Parton Collectivity from RHIC to the LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
Anisotropic flow is recognized as one of the main observables providing information on the early dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. The large elliptic flow observed at RHIC is considered to be evidence for almost perfect liquid behavior of the strongly coupled Quark Gluon Plasma produced in the collisions. In this report we review our current understanding of this new state of matter and investigate the predictions for anisotropic flow at the LHC. PACS numbers: 25.75.Ld

Heavy ions and parton saturation from RHIC to LHC
The phenomenology of gluon saturation at small parton momentum fraction, Bjorken-x, in the proton and in the nucleus is introduced. The experimentally-accessible kinematic domains at the nucleus–nucleus colliders RHIC and LHC are discussed. Finally, the saturation hints emerging from measurements at RHIC and the perspectives for LHC are described.
متن کاملCold Nuclear Modifications at RHIC and LHC
We use recent nuclear parton distributions, among them the Hirai –Kumano –Nagai (HKN) and Eskola –Paukkunen – Salgado (EPS08) parameterizations, in our pQCDimproved parton model to calculate the nuclear modification factor, RAA′(pT ), at RHIC and at the LHC. At RHIC, the deuteron-gold nuclear modification factor for pions, measured at pT ≥ 10 GeV/c in central collisions, appears to deviate more...
متن کاملPunch-through jets in A+A collisions at RHIC/LHC
Abstract. High pT single and dihadron production is studied within a NLO pQCD parton model with jet quenching in high energy A + A collisions at the RHIC/LHC energy. A simultaneous χ-fit to both single and dihadron spectra can be achieved within a narrow range of energy loss parameter. Punch-through jets are found to result in the dihadron suppression factor slightly more sensitive to medium th...
متن کاملStrange quark collectivity of φ meson at RHIC
Based on AMPT model, the elliptic flow v2 of φ mesons which is reconstructed from KK at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energy has been studied. The results show that reconstructed v2 of φmeson can keep the earlier information before φ decays and it seems to obey the number of constituent quark scaling as other mesons and baryons. This result indicates that the φ v2 mostly reflects t...
متن کاملMINIJETS IN ULTRARELATIVISTIC HEAVY ION COLLISIONS AT RHIC AND LHC K.J.Eskola
Recent results on minijet production in nuclear collisions at the RHIC and LHC energies are reviewed. Initial conditions of the QGP at τ = 0.1 fm/c, especially parton chemistry, thermalization and net baryon number-to-entropy ratio are discussed. Also, contribution of minijets from a hard BFKL-pomeron ladder will be estimated.
