The Next Yukawa Phase of QCD at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
QCD predicts the existence of a new partonic Yukawa phase above a critical temperature Tc ∼ 150 MeV. I review some of the key observables which will be used in heavy ion reactions to search for this new phase at RHIC. Systematics of collective observables (Nch, E⊥), flow patterns, meson interferometry, jet quenching, and J/ψ suppression are discussed. This talk is updated with first data from RHIC.

Searching for the Next Yukawa Phase of QCD ∗
QCD predicts that the interactions between quarks and gluons change from a confining to a screened Yukawa form above a critical temperature Tc ∼ 150 MeV. In this talk, I review some of the key observables in heavy ion reactions which are being used to search for this new partonic Yukawa phase at SPS and RHIC. These include collective observables such as dE⊥/dyd p⊥, meson interferometry, jet que...
متن کاملNext-to-leading order QCD corrections to one hadron-production in polarized pp collisions at RHIC
We calculate the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the spin-dependent cross section for single-inclusive hadron production in hadronic collisions. This process will be soon studied experimentally at RHIC, providing a tool to unveil the polarized gluon distribution ∆g. We observe a considerably improvement in the perturbative stability for both unpolarized and polarized cross sections. Th...
متن کاملNext-to-leading order QCD corrections to ATT for prompt photon production
We present a next-to-leading order QCD calculation of the cross section for isolated large-pT prompt photon production in collisions of transversely polarized protons. We devise a simple method of dealing with the phase space integrals in dimensional regularization in the presence of the cos(2Φ) azimuthal-angular dependence occurring for transverse polarization. Our results allow to calculate t...
متن کاملMeasurements of High Density Matter at Rhic
QCD predicts a phase transition between hadronic matter and a Quark Gluon Plasma at high energy density. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a new facility dedicated to the experimental study of matter under extreme conditions. I will discuss the first round of experimental results from colliding heavy nuclei at RHIC and our current understanding of t...
متن کاملEquation of State and Collective Dynamics
This talk summarizes the present status of a program to quantitatively relate data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) on collective expansion flow to the Equation of State (EOS) of hot and dense strongly interacting matter, including the quark-gluon plasma and the quark-hadron phase transition. The limits reached with the present state of the art and the next steps required to make...
