  1. Physics of Identified Hadron Spectrum • From identified single particle spectra, • Hydro-dynamical collective expansion velocity (b). • Thermal freeze-out temperature (Tth). • Chemical freeze-out temperature and • chemical potential (Tch, mB, ms) • Jet quenching effect at high pT by parton • energy loss in medium (dE/dx). Inverse slope dN/dy High pT spectra Shed light on QGP formation at RHIC In this talk, we present identified (charged) single particle spectra as a function of centrality, measured at RHIC-PHENIX.

  2. PHENIX Detector Setup In this analysis, we use • Beam-Beam Counter (BBC) • z-vertex, start timing for TOF • Time-of-Flight (TOF) • stop timing measurement • Drift Chamber (Dch) • momentum, flight path length • Pad Chamber 1 (PC1) • additional track z-information to Dch

  3. TOF - TOFexpected * Fitted p+ region Particle Identification by TOF • Demonstrated Clear PID by TOF • Time-of-Flight resolution • sTOF ~ 110-120 ps

  4. p+ P K+ Charge * Momentum [GeV/c] p p- K- m2 [(GeV/c2)2] PID Cut Criteria p+ (a.u.) All momentum w/o PID cut K+ Proton m2 [(GeV/c2)2] • PID by m2 vs. momentum space • |m2measured - m20| < 2.5sm2 • Momentum cutoff • p : 0.1 < p < 2.0 GeV/c • K : 0.2 < p < 2.0 GeV/c • p/pbar : 0.2 < p < 4.0 GeV/c

  5. Correction factor for raw spectra • Based on single particle Monte Carlo simulation. • Included overall effects • Tracking efficiency • Geometrical acceptance • Multiple scattering • Decay in flight • Hadronic int. • Dead area of detectors • Confirmed that the multiplicity dep. is small by track embedding method in real data. positive p negative Pt [GeV/c] K Pt [GeV/c] p 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 Pt [GeV/c]

  6. Centrality Classes • Used correlation between BBC charge • and ZDC energy to define centrality. • Extracted Npart based on Glauber model Dch raw multiplicity distributions

  7. (a.u.) PHENIX Preliminary Results : Minimum bias pT spectra • pions yield ~ proton and pbar yield • @ pT~ 2 GeV/c Large proton and anti-proton contributions at high pT.

PHENIX Preliminary p (X 10-1) (X 10-1) Minimum bias MT spectra • In 0.2 < mt – m0 < 1.2 [GeV/c2], spectra for • all species scale by single exp. function. • Similar inverse slope for p and K. • Tproton > Tp Fitting results by single exp. function p ~ 2055 (stat.) 15 (sys.)

  12. PHENIX Preliminary Centrality dependence of T • Weak centrality dependence for Tp and TK. • Gradual rise of Tproton and Tpbar from • peripheral to mid-central collisions. • TpTK < Tproton

  13. PHENIX Preliminary Mass Dependence of T Intuitive explanation of mass dependence of T bt : Transverse expansion velocity

  14. Comparison with CERN Energy PHENIX Preliminary • The slopes of pions and protons at RHIC are • higher than that of Pb+Pb collisions at SPS. • Kaon’s slope is almost same at SPS Pb+Pb. SPS data : NA44 (most central)
