  1. Heavy Ion Physics with CMS Pablo Yepes, Rice University for the CMS Collaboration Quark Matter Jan 16, 2001

  2. What To Expect from LHC • LHC (Large Heavy ion Collider) is expected to provide pA and AA collisions. • Energy: 7 TeV/charge Luminosity

  3. What to Expect From CMS

  4. Stretching CMS Detector designed for pp. However due to flexible design offers unique capabilities for AA mm A minimum bias Pb-Pb event in CMS

  5. Some CMS Assets • CMS has excellent muon detection capabilities: • |h|<1.3 for barrel and |h|<2.4 with endcaps. • Good mass resolution: 46 MeV for the Upsilon. • Efficient suppression of background from p/K decays: • Electromagnetic calorimeter at 1.3 m from beam axis. • PT threshold at 3.5 GeV/c for a single muon to reach the m-chambers. • Large calorimeter coverage with good jet reconstruction capabilities.

  6. Physics Topics • Event Characterization • Quarkonium Production: Upsilon and J/Y • Zmm • Jet Production: • Single/Double jet ratios. • Z and g tagged jets • Ultra-Peripheral Collisions: gg and g-Pomeron

  7. Event Characterization In spite of very strong magnetic field (4 Tesla) there is a good correlation between centrality and transverse energy.

  8. Quarkonia Cross Sections Production Cross Sections for our studies • A scaling law: sAA= A2a spp • spp from CDF @ 1.8 TeV extrapolated to 5.5(7) TeV. • a=0.9(0.95) for J/Y (Upsilon).

  9. Quarkonia Acceptance in m-Chambers J/Y • J/Y with • pT>5 GeV • in Barrel • Upsilon down to low transverse momentum Full Detector 10% Acceptance Barrel Pt(GeV) Upsilon 20% Full Detector Barrel

  10. Quarkonia Reconstruction • Essential sub-detectors: • Tracking devices • Muon system • Pessimistic assumptions for background estimates: • dNch/dy=8000 (most generators < 5500) • <pt>p=0.48 GeV/c (HIJING 0.39 GeV/c) • <pt>k=0.67 GeV/c Special Heavy Ion Tracking Algorithm Significant Muon background from p and K decays

  14. Quarkonia Reference • At SPS, J/Y is compared to Drell-Yan. • At LHC Drell-Yan contribution is negligible. • Z0 proposed as reference to  production. • MZ>M • Different production mechanisms: • Z0: antiquark-quark, quark-gluon and antiquark-gluon. • : gluon-gluon. • Cross check di-muon reconstruction algorithm

  18. Conclusions • CMS is provides unique tools to study Heavy Ion Collisions at LHC. • Physics considered: • Event characterization with large rapidity coverage. • Quarkonium production:  and J/ families. • Jet quenching. • Ultra-Peripheral collisions.

  19. Addendum: Tracking 60 • Developed for dNch/dy=8000 and dN0/dy=4000. • Track only particles with tracks in m detector. • Use m-chambers tracks as seeds. • Use only tracking detector providing 3D space points.
