  3. Outline: Topics for Discussion • Is heavy flavor physics interesting to pursue at RHIC II? • Need to convince outsiders too! • If so, what are the most interesting measurements that can be done at RHIC II? • Quarkonia • Open heavy flavor • What are the requirements for making those measurements. • What are the capabilities of the new detector for a heavy flavor programme? Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  4. Physics at RHIC II Degrees of Freedom of sQGP (Deconfinement) • Heavy Quark Potentials in Excited Vacuum • Quarkonium production mechanism & polarization Origin of Mass (Hadronization & Chiral Symmetry) Origin of Spin (of Proton) Phase(s) of Matter (CGC  QGP) Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  5. Heavy Flavor and Deconfinement • Are the following statements still valid? : • Measuring quarkonium states, and oberving a suppression pattern, is our most direct way to establish deconfinement experimentally. • Theory: • Heavy quark potentials in Lattice QCD • Suppression pattern can give information of Temperature of the deconfined phase. Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  6. J/y Suppression: then and now Lattice QCD: Studies of the dissociation temperature of J/y Lattice Internal Energy as Potential: J/y dissolves at T=1.7 Tc Spectral Functions: J/y dissolves at T~ (1.7-2.5) Tc P. Petrevczky, Hard Probes Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  7. Deconfinement Temperature The major goal: thermometer for early state: Tdiss(Y’) < Tdiss((3S)) < Tdiss(J/Y)  Tdiss((2S))< Tdiss((1S)) • Need to measure full quarkonium spectroscopy. • Need to do it at least in pp, dA, AA Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  8. Requirements for 3rd Generation Detector • High Rate • Large acceptance  rate + xF coverage Pythia 6.2 Pythia 6.2 Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  9. Characteristics of Detector  Allow a Unique RHIC II Physics Program A Comprehensive New Detector at RHIC II (R2D) Central detector (|h| 3.4) HCal and m-detectors Forward tracking: 2-stage Si disks Superconducting coil (B = 1.3T) HCal and m-detectors EM Calorimeter Forward magnet (B = 1.5T) Vertex tracking RICH ToF Tracking: Si, mini-TPC(?), m-pad chambers Forward spectrometer: (h= 3.5 - 4.8) RICH EMCal (CLEO) HCal (HERA) m-absorber Aerogel h= 1.2 – 3.5 PID: RICH ToF Aerogel |h|  1.2 SLD magnet Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  10. Characteristics of R2D Central detector (|h| 3.4) HCal and m-detectors Superconducting coil (B = 1.3T) HCal & m-dets EM Calorimeter RICH Forward spectrometer: (h= 3.5 - 4.8) magnet tracking RICH EMCal (CLEO) HCal (HERA) m-absorber ToF Aerogel h= 1.2 – 3.5 |h|  1.2 Large magnetic field (B = 1.3T) - 3.4 < |h| < 3.4 inside magnet • Tracking • PID out to 20 – 30 GeV/c • EM/hadronic calorimetry • m chambers • Triggering 4p acceptance 3.5 < h < 4.8 forward spectrometer • External magnet • Tracking • RICH • EM/hadronic calorimetry • Triggering Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  11. Alternative: R2D based on CDF(CDF and CLEO have same field and magnet radius) Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  12. Quarkonium Rates at RHIC II • Assume L=30 nb-1 • 14 weeks of running, at 50% duty factor • RHIC II Luminosity = RHIC I x 40 • J/y acceptance (in |h|<3, for p>2) = 28% • Estimated trigger efficiency = 60% •  acceptance (in |h|<3, for p>3) = 60% • Estimated trigger efficiency = 60% • sAuAu = 38 nb x (AA)a x 3.6 = 3.5 mb • J/y measured = sAuAu x (eff acc) L= 17 M •  measured yield = 32 K Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  13. Quarkonium Rates (SLD geometry) J/Y Eg > 2 GeV Eg > 4 GeV ? ?  Au+Au min bias, 30 nb-1: • plepton > 2 GeV/c for J/Y , 4 GeV/c for  Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  14. Complete program requirements • For a full understanding of charmonium suppression: • understand nuclear effects • suppression vs. recombination • contribution from feeddown ( states) • understand co-mover absorption • charm production cross section Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  15. Nuclear Effects E866 J/Y data Quark shadowing and final state absorption + Gluon shadowing + Anti-shadowing + dE/dx • absorption, shadowing • from pA compared to pp • important: xF, x1, x2 dependence Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  16. Acceptance in xF xF dependence: • E866 was fixed target. • To access large xF at RHIC, large rapidity is a must! • R2D with SLD geometry: 10% acceptance at xF=0.3 • Reach xF=0.6 with coverage |h|<4 Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  17. Lessons from NA50: systematics • Study pA in detail  absorption in nuclear matter Ebinding(Y’) ~ 50 MeV Ebinding(c) ~ 200 MeV Ebinding(J/Y) ~ 640 MeV Similar study requires good statistics in 6 different beam species! In collider, can’t be done without large acceptance. Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  18. Excitation function • Recombination vs suppression. • √s dependence • pT, centrality • Large acceptance is desirable to achieve reasonable statistics in short time. Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  19. cc at Tevatron: Luminosity… Summer 2002 Results Tevatron (s = 1.8 TeV) • D0: • s for |y| < 1.8 ! • J/Y, Y’, c1, c2 • (1S,2S,3S) 4.8 pb-1 of data ~30% systematic uncertainty Luminosity: 114 pb -1 Needs tons of integrated luminosity! Not an easy measurement. Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  20. cc Feed-down in R2D, g Acceptance To measure cc decay & determine feed-down to J/y cc J/y + g, must have large forward acceptance for g Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  21. Measuring  : Why and How resolution 8.5 ‰ @ 4.9 GeV CDF  m+ m- Tracking chamber in 1.4 T field PRL 75 (1995) 4358 • All states are interesting for measuring T • In AA: Less affected by co-mover absorption. • Need excellent resolution, e.g. CDF • B=1.4 T • Muon capabilities Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  22. m+m- in R2D • Measure 1s,2s,3s in AA • 1s is most bound, may not dissolve at RHIC. • Ratio s(3s)/s(1s) very sensitive to deconfinement. • Trigger on is  possible even in Au+Au. • Most luminosity- hungry measurement. • In 30 nb-1, yield in R2D • 1s = 31K • 2s = 5.5 K • 3s = 6 K • Ratio measurement feasible! Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  23. Charm Production RHIC s = 200 GeV • Drell-Yan dominates only at much larger masses. • Can’t use J/y/DY ratio • Must measure charm s • May be the only reference at RHIC • Production dominated by gluons in both cases. • Open charm reconstruction: • Particle identification • Precision inner tracker. Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  24. Measurements in pp • Reference for AA of course. • Still unanswered questions on quarkonium production. • Polarization • Acceptance in cos(q*) • pT dependence • J/y polarization in AA? • There’s a huge gap for studies of charmonia in hadronic collisions between fixed target • (38 GeV and 1.8 TeV) RHIC is right in between Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  25. A complete onium program • In pA nuclear absorption: dependent on xF or x2 ? • In AA: Full spectroscopy , cc: important! Need Luminosity. R2D • In pp: understand charm production (singlet vs octet model) Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  26. Summary • In terms of quarkonia physics RHIC-II is not too far behind LHC • s(LHC)/s(RHIC) = 9 (GRV-HO) – 25 (MRS-D1) • RHIC-II: 5  higher L • RHIC: > 5 times longer AA running • Measuring “just” J/Y is not enough to extract a physically meaningful result  AA, pp, pA as function of pT, xF, cos*, centrality, reaction plane • Given a 3rd generation detector and RHIC-II luminosity allow a world class measurement of quarkonium in pp, pA, AA at RHIC energies. Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez

  27. Addressing additional Physics Unique New Physics Programs at RHIC II: • g - jet/leading particle physics program • flavor dependent modification of fragmentation due to medium • Quarkonium physics program • deconfinement, initial conditions, nuclear effects Unique Physics Contributions to: • Gluon saturation (CGC) • Chiral symmetry restoration • Structure and dynamics of the proton For discussion during the workshop… Manuel Calderón de la Barca Sánchez
