Summary
• STAR has a vigorous program which is pushing our measured probes more and more sensitive to the early stage of the formed medium
• Nuclear effects at intermediate pt show particle type dependence, supporting recombination/coalescence as dominant processes for hadronization
• Strong suppression of high pt hadron production is observed for both light and heavy quarks, which demonstrates the formation of strongly-interacting dense medium at RHIC.

Obtaining the Charm Cross-Section cc
•D0 Mesons– Requires fit to data points for extrapolation
• functional form?• error on extrapolation
– Requires the knowledge of ND0/Ncc
•Non-Photonic Single Electrons– What functional form ?
• PYTHIA does not describe data – tweaking it is not satisfactory
• NLO/FONLL not reliable for pT < F = R = mc pTD
•STAR Combine both measurements– Fraction of covered ?
ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 32
Obtaining the Charm Cross-Section cc• Combined fit:
– Assume D0 spectrum follows a power law function– Generate electron spectrum using particle composition from PDG
• ND0/Ncc ~ 0.540.05• Decay via routines from PYTHIA
– Assume that only normalization scale different between the various D meson pT spectra is different (D0, D*, D, …)
• From D0 mesons alone:– ND0/Ncc ~ 0.540.05– Fit function from exponential fit to mT spectra
• In both cases for d+Au p+p: pp

Consequences of High Cross-Section: J/ Recombination Statistical model (e.g. A. Andronic et. al. PLB 571,36(2003)) :
Largecc yield in one heavy ion collision J/ production through recombination possible J/ enhancement
Statistical model
In stat models: cc typically from pQCD calculations Consequence of STAR cc (from d+Au) much larger enhancement (~3-
10) for J/ production in central Au+Au collisions PHENIX’s upper limit would invalidate the expectation from large cc ?!

NLO/FONLL•Recent calculations in NLO (e.g. R. Vogt et al. hep-ph/0502203)
– Since m≠0 heavy quark production is a hard process– Calculations depend on:
• quark mass mc
• factorization scale F (typically F = m or 2m)
• renormalization scale R (typically R = F)
• parton density functions (PDF)
– Total cross-section depends only on mc, not kinematic quantities
– Hard to obtain large with R = F (which is used in PDF fits)
– For pT spectra m(for calculations m
• pT integrateddirect calculated
•Fixed-Order plus Next-to-Leading-Log (FONLL)– designed to cure large logs for pT >> mc where mass is not relevant
– FONLL higher over most pT than NLO (also tot)
•K factor (NLO NNLO) ?

Comparison: Non-Photonic Electrons with NLO
•FONLL calculations:•Charm:•scaled by STAR/FONLL
•Bottom:•derived from fit of sum to data
•Errors used: data + FONLL uncertainty bands
Plenty of room for bottom !!!
ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 41
Can We Disentangle Charm from Bottom ?
•Method I: Finding the Secondary Vertex – Requires excellent resolution of vertex tracker (< 50 m)– Survival probability P(x) depends on M/c
• D ~ 15 MeV/m• B ~ 11 MeV/m (B lives long but is heavy)
– Works only at high p but bb is dominated by pTe < 4 GeV/c
•Method II: Identifying the Ks from the semileptonic decay– If a K is present within certain kinematical region around the e the ratio of opposite/same sign pairs
(K+e- + K-e+)/(K-e- + K+e+) is– charm (ce K anything): ~ 55:1 (PYTHIA) – bottom (be K anything): ~ 1:6 (PYTHIA) – works only in pp and requires large acceptance + high pT PID
•Method III: Subtracting e evaluated from measured D spectra– Requires knowledge of D spectra out to very high pT
• Need D spectra out to 11 GeV/c to describe electrons at pT ~ 5 GeV/c
ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 42
High-pT D0-Meson Spectra in d+Au•How is it done ?
– Assumptions:• pT spectra of D0, D*, D
• same shape
– D0 K defines low pT points
– D0 K defines one high-pT point
– Combined allow power law fit– functional form allows to move
D* and D spectra into place– cross-check with known ratios
OK– Problem: D*/D0 and D/ D0 not
well known (pT, s dependent ?)Note: spectrum depends onone point: D0 K
ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 43
High-pT D-Meson Spectra in d+Au•Headache: Spectra very hard (too hard)
– Fragmentation function function (Peterson FF needs c = b) ?
– Yield at 10 GeV/c only factor 3 below CDF (LO/NLO ~ 10) ?
Intensive systematic studies of D0 K of many people over many month …
ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 44
High-pT D-Meson Spectra in d+Au•Until we found the problem …
– very, very, subtle effect – Downside: combined low to high-pT D0 spectra is gone
• ratios not well enough known• cannot normalize D*, D to D0 appropriately any more
Upper limits from D0 K (90% CL)Note: D* itself is still valid!!! Now a “standalone” spectra. Doesn’t affect possibility of studying RAA in Au+Au

Strong Elliptic Flow at RHIC
•Strong elliptic flow at RHIC (consistent with hydro limit ?)– scaling with Number of Constituent Quarks (NCQ)
• partonic degrees of freedom !?
– v2/n(pT/n) shows no mass and flavor dependence– Strong argument for partonic phase with thermalized quarks
•What’s about charm?– Naïve kinematical argument: need Mq/T ~ 7 times more collisions to thermalize – v2 of charm closely related to RAA
ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 47
Charm Elliptic Flow from the Langevin Model
– Diffusion coefficient in QGP: D = T/M momentum drag coefficient)
– Langevin model for evolution of heavy quark spectrum in hot matter
– Relates collisional energy loss and elliptic flow v2
– pQCD gives D(2T) 6(0.5/s)2

“Nearly” thermal: T ~ 290 MeV
Including scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and axial vector D mesons gives:
σcq→cq(s1/2=mD)≈6 mb
Cross-section is isotropic the transport cross section is 6 mb, about 4 times larger than from pQCD t-channel diagrams
ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 49
How to Measure Charm v2
•Best: D mesons need large statistics, high background not now•Alternative: Measure v2 of electrons from semileptonic charm decays
– Emission angles are well preserved above p = 2 GeV/c– 2-3 GeV Electrons correspond to ≈3-5 GeV D-Mesons
ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 ISMD 2005, Kromeriz Czech Republic Aug.9-15 50
Measuring v2 of Non-Photonic Electrons
•Analysis– Same procedures as for single electrons (incl. background subtraction)– … but with much harder cuts (plenty of statistics)– special emphasis on anti-deuteron removal– reaction plane resolution ~ 30%Consistency check: PYTHIA + MEVSIM (flow generator) through analysis chain

Summary
• Measured productions for 4 identified particles(K0s, , ,
) in d+Au collisions at RHIC;
• /K0s ratio increases with multiplicity.
– dAu ratio is close to AuAu most peripheral (60-80%)– Recombination models are in qualitative agreement with the data.
• pA Nuclear modification factor, RAB, shows Cronin effect– Baryon–Meson(B-M) dependence?.
• Au+Au Nuclear modification factor, RCP, shows B-M difference and suppression.
– Consistent with parton recombination + jet quenching.
• d+Au Nuclear modification factor, also shows B-M difference and Cronin effect.
– PHENIX : (K/ vs. p/), STAR : (K0s/vs. )
– Cronin: Final state particle formation dynamics (recombination)
