Quantum Opacity, RHIC HBT Puzzle, and the Chiral Phase Transition Gerald Miller and John Cramer, UW • RHIC Physics, HBT and RHIC HBT Puzzle • Formalism • Quantum mech. treatment of optical potential, U (Chiral symmetry) • Reproducing data, wave function • Summary The RHIC HBT Puzzle Data from the first five years of RHIC Some evidence supports the presence of QGP formed in early stages of Au+Au collisions: Relativistic hydrodynamics describes the low and medium energy dynamic collision products Elliptic flow data implies very high initial pressure and collectivity Most energetic pions, produced early, strongly suppressed Strong suppression of back-to-back jets.

Pion absorption implemented via imaginary part of optical potential. Real part of optical must exist, acts as mass and velocity change of pions due to chiralsymmetry breaking as they pass from the hot, dense collision medium to the outside vacuum Formalism • Pions interact U with dense medium Gyulassy et al ‘79 is distorted (not plane) wave DWEF- distorted wave emission function Wave Equation Solutions Matter is infinitely long Bjorken tube and azimuthal symmetry, wave functions factorize: 3D 2D(distorted)1D(plane) We solve the reduced Klein-Gordon wave equation for yp: Partial wave expansion ! ordinary diff eq Son & Stephanov 2002 v2, v2 m2 (T)approach 0 near T = Tc =ω2-m2π Both terms of U are negative (attractive) Fit STAR Data 6 source, 3 optical potential parameters Fit central STAR data at sNN=200 GeV reproduce Ro, Rs, Rl reproduce dN/dy (both magnitude and shape) 8 momentum values (i.e., 32 data points) Fit to 200 GeV Au+Au Radii U=0 Re U=0 Potential Effects 200 GeV Au+Au Spectrum U=0 noBE no flow Meaning of the Parameters • Temperature: 193 MeV fixed at phase transition temperature S.

Excellent fits sNN=200 GeV data: three radii, pT spectrum. Fit parameters: indicate strong collective flow, significant opacity, and huge attraction. Describe pion emission in hot, highly dense matter (a soft pion equation of state) . Replace the RHIC HBT Puzzle with evidence for a chiral phase transition. In most scenarios, the QGP phase transition is accompanied by chiral phase transition at about same critical temperature. • Phys.Rev.Lett.94:102302,2005, nucl-th/0507004 The End SPARES FOLLOW For details see: Phys.Rev.Lett.94:102302,20 05 and a newer preprint: nucl-th/0507004 , submitted PRC The End Source Properties S0 ( x, k ) = S0 ( , ) B (b, KT ) /(2 )3 2 2 ( 0 ) cosh S 0 ( , ) = exp 2 2 2 2 2 ( ) 2 (“hydrodynamics inspired” source function of Heinz & collaborators) 1 B (b, KT ) = M T r (b) K u m (medium density) exp 1 T 2 2 2 =t z (Bose-Einstein thermal function) tz 1 = 2 ln tz K = particle momentum 4-vector u = trasverse flow 4-vector S0(x,K) ~freeze out surface Correlation/Gaussian Fit Eikonal Magnitude of wave function b l q b/R RO = R/4.48 HV Correlation Functions 9 Fits: 200 GeV/A Au+Au c2 vs. Temp for 9 Fits
