  1. Resonance Production in RHIC Collisions Christina Markert Kent State University for the STAR Collaboration • Motivation • Resonance in hadronic phase • Time • RAA andRdAu • Elliptic flow v2 • Summary Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  2. Tchemical Tchemical Lifetime of Nuclear Medium Dt > 4 fm/c resonances Au+Au t ~ 10 fm/c (HBT) Partonic phase  < 6 fm/c C. Markert, G. Torrieri, J. Rafelski, hep-ph/0206260 + STAR  delta lifetime > 4fm/c Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  3. p L* K p p L* K Time in Heavy Ion Reactions p+p • p+p interactions: • No extended initial medium • Chemical freeze-out (no thermalization) • Kinetic freeze-out close to the chemical freeze-out Particle yields Particle spectra Au+Au • Au+Au interactions: • Extended hot and dense phase • Thermalization at chem. freeze-out • Kinetic freeze-out separated from • chemical freeze-out Hot and dense medium time Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  5. Interactions of Resonance in Hadronic Nuclear Medium Life-time [fm/c] : K(892) ~ 4.0 S(1385) ~ 5.7 L(1520) ~ 13  (1020) ~ 44 Dt Preliminary UrQMD Dt =10±3 fm/c [1] P.

K* and L* show rescattering S* shows regeneration Regeneration/Rescattering cross section: s(K+p) <s (K+p) < s (L+p) ? L* K* S* Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  7. RAA of Resonances (with rescattering) • K(892) more suppressed in AA than Ks0 • K(892) are lower than Ks0 (and f) • pt < 2.0 GeV factor of 2 Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  8. Nuclear Modification Factor RdAu • K* is lower than Kaons in low pt d+Au no medium  no rescattering why K* suppression in d+Au ? • S* follows h+- and lower than protons . Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  9. Preliminary Medium in d+Au ? L*: No rescattering in hadronic d+Au medium K* : Rescattering in hadronic d+Au medium ??? Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  10. Low mean pT ≠ early freeze-out ? Fit to X and W Higher T kin and lower <bT> Resonance are regenerating close to kinetic freeze-out  we measure late produced S(1385) How is elliptic flow v2 effected ? v2= signal for early partonic interactions Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  11. p p p p D* kinetic freeze-out p re-scattering chemical freeze-out p D* p K p regeneration time Effects on v2 of and from Resonances • v2 of pions: • Primary produced (30%) • Early resonance decay • Late resonance decay • v2 of resonances: • Early resonances • Regenerated resonances Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  12. Elliptic flow v2 pT (GeV) Resonances v2 and NCQ Scaling Test C. Nonaka, et al., Phys.Rev.C69: 031902,2004 • Fluid dynamics calculations (zero viscosity) describe data pT < 2 GeV Do Resonances show same mass splitting ? • Number of Constituent Quark (NCQ) scaling at intermediate pT (2= mesons, 3= baryons)  indication of partonic degrees of freedom Regenerated resonances–final state interactions NCQ = 5 (S* = L +p =3+2) Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  13. Elliptic flow Reaction plane f elliptic flow v2 in minbias Au+Au 200 GeV f pT = 1.0-1.5 GeV v2=12±2% dN/d(f-) f signal 2(f-) Inv mass (K+ K-) v2=16±0.04% dN/d(f-) Bg of f invmass 2( f-) Inv mass (K+ K-) Kaon p < 0.6 GeV Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  14. v2 of phi resonance in Au+Au 200GeV STAR Preliminary f has long lifetime 45fm/c  less rescattering or regeneration Elliptic flow of Φ-meson is close to Ks Delta resonance ? Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  15. Summary • Hadronic resonances help to separate hadronic from partonic lifetime • Ranking of rescattering over regeneration cross section in medium. • Low pt RAA behavior confirms rescattering hypothesis. (RdAu puzzle?) • v2 of long lived resonances seems to follow stable particle trends (confirmation of NCQ scaling) Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006

  17. Preliminary Au+Au p+p Signal Loss in Low pT Region K(892) flow pT Inverse slope increase from p+p to Au+Au collisions. UrQMD predicts signal loss at low pT due to rescattering of decay daughters.  Inverse slopes T and mean pT are higher. Flow would increase pT of higher masse particles stronger.

  18. Temperature and “Life-time” fromK* and L* Life time: K(892) = 4 fm/c L(1520) = 13 fm/c G. Torrieri and J. Rafelski, Phys. Lett. B509 (2001) 239 • Model includes: • Temperature at chemical freeze-out • “Life-time” between chemical and • thermal freeze-out • By comparing two particle ratios • (no regeneration) • Lambda1520 • T= 160 MeV  > 4 fm/c • K(892) • T = 160 MeV   > 1.5 fm/c (1520)/ = 0.039  0.015 at 10% most central Au+Au K*/K- = 0.23  0.05 at 0-10% most central Au+Au Christina Markert Hot Quarks, Sardinia, Mai 2006
