Soft QCD matter and hard probes
Hard-scatterings produce ‘quasi-free’ partons Initial-state production known from pQCD Probe medium through energy loss
Heavy-ion collisions produceQCD matter
Dominated by soft partons p ~ T ~ 100-300 MeV
‘Hard Probes’: sensitive to medium density, transport properties

Part I: Hard processes in fundamental collisions
6
Accelerators and colliders
• p+p colliders (fixed target+ISR, SPPS, TevaTron, LHC)– Low-density QCD
– Broad set of production mechanisms
• Electron-positron colliders (SLC, LEP)– Electroweak physics
– Clean, exclusive processes
– Measure fragmentation functions
• ep, p accelerators (SLC, SPS, HERA)– Deeply Inelastic Scattering, proton structure
– Parton density functions
• Heavy ion accelerators/colliders (AGS, SPS, RHIC, LHC)– Bulk QCD and Quark Gluon Plasma
Many decisive QCD measurements done
7
Seeing quarks and gluons
In high-energy collisions, observe traces of quarks, gluons (‘jets’)

Hard processes in QCD
• Hard process: scale Q >> QCD
• Hard scattering High-pT parton(photon) Q ~ pT
• Heavy flavour production m >> QCD
Cross section calculation can be split into • Hard part: perturbative matrix element• Soft part: parton density (PDF), fragmentation (FF)
Soft parts, PDF, FF are universal: independent of hard process

Towards a more complete picture
• Energy loss not single-valued, but a distribution
• Geometry: density profile; path length distribution
• Energy loss is partonic, not hadronic– Full modeling: medium modified shower– Simple ansatz for leading hadrons: energy loss
followed by fragmentation– Quark/gluon differences

Four formalisms
• Hard Thermal Loops (AMY)– Dynamical (HTL) medium– Single gluon spectrum: BDMPS-Z like path integral– No vacuum radiation
• Multiple soft scattering (BDMPS-Z, ASW-MS)– Static scattering centers– Gaussian approximation for momentum kicks– Full LPM interference and vacuum radiation
• Opacity expansion ((D)GLV, ASW-SH)– Static scattering centers, Yukawa potential – Expansion in opacity L/
(N=1, interference between two centers default)– Interference with vacuum radiation
• Higher Twist (Guo, Wang, Majumder)– Medium characterised by higher twist matrix elements– Radiation kernel similar to GLV– Vacuum radiation in DGLAP evolution

Energy loss formalisms
Plenty of room for interesting and relevant theory work!
• Large differences between formalisms understood– Large angle cut-off
– Length dependence (interference effects)
• Mostly ‘technical’ issues; can be overcome– Use path-integral formalism
– Monte Carlo: exact E, p conservation• Full 2→3 NLO matrix elements• Include interference
• Next step: interference in multiple gluon emission

– Unavoidable for many observables
Notes:• This is the simplest ansatz – most calculation to date use it (except
some MCs)• Jet, -jet measurements ‘fix’ E, removing one of the convolutions –

Summary
• QCD calculations: factorisation of perturbative and universal non-perturbative components (PDFs, FFs)– Except e+e-: no PDF needed
• Heavy ion collisions: jet quenching– First observable: RAA
– Qualitatively: large effect, several GeV lost or E/E ~ 0.2
– Detailed modeling: • Some ‘intrinsic’ uncertainties• In progress – more in next lectures
45
Effects in RAA
• Parton pT spectra– Less steep at LHC less suppression
– Steepness decreases with pT: RAA rises
• Quark vs gluon jets– More gluon jets at LHC more suppression
– More quark jets at high pT: RAA rises
• Medium density (profile)– Larger density at LHC more suppression
(profile similar?)
– Path length dependence of energy loss
• Parton energy dependence– Expect slow (log) increase of E with E RAA rises with pT
– Running of S (A Buzzatti@QM2012) ?
• Energy loss distribution– Expect broad distribution P(E); kinematic bounds important

52
So what are we trying to do...
• First: understand (parton) energy process– Magnitude, dominant mechanism(s)– Probability distribution
• Lost energy• Radiated gluons/fragments
– Path length dependence– Flavour/mass dependence– Large angle radiation?
• Future: use this to learn about the medium
53
Jet Quenching
1) How is does the medium modify parton fragmentation?• Energy-loss: reduced energy of leading hadron – enhancement of yield
at low pT?
• Broadening of shower?• Path-length dependence• Quark-gluon differences• Final stage of fragmentation
outside medium?
2) What does this tell us about the medium ?• Density• Nature of scattering centers? (elastic vs radiative; mass of scatt. centers)• Time-evolution?
