What we need from theory…
New ideas – good and bad. Diligent work on good old ideas. Safe disposal of bad old ideas.
Make sense of data. Suggest new experimental tests
and analyses.

Thermalization by “black magic”
Interpretation of external fields as temperature
B. Müller, W. Greiner, J. Rafelski [Phys. Lett. A 63 (1977) 181]
“We show that average excitation of the vacuum state in the presence of an external electric field can be described by an effective temperature kT = eE/(2πm).”
Quantum fields in accelerated frames appear thermal with T = a/2.
Application to AA collisions suggests “thermalization” time t ~ /Qs (Kharzeev).
Not quite clear how far it carries:
Problems even in QED, because a = F/m, and forces (except gravity) distinguish particles by their charge. Temperature does not.
Moreover, QCD radiation can be generated by “rotation” rather than acceleration of color charges.
Interesting, but not entirely new
concept

Other new ideas
Jet-induced Mach cones ( Ruppert’s talk) DWBA treatment of FSI in HBT (Cramer) includes last inelastic
interaction of emitted particles (not kinetics!) Correct Vopt ? Consistent ? Apply to other hadrons.
Recombination (hard-soft) as medium contribution to fragmentation function (E. Wang).

3-D Hydrodynamics
New 3-D relativistic hydro code (SPheRIO) with continuous freeze-out available (Hama).
3-D hydro code with partial hadrochemical equilibrium (Hirano). Understanding of v2() requires improved treatment of hadronic freeze-out.
3-D hydro code with transition to hadronic cascade at Tf < Tc (“hydro+micro” approach – Nonaka).
We now need to see systematic studies of AA phenomenology: flow, hadron spectra, imbedded hard probes (photons, jets).
Immediate goal is determination of EOS and s(x,t) from data. How far can we go without QGP viscosity?

Scattering on “D-meson” like bound states in the plasma (Rapp). Radiative energy loss implies RAA(e) > 2RAA() (Djordjevic).
Parton cascade with gg ggg and detailed balance equilibrates rapidly (Xu). More efficient than tr would naively suggest.
Are parton cascades with huge ’s (Molnar, Zhang) really telling us anything useful, except the obvious, or are they misleading?

Beautiful review (Gale) – little to add. Photons: Good (improvable) theory can be a powerful tool ! Lepton pairs: The fun starts now !
Can we rule out certain models, e.g. mass shift only?

What is the path to chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement?

Charmonium Review of J/ suppression theory
(Nardi). Still no generally accepted
theoretical framework. Since mc sets a hard scale, eikonal techniques (as in parton energy loss) might serve as basis of unified framework.
No quantitative agreement between lattice (spectral function) and potential approaches to disappearance of heavy quarkonia (Mocsy, Petreczky).
Detailed calculations of J/ regeneration are needed.
Plenty of room for improvements !
Don’t get confused by irritating details….the obvious may be true!

Hadronization Question of joint or separate
chemical and kinetic freeze-out remains unresolved (Florkowski).
Need to do sophisticated freeze-out calculations using opacity, reach a consensus on freeze-out physics. Does a fit of the spectrum with T =
109 MeV really make sense? Could we detect m shift or change
in medium?
PHENIX
Data suggest s = 1 at RHIC. But excellent fits with s > 2 exist (Letessier & Rafelski). And s can be different in QGP and HG Determine s as function of pT ?
Explore QCD phase diagram as function of s (Taylor expansion?). Could influence order of transition (just like Nf)!

Recombination
Recombination model works amazingly well: Transition to common RAA at pT ~ 6 GeV/c. Systematic deviation from quark number scaling in v2 predicted from
higher Fock space admixture is observed (at 5% level - Sorensen). Dihadron correlations (Bass) Pedastal and correlation effect (Hwa)

Measuring s and Entropy is related to produced particle number and is conserved
in the expansion of the (nearly) ideal fluid: dN/dy → S → s = S/V.
Two approaches:1) Use inferred particle numbers at chemical freeze-out from statistical
model fits of hadron yields;2) Use measured hadron yields and HBT system size parameters as kinetic
freeze-out (Pratt & Pal).
Good news: results agree within errors: dS/dy = 5100 ± 400 for Au+Au (6% central, 200 GeV/NN)
→ s = (dS/dy)/(R20) = 33 ± 3 fm-3 (at 0 = 1 fm/c)
