  3. Summary of BRAHMS data from RHIC2001 (Run2) running Data • Au+Au and p+p at full energy: sNN =200 GeV • All detectors were installed and working at all centralities • Higher level triggers (Vertex/Centrality/Spectrometer) implemented • ~25M physics events taken • Initial scan of “soft” physics • Selected high-pt and HBT runs Measurements • Charged particle multiplicity (dN/dh): published in PRL • Particle ratios: Will be publishedin PRL • Identified hadron spectra and yields at selected rapidities - Net-proton - dN/dy, slope vs y for p,K,p • High-pT hadrons/p (up to pT ~ 6 GeV/c at y ~ 0, pT~4 at y~2) • Limited HBT

  4. The BRAHMS experimentSetup used for Au+Au data in 2001 J.H. Lee (BNL)

  5. BRAHMS Acceptance A wide range of y and pt is covered by rotating two spectrometers with various magnetic fields. 10 degree 90o 25 GeV/c MRS FS 4o 2.3 degree J.H. Lee (BNL)

  6. Anti-particle/particle ratios vs rapidity at SNN=200 GeV • At y=0 (20% central) pbar/p = 0.75 ±0.04 K-/K+ = 0.95 ±0.05 p-/p+ = 1.01 ±0.04 • Highest pbar/p ratio but still incomplete transparency (~17% increase from 130 GeV) • Ratios ~identical over +-1 unit around mid-rapidity. • Weak centrality and pT dependence • No Hyperon feed down correction applied:less then 5% correction assuming • Lambda/p ~ 0.5 and pbar/p ~ Lambda-Bar/Lambda To be published in PRL : nucl-ex/0207006 J.H. Lee (BNL)

  7. Ratios: Data and AMPT 0-20% at SNN=200 GeV K-/K+ AMPT 20% Central (all pt) Pbar/p • K-/K+ Ratio decreases with y : Inconsistent with models: AMPT, HIJING (AMPT describe other rapidity dependent measurements best so far) • Where is the rest of strangeness at forward? Lambda? J.H. Lee (BNL)

  8. “Universal” Correlation in K-/K+ vs pbar/p? • By simple quark counting in quark recombination K-/K+ = exp(2ms/T)exp(-2mq/T) = exp(2ms/T)(pbar/p)1/3 = (pbar/p)1/3 by assuming local (y) strangeness conservation • K-/K+=(pbar/p)a a = 0.24±0.02 for BRAHMS a = 0.20±0.01 for SPS • Good agreement with the statistical-thermal model prediction by Beccatini et al. (PRC64 2001): Based on SPS results and assuming T=170 MeV From y=0 to 3 At y=0 J.H. Lee (BNL) To be published in PRL

  9. p,K,p Spectra at 0-10% Central at y=0 and y = 3 • Spectra gets softer at higher rapidity • pbar yield drops rapidly with rapidity • protons and pions converge/cross: - y~0: pT 2 GeV/c - y~3: pT 1.2 GeV/c • Protons over K+ - y~0: at high pT (>1GeV/c) - y~3: at all pT J.H. Lee (BNL)

  10. dN/dy at sNN =200 GeV 0-10% central • y width: p,K+ > K- • K broader than SPS • p,K spectra can be fitted by a single Gaussian • Integrated yields are consistent with dNcharged/d distributions J.H. Lee (BNL)

  11. Strangeness : ratio K/ K/p ratio increases as pT increases at y=0 and y=3 J.H. Lee (BNL)

  12. Inverse mTSlope vs. Mass for 0-10% central • All fits are in mT: over same range for all particles, at all rapidities • Show only positive but Negative  Positive • Inverse slope decreases as y increases • Inverse slope increase with mass: transverse flow at all covered rapidities BRAHMS Preliminary y~0, 0.9 y~3 J.H. Lee (BNL)

  13. Strangeness : K/ systematics • K/p ratio flattens at RHIC energy at y~0 • K/p at y~3: similar to SPS (Pb+Pb Central at 17 GeV) - Inverse mT slope also similar - K: T~230 p: T~200 Y=3 Y=0 BRAHMS Preliminary J.H. Lee (BNL)

  14. dN/dy of Net-proton and Models for 0-10% central • “Plateau” at |y| < 1 the yields by 18, 20% at y=0,2.9 • Net-baryon at y =0: ~16 (if N(proton)/N(neutron)  1 ) • More data to be analyzed (at y~2,3.3) • Hyperon feed down will reduce • A range of models is still allowed with these data. J.H. Lee (BNL)

  15. Estimate of amount of stopping • Estimatingy =  (ybeam-y) dN/dy /  dN/dy , as has been done for lower energy data. • Baryon conservation tells us net(p) ~ 68 for Npart~340 (0-10%) or ~85 in the case of full proton/neutron equilibration, N(p) = N(n). • The net(p) measured is ~36. Distributing the remaining 32(53) protons in rapidity interval 3-5.4 with a variety of assumptions leads to an estimated range of • dy of 1.8-2.4. I.e. 2.1 ±0.3. Either extremes would require unusual rapidity distributions. • Even though we do not have measurements in 3-5.4,we may extend another .4 units in future how can we estimate rapidity loss. • We plan to refine this value once all data have been analyzed. J.H. Lee (BNL)

  16. Charged Hadron Spectra as a function of rapidity at y=0 • Mean pt: -increase at low pt -decrease at high pt as <Npart> increase • Collective flow at low pt + Suppression at high pt BRAHMS Preliminary BRAHMS Preliminary J.H. Lee (BNL)

  17. High-pT Physics:Central/Semi-peripheral collisions at y = 0 Yield/<Ncoll>0-10%/Yield/<Ncoll>40-60% • Charged hadron spectra scaled by the number of binary collisions. • high pT suppression in central collisions (0-10%) compared to semi-peripheral (40-60%) • Identified particles at y=0,2:analysis in progress . BRAHMS Preliminary J.H. Lee (BNL)

  18. Spectra vs Centrality at y=0 sNN =200 GeV BRAHMS Preliminary J.H. Lee (BNL)

  19. K/p ratios at y = 0 sNN =200 GeV • K/p ratios increase with pT and centrality BRAHMS Preliminary BRAHMS Preliminary J.H. Lee (BNL)

  20. dN/dy per participant at y=0sNN =200 GeV • For all the particle species, the yield per participant increase with Npart. • K±, p, pbar yields per participant rise faster than p± yield. • Errors statistical only on plot. • Systematic error ~10-20% • Dominant syst. error from Npart determination, and extrapolation of yields. BRAHMS Preliminary J.H. Lee (BNL)

  21. <pt> vs Npart at y=0 • <pT>-pTmin • 0.4-2.4 for pion • 0.6-2.2 for kaon • 0.5-3.4 for p/pbar • <pt> increase with <Npart> and mass: p and pbar increase fast with <Npart>: consistent with radial expansion picture BRAHMS Preliminary p K p J.H. Lee (BNL)

  22. Extended PID for High pt measurements at y=0 – 1 • New Cherenkov detector C4 + TOFW2 at Mid-Rapidity Spectrometer • Currently taking data (d+Au) • p/K identification up to p = 8 GeV/c (Forward Spectrometer PID up to p = 25 GeV/c) • “high-pt” pion measurement up to 5 GeV at y ~ 0 (luminosity limited) J.H. Lee (BNL)

  23. What to expect in the near future Analysis in Progress • Centrality dependent yield/specta at y ~ 0,1,2,3 • Net-proton y ~ 2, 3.3: Better understanding of rapidity loss • Blast-Wave Fit in all rapidities • Identified High-pT (< 4GeV/c) spectra at y=0 and y=2 Run3 (d+Au,p+p), Run4 (Au+Au) • d+Au run in progrsss • Identified high-pt physics: up to pT = 8 GeV at y=0 • Identified yields as a function of reaction plane for y=0-3 with re-configured Si-detector (in discussion) • HBT as a function of rapidity and reaction plane at y=1,3 J.H. Lee (BNL)

  24. Summary: Strangeness Measurements in BRAHMS at sNN =200 GeV At y = 0 – 3: • K-/K+: approximately constant over ±1 unit of rapidity and fall off with y • ”Universal” correlation: K-/K+~(pbar/p)1/4 • K±/p±increase with pT for all rapidities • Kaon production at y=3 at sNN =200 GeV similar as y=0 at SPS • Kaon inverse slope decreases with rapidity • Low to high chemical potential from y=0 to t=3 At y=0: • For K±, the yield per participant increase with Npart. • K±yields per participant rise faster than p± yield.
