Forward (onium) physics from

PHENIX

Mickey Chiu

Why are we interested?•High energy behavior might be universal across all hadrons and predicted entirely by the CGC E2ln~ Eas

CGC: )/(ln~~~ 222QCDT Eyb

•Geometric Scaling

•Strongly coupled regime which becomes classical computable!

0.3

x < 10-2

CGC in Heavy Ion Collisions •As Initial state for Heavy Ion Collisions

•Multiplicity Distributions

•Long range correlations from a “glasma”, explanation of the ridge

PHOBOS W=200 GeV

But the outstanding question is, do we see the CGC at RHIC?

Are the forward d+Au results evidence for gluon saturation at RHIC energies?Not clear. Need more data, and more observables.

• The MPC can reliably detect pions (via 0) up to 17 GeV in energy– Limitations are the tower separation and merging effects

pT max ~ 1.7 GeV/c

• To go to higher pT, use single clusters in the calorimeter

– Use 0s for 7 GeV < E < 17 GeV

– Use clusters for 20 GeV < E < 50 GeV

• Correlation measurements are performed using 0s, clusters

• Use event mixing to identify pions form foreground (same event pairs) and mixed event background photon pair distributions

• RCP pretty flat vs centrality at backward rapidity; but falls at forward rapidity (small-x)

• more soon – precision statistics requires precision systematics & careful analysis

Conclusions•Forward Pion I_dA for Central Arm Triggered hadrons – forward MPC pi0’s

•Widths ~ consistent between p+p and d+Au•Associated Yields suppressed in d+Au, and stronger with more central collisions•Working on triggered MPC data and Au going MPC side•Can then map out x dependence

•Less forward muon arm triggered (2-5 GeV pT) hadrons – central arm hadron correlations show small I_dAu difference

•R_dAu of those muon arm hadrons shows suppression pattern •New data from run08 on the way

•Some of the more “ordinary” cold nuclear effects can be mapped out with complementary measurements, like J/Psi.

•d+Au is a very complicated system

Brief PHENIX Status & Future

Recent detector improvements:• large, more accurate reaction plane detector• higher-pT PID (TOF-West)• forward (MPC) calorimeters• Hadron blind detector (HBD)

Operations improvements:• integrated luminosity: Au+Au (x3); d+Au (x30)• data taking efficiency: 52% (2007) -> 68% (2008)

Future:• HBD for clean low-mass dielectron measurements (next AuAu run)• muon Trigger system for high-pT muon triggering (W’s)• silicon detectors for new level of robustness in heavy-quark measurements• continuing DAQ upgrades to maintain high speed and efficiency

LHC: extending the low-x reach

• RHIC as opened the low-x frontier finding indications for new physics (CGC?)

• LHC will lower the x- frontier by another factor ~30 at the same rapidities

Experimental Method: Overview• Using azimuthal angle two-particle correlation technique

– d+Au, pp collisions at sNN = 200 GeV from RHIC Run8

– Rapidity separated particles with one particle in the forward direction allows one to probe the gluon distribution at lower x

– Trigger particles are (0, h+/-) with || < 0.35– Associate particles are forward 0s and clusters with 3.1 < < 3.9

Cold Nuclear Structure (d+Au)

Saturation picture in nuclei

•Transverse area of a parton ~ 1/Q2

• Cross section parton-probe : ~ s/Q2

• Partons start to overlap when SA~NA• The parton density saturates

• Saturation scale : Qs2 ~ s(Qs

2)NA/RA2 ~A1/3

• At saturation Nparton is proportional to 1/s

• Qs2 is proportional to the density of participating nucleons; larger for

heavy nuclei.
