The RHIC Beam Energy Scan Project
A landmark of the QCD phase diagram
• Since the original design of RHIC (1985), running at lower energies has been envisioned
• RHIC has studied the possibilities of running lower energies with a series of test runs: 19.6 GeV Au+Au in 2001, 22.4 GeV Cu+Cu in 2005, and 9.2 GeV Au+Au in 2008
• In 2009 the RHIC PAC approved a proposal to run a series of six energies to search for the critical point and the onset of deconfinement.
• These energies were run during the 2010 and 2011 running periods.

For pT < 2 GeV/c: v2 values rise with increasing √sNN For pT ≥ 2 GeV/c: v2 values are (within stat. errors) comparableThe increase of v2 with √sNN,could be due to change of chemical composition and/or larger collectivity at higher collision energy.

SummaryResults from BES program covering large mB range
provide important constraint on QCD phase diagram.
Different features show up:– Proton v1 slope changes sign between 7.7 GeV and 11.5 GeV– Particles-antiparticles v2 difference increases with decreasing √sNN
– f-meson v2 deviates from others for √sNN ≤ 11.5 GeV
Search for the critical point continues:- Proposed BES-II program - Fixed target proposal to extend mB coverage up to 800 MeV

Lattice Gauge Theory (LGT) prediction on the transition temperature TC is robust.
LGT calculation, universality, and models hinted the existence of the critical point on the QCD phase diagram* at finite baryon chemical potential.
Experimental evidence for either the critical point or 1st order transition is important for our knowledge of the QCD phase diagram*.

Detector performance generally improves at lower energies.
Geometric acceptance remains the same, track density gets lower.Triggering required effort, but was a solvable problem.

Time evolution of the collision geometry
Kolb and Heinz, 2003, nucl-th/0305084
Initial out-of-plane eccentricity Stronger in-plane pressure gradients drive preferential in-plane expansion Longer lifetimes or stronger pressure gradients cause more expansion and more spherical freeze-out shape
We want to measure the eccentricity at freeze out, εF, as a function of energy using azimuthal femtoscopic radii Rx and Ry:
Evolution of the initial shape depends on the pressure anisotropy ● - Freeze-out eccentricity sensitive to the 1st order phase transition.
Non-monotonic behavior could indicate a soft point in the equation of state.
