Not to be discussed in detail• Hydro => good description for ..• sQGP seem to be the most perfect fluid known
/s= .1-.2<<1• Relation to other strongly coupled systems,
from atomic experiments to string theory To be discussed• how strong is strong? => When bound states
occure (ES+Zahed,2003)• Zero binding lines =>large cross sections =>
explains small mean free path ?• Many colored bound states => solution toseveral lattice puzzles =>high mutual concistency
of lattice data: masses, potentials, EoS

Outline cont: new ideas
• Jet quenching due to ``ionization” of new bound states(I.Zahed+ES)
• Conical flow from quenched jets (Casalderrey, ES,Teaney)
Bound states (,,) and a near-threshold bump in QGP => dileptons => quasiparticle masses and their interaction (Jorge Casalderrey +ES)

•We cannot pump the QCD vacuum out, but we can pump in something else, namely the Quark-Gluon Plasma –arguments from 1970’s
• QGP was looked at as a much simpler thing, to be described by pQCD. We now see it is also quite complicated matter, sQGP…

Why is v2 so sensitive to the initial time?
The maximal v2is at rather peripheral bin => a ``thin almond”.

Elliptic flow with ultracold trapped Li6 atoms, a=> infinity regime via the so called Feshbach resonance
The system is extremely dilute, but it still goes into a hydro regime, with an elliptic flow: cross section changes by about 10^6 or so!
Is it a good liquid? How good?
It works for cold atoms!
The coolest thing on Earth, T=10 nK or 10^(-12) eV can actually produce a Micro-Bang !

Sonic boom from quenched jets
• the energy deposited by jets into liquid-like strongly coupled QGP must go into conical shock waves, similar to the well known sonic boom from supersonic planes.
• We solved relativistic hydrodynamics and got the flow picture
• If there are start and end points, there are two spheres and a cone tangent to both

How to observe it?
• the direction of the flow is normal to Mach cone, defined entirely by ratio of the speed of sound to the speed of light
• Unlike the (QCD) radiation, the angle is not shrinking 1/ with increase of the momentum of the jet but is the same for all jet momenta
• At high enough pt a punch through expected, filling the cone
![Page 16: How should we probe a Strongly Coupled QGP? How should we probe a Strongly Coupled QGP? Edward Shuryak Department of Physics and Astronomy State University](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042616/56649ec65503460f94bd223f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Is such a sonic boom already observed?
M.Miller, QM04
flow of matter normal to the Mach cone seems to be observed! See data from STAR,

So, one can determine the speed of sound (=>EoS), but at what time?
• At kinetic freezeout, =12-15 fm/c, and that is why we used cs
2=.16-.2 for resonance gas
• That was because we considered central collisions (to awoid complications with elliptic flow subtraction) in which a jet has to go about a diameter of Au
• One can use semi-peripheral and play withJet orientation relative to collision plane and
change timing

Calculation of the ionization rateES+Zahed, hep-ph/0406100
• Smaller than radiative loss if L>.5-1 fm
• Is there mostly near the zero binding lines,
• Thus it is different from both radiative and elastic looses, which are simply proportional to density
• Relates to non-trivial energy dependence of jet quenching (smaller at 62 and near absent at SPS)

• M(charm) is large, MDebye is not, about 2T
• If (Md) indeed runs and is about ½-1, it is large enough to bind charmonium till about T=3Tc
• Since q and g quasiparticles are heavy,
M about 3T, they are bound as well !

The pressure The pressure puzzle puzzle p/p(SB)=.8 from about .3 GeV
to very large value. Interpreted as an argument that interaction is relatively weak (0.2) and can be resumed, although pQCD series are bad…
BUT: we recently learned that storng coupling result in N=4 SYM leads to about 0.8 as well at g2N» 10
•This turned out to be the most misleading picture we had, fooling us for nearly 20 years

A near-threshold enhancement (``bump”)
should exist at any T• Why bump?
Because attraction between anti-q q in QGP enhances annihilation
Example: pp(gg) -> t t at Fermilab has a bump near threshold (2mt) due to gluon exchanges. The nonrelat. Gamow parameter for small velocity z= (4/3)s/v > 1,Produces a bump: theFactor z/(1-exp(-z))Cancels v in phase space
