Jets in Nuclear Collisions
Why jets in nuclear collisions? How do we find jets in nuclear collisions? Is hard scattering different in nuclear collisions than in
e+e- or pp collisions? What happens in the nuclear medium?
Is jet transport & fragmentation changed? What do we still want to know?

Why collide nuclei at s=200 GeV/A?
high energy nuclear collisions should create quark gluon plasma
At high temperature and density: T~170 MeV and/or ~50 Debye screening by produced color-chargesexpect transition to “free” gas of quarks and gluons
Attractive potentialConfinement at large distance

Plasma physics of the quark gluon plasma?
Want to knowpressure, viscosity, energy gradients, equation of state,thermalization time & extent
determine from collective behavior
Other plasma parametersradiation rate, collision frequency, conductivity, opacity, Debye screening length?
what is interaction of q,g in the medum? need short wavelength strongly interacting
probe
high momentum q,g provide just this!

before they create jets, the scattered quarks radiate energy (~ GeV/fm) in the colored medium
Approach:calculate jet rate, test in pp, compare jets in A+A to p+p

QCD and EM Radiation

BUT radiated gluons also interact with gluons in the medium! Energy loss depends on gluon density along the path.

• Inelastic (radiative) energy loss
QCD is very differentfrom QED in the
ability of the gluon to reinteract
9
Energy loss expected
Since QCD is non-abelian, even 1 scattering in final state is sufficient to generate energy loss
Remember that radiated gluon couples to medium!
formation length of max E gluon: lF ~ 2E/2 ( = pT kick )
E ~ E x L/ x L 2/2E ~ 2 L 2 /2 standard radiationwith no interference
formation time of radiated gluon( gluon interaction probability)
So:
In normal, cold nuclei dE/dx ~ 0.5 GeV/fm
Prediction for RHIC: 10x E of cold nuclei

How do we find jets in nuclear collisions?
In p+p can look for hadrons in the characteristic “cone” pattern
How to find the jet?
s=200 GeV energy is modest; jet not large

3 Ways to “Skin a Cat Jet”
1) Single Particle Spectra:High pT dominantly from jets

2) 2-Particle Correlations:dN/d()
3) Jet Reconstruction:d/dET, Fragmentation function

18
Is the message in the medium?
Is there “jet quenching” as predicted from energy loss? count high pT particles (AA vs. pp) look at back-to-back jets
How much energy do fast partons lose?What does it tell us about the medium?
Where does the “lost” energy go?
What does the presence of q and q in the QGP do to jet fragmentation?
19
Technique to search for jet quenching
Compare to baseline: nucleon-nucleon collisions at the same energy
To 0’th order: Au + Au collisions start with collisions of quarks & gluons in the individual N-N reactions(+ effects ofnuclear binding andcollective excitations)
Hard scattering (p transfer > few GeV) processes scale as the number of N-N binary collisions <Nbinary>
so for pT> 2 GeV/c expect: YieldA-A = YieldN-N . <Nbinary>

Wavefunction of low x gluons overlap; the self-coupling gluons fuse, saturating the density of

Standard picture
If true:
fragmentation independent of medium
Baryon/meson at high pT same in Au+Au and p+p
32
Formation time of fragmentation hadrons
Uncertainty principle relates hadron formation time to hadron size, Rh and mass, mh
In laboratory frame: f ~ Rh (Eh /mh)consider 2.5 GeV pT hadrons
f ~ 9-18 fm/c for pions; Rh~0.5-1 fm
f ~ 2.7 fm/c for baryons (Rh~1 fm) Alternatively, consider color singlet dipoles from
combination of q & q from gluon splittingUsing gluon formation time, can estimatef ~ 2Eh (1-z)/(kT
2+mh2)
for z = 0.6-0.8 and kT ~ QCD (f baryons) ~ 1-2 fm/c R(Au nucleus) ~ 7 fm Baryon formation is NOT outside the medium!
33
We observe a puzzle
h/0 ratio shows that p is enhanced only < 5 GeV/c
34

•particle ratios and spectra OK
•intermediate pT hadrons from
coalescence of flowing partons NOT from jets, so no jet-like associated particles
37
But baryons show jet-like properties too…
Baryons at 2-4 GeV/c pT scale with Ncoll !
38
So baryons seem jet-like!
baryons & antibaryons not suppressed!? parton E depends upon what fragmentation WILL be???
baryon excess due to fragmentation function modification?Step 1: determine if baryons are from jets
do we see hadronic partners from the same jet?Step 2: calculate effect of q,q in surrounding medium upon
(soft part of) fragmentation function

39
Step 1: use 2 particle correlations
Select particles with pT= 2.5-4.0GeV/c
Identify them as mesons or baryons viaTime-of-flight
Find second particle with pT = 1.7-2.5GeV/c
Plot distribution of the pair opening angles
40
Jets in PHENIX
Large multiplicity of charged particles--solution: find jets in a statistical manner using angular correlations of particles
mixed events give combinatorial background 2 x 90 degree acceptance in phi and ||<0.35
--solution: correct for azimuthal acceptance,
but not for acceptance Elliptic flow correlations
--solutions: use published strength values and subtract (could integrate over 90° to integrate all even harmonics to zero)

Conclusion about fragmentation function
It’s modified in the medium!Au+Au jets richer in soft hadrons than p+p or d+AuAu+Au jets baryon yield increases with medium volume
Maybe some evidence that jet fragments are beginning to thermalize in the medium
