A Comprehensive New Detector for Detailed Study of the QGP, Initial Conditions and Spin Physics at RHIC II
نویسنده
چکیده
A case is presented for compelling physics at a high luminosity RHIC II collider. A comprehensive new detector system is introduced to address this physics. The experimental focus is on detailed jet tomography of the quark gluon plasma (QGP), measuring gluon saturation in the nucleus, investigating the color glass condensate, measuring effects of the QCD vacuum on particle masses, determining the structure and dynamics within the proton and possible new phenomena. The physics and detector capabilities are introduced.

The Future of Hard and Electromagnetic Probes at RHIC
Potential nearand long-term physics opportunities with jets, heavy flavors and electromagnetic probes at RHIC are presented. Much new physics remains to be unveiled using these probes, due to their sensitivity to the initial high density stage of RHIC collisions, when quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation is expected. Additional physics will include addressing deconfinement, chiral symmetry restor...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Physics with the ATLAS detector
Recent results from RHIC experiments suggest that a hot and dense QCD matter, which maybe the quark gluon plasma (QGP), is formed in Gold+Gold collisions at a center mass energy of 200 GeV per colliding nucleon pair. The LHC is planning to accelerate heavy nuclei such as Lead at energies of 2.75 TeV/nucleon. At these energies it will be possible to produce a even higher temperature QCD matter. ...

b see author list in the back of the proceedings A new detector concept (R2D) is needed to harvest the unique physics opportunities at RHIC-II during the LHC era. This concept is based on a high granularity hermetic array of detectors featuring high momentum particle identification and superior resolution for photon and onium measurements. Most components of R2D can also be applied to future el...

متن کاملFuture of Jets, Heavy Flavor, and EM Probes at RHIC and RHIC II
Exciting results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have been presented at this Workshop. However, fundamental questions remain to be addressed in the future regarding whether the system is deconfined, chiral symmetry is restored, a color glass condensate exists in the initial state, and how the system evolves through eventual hadronization. Jets, heavy flavors and electromagnetic ...
