Schwerionen- und Hadronenphysik anund Claudia Höhne, GSI Darmstadt • Einleitung • GSI FOPI & HADES • FAIR HADES & CBM • Zusammenfassung & Ausblick KHuK Jahrestagung, 25./26.10.2007, GSI Darmstadt
The QCD phase diagram • aim of heavy ion physics • explore the QCD phase diagram! • study hadronic properties at high baryon densities • chiral symmetry restoration? CBM@FAIR A+A collisions at 10 – 45 GeV/nucleon HADES@FAIR A+A collisions at 2-10 GeV/nucleon [Andronic et al. Nucl. Phys. A 772, 167 (2006). FOPI & HADES @GSI A+A collisions at < 2 GeV/nucleon
The SIS18 heavy ion regime ≈ 10 fm/c 30 10 20 t [fm/c] • Probing nuclear matter at “moderate" baryon density and temperature • A long life time of the dense system (up tp 10 fm/c) • The all-dominant presence of baryonic resonances (“resonance matter”), Np/Apart ≈ 10% • The sub-threshold production of Kaons and Vector Mesons: Multi-step processes confined to the dense phase
Kaons in medium Modified properties of hadrons in dense baryonic matter? → mass, width, phase-space and angular distributions repulsive K+ N potential in-medium kaon energy ↔ equation of state in dense matter? attractive K- N potential (yellow area: envelope of several microscopic calculations: all predict the same trend !)
FOPI – strangeness @ SIS • Motivation • hadronic properties in dense medium (1-3 r0)? • strangeness! (production close to threshold) • → sensitive probe! • Kaons in medium • yields, phase space distributions, flow • Strange Resonances • Baryons! Excited hyperon S*(1385) • → total strangeness, thermalisation? • Exotica – kaonic bound states IPNE Bucharest, Romania ITEP Moscow, Russia CRIP/KFKI Budapest, Hungary Kurchatov Institute Moscow, Russia LPC Clermont-Ferrand, France Korea University, Seoul, Korea GSI Darmstadt, Germany IReS Strasbourg, France + IMP Lanzhou, China FZ Rossendorf, Germany Univ. of Heidelberg, Germany + SMI Vienna, Austria Univ. of Warsaw, Poland RBI Zagreb, Croatia + TUM, Munich, Germany
Kaon – flow measurements Ni+Ni @ 1.93 AGeV Y.J.Kim (FOPI) directed flow: elliptic flow: Sensitivity of collective flow to depth of kaon potential → U(K+) = + 20 MeV, For K- no consistent description yet by transport models: HSD ↔ IQMD
Strange resonances • for investigation of total strangeness production baryons (L!) are important! • → test thermalization/ chemical equlibrium with statistical model • short lived resonances (e.g. S*) are expected to be also sensitive to dense medium! S* + (88 2%) G = 39.4 MeV ct = 5 fm S* in-medium: Γ= 76 MeV at ρ= ρ0 Mean mass: attractive potential ≈ - 45 MeV at ρ0 S*(1385) subthreshold production, X. Lopez et al. (FOPI collaboration), submitted to PRL (2007) • due to short lifetime S* should probe finite density! • Broadening of the width not yet observed (needs more statistics)
FOPI TOF upgrade completed! FOPI – RPC detector: 4500 electronic channels, 6m2 active area

Summary of FOPI physics program (2008 – 2010) 2008 (S338): Heavy ion reactions Ru + Ru @ 1.7 AGeV, 4 weeks Strange resonance production Ni + Pb @ 2 AGeV, 2 weeks and flow K- - potential 2009 (S339): Pion induced reactions p- + LH2, C, Pb @ 1.7 GeV/c, 2 weeks Strangeness production K- - potential at r = r0 2010 (S349): Proton induced reactions p + p @ 3 GeV, 2 weeks Search for ppK- - bound state (accepted proposals by G-PAC)
In-medium properties of hadrons (electromagnetic-probes) r e+, μ+ e-, μ- • r-meson couples to the medium, direct radiation from the early phase • vector-meson dominance! • vacuum lifetime t0 = 1.3 fm/c → dileptons = penetrating probe • connection to chiral symmetry restoration? n p p ++ r-meson spectral function [Rapp, Wambach, Adv. Nucl. Phys. 25 (2000) 1, hep-ph/9909229]
HADES • High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer • Focus on the spectroscopy of vector mesons (r, w, f) • Consistent picture in pp, pA, pA and AA reactions • Supplemented by hadron spectroscopy, incl. K0s, L, F • Instrumental challenge! - r,w,f→ e+e- rare probe: 1 e+e- decay from vector mesons per 1-10 Million reactions! • Large background from conversion and p0-Dalitz decay • Spectrometer with a … • High geometric acceptance & invariant mass resolution • High background rejection & rate capability, dedicated LVL2 trigger
Dileptons from C+C preliminary • excess of dilepton yield above cocktail! • relative excess for 1 GeV/nucleon is larger than for 2 GeV/nucleon • shape of relative excess similar [HADES, PRL 98, 052301 (2007)] "cocktail A" = p0 + h + w (long lived)
Quantitative analysis: deduce the absolute excess yield Yexc (beyond η), making use of the TAPS η data: Dileptons from C+C (II) preliminary Yexc(2.0)/Yexc(1.0) = 2.3 ± 0.6(stat) ± 1.0(sys) • HADES confirms DLS! • excess (beyond η) scales like pions • → importance of resonances! • discussions ongoing C + C 2 AGeV Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 052302 (2007)
Comparison to DLS preliminary • extrapolation of HADES data to DLS acceptance • theory is challenged to explain data! DLS data (C+C, 1AGeV) confirmed by HADES! DLS Data: R.J. Porter et al.: PRL 79(97)1229
Comparison HSD - HADES • comparison of HADES data to HSD (new version including new isospin dependent Bremsstrahlung) • lively discussions ongoing! • → compare to p+p and p+n data! • HADES strategy: • establish experimental "cocktail" of long and short lived e+e- pairs from pp and pn data • (s<sthres for h production) • study exclusive channels (e.g. D+) in pp by missing mass spectroscopy [E. Bratkovskaya, priv. comm.]

HADES upgrade for heavier systems • RPC (TOF with higher granularity, 80ps time resolution) • DAQ (LVL1 rates beyond 30 KHz) HADES at FAIR
High density matter at FAIR • higher energies (2-45 GeV/nucleon) → higher baryon densities, temperatures, energy densities created; but still over time span of 5-10 fm/c • discovery potential: 1st order deconfinement phase transition? critical point? chiral phase transition? • CBM • rare probes! • (charm, dileptons) • sensitive to medium • ... and bulk properties • aim for microscopic • understanding [Bratkovskaya et al., PRC 69 (2004) 054907] UrQMD calculation of T, mB as function of reaction time (open symbols – nonequilibrium, full symbols – appr. pressure equilibrium)
Charm production at threshold • do c and c quarks behave differently in baryon-rich matter? • charmonium (cc) in hot and dense matter? • relation to deconfinement? • CBM will measure charm production at threshold • → after primordial production, the survival and momentum of the charm quarks depends on the interactions with the dense and hot medium! • → direct probe of the medium! [W. Cassing et al., Nucl. Phys. A 691 (2001) 753] HSD simulations

The CBM experiment MVD + STS • tracking, momentum determination, vertex reconstruction: radiation hard silicon pixel/strip detectors (STS) in a magnetic dipole field • hadron ID: TOF (& RICH) • photons, p0, h: ECAL • PSD for event characterization • high speed DAQ and trigger (up to 10 MHz int. rates) → rare probes! • electron ID: RICH & TRD • p suppression 104 • muon ID: absorber + detector layer sandwich • move out absorbers for hadron runs ... measuring both channels would be the best crosscheck of results we can ever do!
