  8. R.H.I.C. defined... • collision of nuclei sufficiently large that nuclear details unimportant • distinct from nuclear or particle physics • “Geranium on Linoleum” • sufficiently large for meaningful bulk & thermodynamic quantities • non-trivial spatial scales & geometry drive bulk dynamics (e.g. flow) • how big is “sufficient” ? • important reference issue ma lisa - Femtoscopy in small systems & EMCICs - Kent State University - January 2007

How do semi-central collisions evolve? 1) Superposition of independent p+p: high density / pressure at center momenta pointed at random relative to reaction plane 2) Evolution as a bulksystem Pressure gradients (larger in-plane) push bulk “out”  “flow” “zero” pressure in surrounding vacuum more, faster particles seen in-plane ma lisa - Femtoscopy in small systems & EMCICs - Kent State University - January 2007

  23. Nature of EoS under investigation ; agreement with data may be accidental ; viscous hydro under development ; assumption of thermalization in question sensitive to modeling of initial state, presently under study Beyond press releases The detailed work now underway is what can probe & constrain sQGP properties It is probably not press-release material... ...but, hey, you’ve already got your coffee mug ma lisa - Femtoscopy in small systems & EMCICs - Kent State University - January 2007

  30. Why do the radii fallwith increasing momentum ?? ma lisa - Femtoscopy in small systems & EMCICs - Kent State University - January 2007

  31. Why do the radii fallwith increasing momentum ?? It’s collective flow !! Directgeometrical/dynamicalevidence for bulk behaviour!!! Amount of flow consistent with p-space nucl-th/0312024 Huge, diverse systematics consistent with this substructure nucl-ex/0505014 ma lisa - Femtoscopy in small systems & EMCICs - Kent State University - January 2007

  32. p+p: A clear reference system? ma lisa - Femtoscopy in small systems & EMCICs - Kent State University - January 2007

  33. STAR preliminary mT (GeV) mT (GeV) femtoscopy in p+p @ STAR Z. Chajecki QM05 nucl-ex/0510014 • Decades of femtoscopy in p+p and in A+A, but... • for the first time: femtoscopy in p+p and A+A in same experiment, same analysis definitions... • unique opportunity to compare physics • ~ 1 fm makes sense, but... • pT-dependence in p+p? • (same cause as in A+A?) ma lisa - Femtoscopy in small systems & EMCICs - Kent State University - January 2007

  34. Ratio of (AuAu, CuCu, dAu) HBT radii by pp pp, dAu, CuCu - STAR preliminary Surprising („puzzling”) scaling A. Bialasz (ISMD05): I personally feel that its solution may provide new insight into the hadronization process of QCD HBT radii scale with pp Scary coincidence or something deeper? On the face: same geometric substructure ma lisa - Femtoscopy in small systems & EMCICs - Kent State University - January 2007

  35. STAR preliminary d+Au peripheral collisions Gaussian fit BUT... Clear interpretation clouded by data features Non-femtoscopic q-anisotropic behaviour at large |q| does this structure affect femtoscopic region as well? ma lisa - Femtoscopy in small systems & EMCICs - Kent State University - January 2007

  37. Just push on....? • ... no! • Irresponsible to ad-hoc fit (often the practice) or ignore (!!) & interpret without understanding data • no particular reason to expect non-femtoscopic effect to be limited to non-femtoscopic (large-q) region • not-understood or -controlled contaminating correlated effectsat low q ? • A possibility: energy-momentum conservation? • must be there somewhere! • but how to calculate / model ?(Upon consideration, non-trivial...) ma lisa - Femtoscopy in small systems & EMCICs - Kent State University - January 2007
