  11. EoS from Lattice QCD • 1) Large increase in  ! • Large increase in Ndof: Hadrons vs. partons 2) TC~ 160 MeV 3) Boxes indicate max. initial temperatures • Longest expansion duration at LHC • Expect large partonic collectivity at LHC SPS RHIC LHC ?

Braun-Munzinger et al., nucl-th/0304013 Hadron resonance ideal gas Density of particle i Qi : 1 for u and d, -1 for u and d si : 1 for s, -1 for s gi:spin-isospin freedom mi : particle mass Tch : Chemical freeze-out temperature mq : light-quark chemical potential ms : strange-quark chemical potential V : volume term, drops out for ratios! gs : strangeness under-saturation factor mB = 3mq mS = mq-ms All resonances and unstable particles are decayed Compare particle ratios to experimental data

  16. Hadron Yield - Ratios 1) At RHIC: Tch = 160 ± 10 MeV B = 25 ± 5 MeV 2) S= 1.  The hadronic system is thermalized at RHIC. 3)Short-lived resonances show deviations.  There is life after chemical freeze-out.

  19. Baryon Ratios • With increasing energy: • Baryon ratios approach unity • At LHC, pbar / p  0.95 with increasing collision energy, production of matter and anti-matter gets closer Compilation: N. Xu

  20. ‘Elementary’ p+p Collisions • Low multiplicities  use canonical ensemble:Strangeness locally conserved! • particle yields are well reproduced • Strangeness not equilibrated ! (gs = 0.5) Statistical Model Fit: F. Becattini and U. Heinz, Z. Phys. C 76, 269 (1997).

  22. Collective Flow

  23. Pressure, Flow, … • Thermodynamic identity • – entropy p – pressure U – energy V – volume t = kBT, thermal energy per dof • In A+A collisions, interactions among constituentsand density distribution lead to: pressure gradient  collective flow • number of degrees of freedom (dof) • Equation of State (EOS) • cumulative – partonic + hadronic

  31. v2 in the Low-pT Region P. Huovinen, private communications, 2004 • v2 approx. linear in pT, mass ordering from light  to heavier  • characteristic of hydrodynamic flow ! • sensitive to equation of state

  32. Non-ideal Hydro-dynamics • finite shear viscosity reduces elliptic flow • many caveats, e.g.: - initial eccentricity  (Glauber, CGC, …) - equation of state - hadronic contribution to /s String theory predicts: /s > 1/4 M.Luzum and R. Romatschke, PRC 78 034915 (2008); P. Romatschke, arXiv:0902.3663.

  33. Elliptic Flow vs Collision Energy Glauber initial conditions • Centrality dependence:- initial eccentricity - overlap area S • Collision energy dep.:- multiplicity density dNch/dy • in central collisions at RHIC, hydro-limit seems reached !

  35. Collectivity, Deconfinement at RHIC - v2, spectra of light hadrons and multi-strange hadrons - scaling with the number of constituent quarks At RHIC, it seems we have:  Partonic Collectivity • Deconfinement  Thermalization ? • PHENIX: PRL91, 182301(03) • STAR: PRL92, 052302(04) • S. Voloshin, NPA715, 379(03) • Models: Greco et al, PRC68, 034904(03) • X. Dong, et al., Phys. Lett. B597, 328(04). • ….

  36. Collectivity - Energy Dependence • Collectivity parameters <bT> and <v2> increase with collision energy • strong collective expansion at RHIC !<bT>RHIC 0.6 • expect strong partonic expansion at LHC, <bT>LHC 0.8, Tfo Tch K.S., ISMD07, arXiv:0801.1436[nucl-ex].

  37. Partonic Collectivity at RHIC • 1) Copiously produced hadrons freeze-out p,K,p: • Tfo = 100 MeV, T = 0.6 (c) > T(SPS) • 2)Multi-strange hadrons freeze-out: • Tfo = 160-170 MeV (~ Tch), T = 0.4 (c) • 3)Multi-strange v2: • f and multi-strange hadrons  and  do flow! • 4) Model - dependent /s: (0?),1 - 10 x 1/4 • Deconfinement & • Partonic (u,d,s) Collectivity!

  43. How to measure Heavy-Quark Production • e.g., D0, c = 123 m • displaced decay vertex is signature of heavy-quark decay • need precise pointing to collision vertex

  44. Heavy  Flavor production at RHIC • large discrepancy between STAR and PHENIX: factor > 2 (!) • need Si-vertex upgrades(> 2011) • large theoretical uncertainties (factor > 10) • Measure charm production at RHIC, LHC, FAIR and provide input to theory: - gluon distribution, - scales R, F Plot: J.
