Effect not large enough WAH and J Jia, in preparation Need experimental constraints on initial geometry! 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 26

T suppression • weakly coupled quasiparticle plasma • Statement that QGP at RHIC is strongly coupled nearly ideal fluid depends sensitively on the IC – Diffuse medium and Ad. S/CFT – Sharp medium and p. QCD • Exciting e. RHIC and LHe. C HI physics opportunities – Knowledge of r (b) extremely important for quantitative (qualitative? ) HI physics 10/3/2020 EIC at CUA 27
