  1. Two particle correlations in the Glasma & the Ridge Raju Venugopalan Brookhaven National Laboratory AGS users meeting, May 27th, 2008

  2. For particles to have been emitted from the same Event Horizon, causality dictates that If Yis as large as (especially) suggested by PHOBOS, correlations were formed very early - in the Glasma…

  3. An example of super horizon fluctuations…

  4. Little Bang Big Bang Hot Era WMAP data (3x105 years) QGP Inflation CGC/ Glasma Plot by T. Hatsuda

  5. Glasma Ludlam, McLerran, Physics Today (2003) Glasma (\Glahs-maa\): Noun:non-equilibrium matter between Color Glass Condensate (CGC) & Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP)

  6. Z Z T T Lappi, McLerran, NPA772 (2006) After a HI collision, classical fields form a Glasma flux tube with longitudinal chromo E & B fields Typical size of flux tube in transverse direction is 1 / QS < 1/QCD Systematic framework for multi-particle production in the Glasma - Gelis, Lappi, RV, arXiv:0804.2630

  7. QCD vacuum and sphaleron transitions Kharzeev, Krasnitz, RV, Phys. Lett. B545 (2002) “Over the barrier” sphaleron transitions can change the topological charge in an event => the index theorem tells us that this induces a induce a net chirality. Vacua labeled by different Chern-Simons #  EB

  8. Two particle correlations in the Glasma Can it explain the near side ridge ?

  9. 2 particle correlations in the Glasma (I) Dumitru, Gelis ,McLerran, RV, arXiv:0804.3858[hep-ph]] = + Leading (classical) contribution Note:Interestingly, computing leading logs to all orders, both diagrams can be expressed as the first diagram with sources evolved a la JIMWLK Hamiltonian Gelis, Lappi, RV (2008)

  10. 2 particle correlations in the Glasma (II) Leading color “topologies”: “single diffractive” “interference” graph

  11. 2 particle correlations in the Glasma (III) Suppressed color “topologies”: “single diffractive” (emission from different quark lines in amp. and complex conjugate amp.) “double diffractive”

  12. 2 particle spectrum (II) Simple “Geometrical” result: •  4 (more accurate result requires numerical soln. of YM eqns. - in progress. with K_N  0.3

  13. R 2 particle spectrum (III) Particle emission from the Glasma tubes is isotropic in the azimuth Particles correlated by transverse flow (or at high pT by opacity effects) are highly localized transversely - experience same transverse boost Voloshin, Shuryak Gavin, Pruneau, Voloshin

  14. 2 particle spectrum… Centrality dependence of Vr from blast wave fits Centrality dependence of QS a la Kharzeev-Nardi

  15. Ridge from flowing Glasma tubes KN ~ 0.1 STAR preliminary (energy & centrality dep. of flow parametrizaton courtesy of P.Sorensen) • Gets many features right: i) Same flavor composition as bulk matter ii) Large multiplicity (1/3rd) in the Ridge relative to the bulk iii) Ridge independent of trigger pT-geometrical effect iv) Signal for like and unlike sign pairs the same at large 

  16. Ridge from flowing Glasma tubes Caveat: Angular dist. appears to require larger boosts, or absorption by medium a la Shuryak Blast wave picture may be too simplistic - need more accurate description of transverse flow profile

  17. SUMMARY • Long range rapidity correlations are formed early - in the Glasma • Multi-particle emission from radially flowing Glasma flux tubes provide a dynamical picture of the ridge. • The analysis can be improved by better treatment of I) transverse flow & II) rapidity evolution of rapidity interval between the pairs
