Attraction between qqbar pairsis reduced in the medium.

Color force is shorter range and binding is weaker.When force range/screening radius (T-1) become lessthan binding radius, qqbar is never bound.

J/ Production has been measured in p+p, d+Au, A+A collisions at RHIC.

J/ Production in d+Au is consistent with shadowing pictures.Not constrained well due to the large errors.Wait for 2008 d+Au analysis

J/ Measurement in Au+Au collisions gives many interesting observations.Similar suppression between at RHIC (y=0) and at SPSStronger suppression at forward than at mid-rapidity.

Dissociation+RecombinationSequential Melting+gluon saturation

Large uncertainty on cold nuclear matter effects prevents a firm conclusion. More d+Au data. This is highest priority!

Other observables (pT dist., v2) with high statistics will be helpful.

Langevin Model– Langevin equations (assumes v ~ 1 to neglect r

adiative effects):

– Relate drag coef. to diffusion coef.:– IIB Calculation:

• Use of Langevin requires relaxation time be large compared to the inverse temperature:

There are large error bars, but we can see clear suppression in pT>3.0 GeV/c

Charm cross section from STAR• Use all possible signals

– D mesons – Electrons– Muons

• Charm cross section is well constrained– 95% of the total cross s

ection– Direct measurement– D-mesons and muons c

Charm production at RHIC: total cross section

• FONLL as baseline– Large uncertainties due to

quark masses, factorization and renormalization scale

• Phenix about a factor of 2 higher but consistent within errors– Only electrons but less ba

ckground

• STAR data about a factor of 5 higher– More material but it is the

only direct measurement of D-mesons

• 95% of the total cross section is measured

Electron RAA from d+Au to central Au+Au• Use of non-photonic

electron spectra as proxy for energy loss study

• RAA show increasing suppression from peripheral to central Au+Au– First evidence of heavy

quark EL– Differences between

STAR and PHENIX disappear in RAA

• Is it smaller than for light-quark hadrons?
