  3. End of the ideal world: “Non-flow”, flow fluctuations, … Not perfect azimuthal acceptance not flat Event Plane distribution. “Flattening of the reaction plane”. Approximate and exact solutions to the problem. Flow   “non-flow” “Non-flow” – azimuthal correlations of any other originexcept the correlation with respect to the reaction plane. It combines the possible contributions from resonance decay, inter and intra jet correlations, etc. An example: Effect of flow fluctuations Other possibilities fro flow fluctuations: fluctuation in theinitial geometry, in multiplicity at the same geometry, etc. Each one by itself presents little problem, but taken at the same time, it is the major problem we fight during the last years. page

  4. Non-flow estimates page

  5. Non-Flow estimates from the reaction plane resolution plot STAR. PRL 86 (2001) 402 Non-flow level page

  6. Non-flow. Depends on centrality? M < u u*> Multiplicity Correlations induced by transverse radialexpansion S.V. nucl-th/0312065 First and second harmonics of the distribution on the left n=1, T=110 MeV STAR nucl-ex/0409033 ! - the large values of transverseflow, > 0.25, would contradict “non-flow” estimates in elliptic flow measurements page

  7. Azimuthal correlation in pp collisions • Goals (from “flow” point of view): • Check if non-flow estimates/measurements reported for Au+Au are consistentwith measurements in pp. (One could expect the difference of the order of factor of <~2. Examples: Extra particles in jets  non-flow contribution increases B-to-B jet suppression – non-flow goes down) • Use pp data to estimate non-flow effects in Au+Au in the regions where othermethods do not work well (e.g. high ptregion; Kaon and Lambda flow, etc. ) page

  8. Scalar product method and pp vs. AA Non-flow looks exactly the same in pp and AA Results - directly “correctible”. Consider correlations of particles from some “bin”with all particles from a “pool” Notations: Flow in a particular pt/eta “bin” Average flow in the pt/eta region used to define RP (or “pool” of particles) Azimuthal correlations in pp ( ) Non-flow part in 2-part azimuthal correlation in AA Number of “independent NN collisions”, a la Npart/2. page

  9. pp vs. AA Most peripheral M<~10 0 pt 7 GeV STAR Preliminary 5% central M>~500 The plot above, showing the rise and fall of azimuthal correlations ( M<uu*>)can be explained only by flow: no any other known source of the azimuthal correlation is able to give such a dependence. The origin of such a dependence:~ M*  page

  10. Final results: pp & AuAu AuAu (flow + non-flow) pp(non-flow) STAR: PRL 93(2004)252301 At high pt in central collisions, azimuthal correlation in AuAu could be dominated by nonflow. It does not mean that v2 is zero! In VERY peripheral collisions, azimuthal correlation in AuAu are dominated by non-flow. Analysis has to be continued: charge combination dependence, identified particles… page

  11. Many-particle correlations page

  12. Non-flow and multiparticle correlations pt weight “ON” 12/15/2000 flow*nflow + nflow*flow (1,3)(2,4)+(1,4)(2,3) Assuming page

  13. Non-flow and multiparticle correlations flow*nflow + nflow*flow (1,3)(2,4)+(1,4)(2,3) STAR Application: Generating functions (Borghini, Ding, Ollitrault) + many other ways page

  14. Non-flow or Fluctuations? Correct if v is constantin the event sample Should be used even in a case of =0 Non-flow Flow fluctuations In this approximation,v is between v{4} and (v{2}+v{4})/2. • Several reasons for vto fluctuate in a centrality bin: • Variation in impact parameter (taken out in STAR 130 GeV PRC flow paper) • Real flow fluctuations (due to fluctuations in initial conditions or in system • evolution) page

  15. Getting v2(b) • Procedure: • Assume some form for v2(b) • Use any event generator to relatemultiplicity and impact parameter • calculate powers of v • compare to what is measured by v2{4} Note: the curves in the plot are NOT fit to the points how/where the points are shown page

  16. Fluctuation in eccentricity  v2{2} vs v2{4} x,y – coordinates of “wounded” nucleons Calculations: R. Snellings and M. Miller v2 ~  fluctuations in flow page

  17. v2{4}/v2{2} : Compare to data R. Snellings The flow fluctuations calculatedwith participating nucleons is too strong compared to the data ! page

  18. Mixed harmonics: how it works Similar for v4 via Y Poskanzer, S.V. PRC 58 (1998)1671 What to do when the reaction plane is known: X The difference between x component and y component correlations: … and when it is not exactly known: 3-particle correlation: Borghini, Dinh, Ollitrault PRC 66(2002)014905 Main non-flow contribution left is due toresonance/jets that flow themselves page

  19. q-distribution • Two more: • q-distributions: • Q vector products Used in the very first E877 analysis Distribution in the magnitude of the flow vector Non-flow contribution Correlations due to flow page

  20. v2 from q-distributions STAR, PRC 66 (2002) 034904 -- The results are very close to those from 4-particle correlation analysis. -- Difficult to trace the contribution of flow fluctuations. page

  21. A few comments on some of the results page

  22. Anisotropic flow from AGS to RHIC QM’95 ( organized by Art! ): Y. Zhang (E877) – technique, first measurements at AGS (free of non-flow!) D. Miśkowiec (E877) – first attempt for HBT with respect to the reaction plane J.-Y. Ollitrault – drew attention to non-flow effects and how to deal with them M. Gyulassy (concluding remarks) : “The discovery of collective sidewards flow in Au+Au at the AGS is a major highlight of this year. … It is of fundamental importancebecause it provides a direct probe of the equation of state at extremely high densities….” STAR. PRL 86 (2001) 402 The highest citation indexof any (?) experimental paperon heavy ion collisions E. Shuryak:“… probably the most direct signature of QGP plasma formation, observed at RHIC.” (nucl-th/0112042) U. Heinz: “… resulting in a well developed quark-gluon plasma with almost ideal fluid-dynamical collective behavior and a lifetime of several fm/c” (hep-ph/0109006). page

  23. Elliptic flow as function of … • It is measured vs: • collision energy • transverse momentum • centrality • particle ID • Integrated values of v2 noticeably increase with energy • The slope of v2(pt) increase slowly • Most of the increase in integrated v2 comes from the increase in mean pt. PHOBOS page

  25. Where we are – checking with “oldstuff”    ?     S.V. RHIC Winter Workshop, Berkeley, January 1999 http://www-rnc.lbl.gov/~nxu/oldstuff/workshop/rww99.html Unexpected – constituent quark scaling page

  26. Quark Scaling page

  27. Constituent quark model + coalescence Only in the intermediate region (rare processes) coalescence can be described by:  coalescence fragmentation S.V., QM2002 D. Molnar, S.V., PRL 2003 Low pt quarks High pt quarks In the low pt region density is large and most quarks coalesce: N hadron ~ N quark In the high pt region fragmentation eventually wins: Taking into account that in coalescence and in fragmentation , there could be a region in quark pt where only few quarks coalesce, but give hadronsin the hadron pt region where most hadrons are produced via coalescence. • Side-notes: • a) more particles produced via coalescence vs parton fragmentation  larger mean pt… •  higher baryon/meson ratio •  lower multiplicity per “participant” • -> D. Molnar, QM2004, in progress • > Bass, Fries, Mueller. Nonaka; Levai, Ko; … • > Eremin, S.V. page

  28. Constituent quark scaling STAR PRL 92(2004)052302 • Constituent quark scaling holds very well. Deviations are where expected. • Elliptic flow saturates at pt~ 1 GeV, just at constituent quark scale. An accident? Gas of free(?) constituent quarks – deconfinement ! page

  29. AuAu@62 GeV AuAu@62 GeV STAR Preliminary page

  30. Are they thermalized? S. Pratt, S. Pal , nucl-th/0409038 • Two pictures correspond to the same v2 of quarks, but • v2(B) = 3/2 v2(M) (no thermalization ?) • v2(B) = v2(M) (freeze-out at constant phase space density) • My conclusion: constituent quark scaling - Deconfinement! • No thermalization (at least in this region of pt) • (Freeze-out at constant density in the configuration space) • The same mechanism at sqrt(s_NN) 200 and 62 GeV. • If thermalized, disappear at LHC?? page

  31. Comparison with Hydro page

  32. v2(pt): Comparison with hydro • Hydrodynamic model • describes the data rather well • But should it? (non-flow, min-bias, etc.) STAR, PRL 87, 182301 (2001) page

  33. Recent preprint P. Houvinen, nucl-th/0505036 page

  34. v2(pt) @ 200 and 62 GeV pion Y. Bai (STAR), DNP ‘04 min. bias 0 ~ 80% star preliminary 0 ~ 80 % star preliminary Pt STAR expects good identified particle v2 measurements up to relatively high pt. Need detailed/tuned hydro calculations for different centralities and identified particles. page

  37. Integrated v2 at different energies (0-40% central) (0-40% central) We still have to analyze carefully the centrality dependence page

  38. Hydro limits • uncertainty in the centrality definition • sqrt(s)=130 GeV data: 0.075 < pt < 2.0 GeV/c • sqrt(s)=200 GeV data: 0.15 < pt < 2.0; the data scaled down by factor of 1.06 to account for change in (raw) mean pt. • AGS and SPS – no low pt cut • STAR and SPS 160 – 4th order cumulants Hydro: P.F. Kolb, et al • Questions to address: • is it saturating? • add rapidity dependence? - what happens at SPS energies? Any ‘wiggle’? page

  39. “Cold” deconfinement, color percolation? Percolation point by H. Satz, QM2002 There is a need for the “next generation”of this plot: better estimates of epsilon,adding more data (in particular 62 GeV) It is a real pity that NA49 measurements have so large systematic uncertainty. Need detector with better azimuthal acceptance (could be just a simple extra detector used to determine the RP) . FT RHIC? CERN SPS energies b ~ 4 fm RHIC: b ~ 7 fm page

  40. Charged particle v2 at high-pt phenix preliminary nucl-ex/0305013 STAR: PRL 93(2004)252301 v2(pt) has maximum at about 3 GeV/cAbove 6 GeV we do not have a reliable answer (yet) what the real flow contribution is page

  41. Charm flow (via electron measurements) STAR SQM04 But is it surprising?: v2stays the same? page

Esumi, S.V., PRC, 2003 x – azimuthal angle, transverse momentum, rapidity, etc. Approach: - “remove” flow contribution- parameterize the shape of what is left - study RP orientation dependence of the parameters CERES, PRL 92(2004)032901 Selection of one (or both) of particles in- or out- of the reaction plane “distorts” the RP determination “a” == “trigger particle” STAR, PRL 93 (2004) 252301 page
