Why Hydrodynamics? (contd.)• We would like to understand the QCD matter

under equilibrium.• Lattice QCD is not able to describe dynamics

of heavy ion collisions.• Analyze heavy ion reaction based on a

model with an assumption of local equilibrium, and see what happens and whether it is consistent with data.

• If consistent, it would be a starting point of the physics of QCD matter.

Centrality Dependence of v2

Discovery of “Large” v2 at RHIC• v2 data are comparable with hydro results.• Hadronic cascade cannot reproduce data.• Note that, in v2 data, there exists eccentricity fluctuation which is not considered in model calculations.

Quarkonium suppression in QGPColor Debye Screening

T.Matsui & H. Satz PLB178 416 (1986)

Suppression depends on temperature (density) and radius of QQbar system.

TJ/psi : 1.6Tc~2.0Tc T, T’ : ~ 1.1Tc

May serve as the thermometer in the QGP.

Results from Hydro + J/psi Model• Best fit @ (TJ/, T, fFD) = (2.00Tc, 1.34Tc, 10%)

Bar: uncorrelated sys.Bracket: correlated sys.

• Onset of J/ suppression at Npart ~ 160. ( Highest T at Npart~160 reaches to 2.0Tc.)• Gradual decrease of SJ/

tot above Npart~160 reflects transverse area with T>TJ/ increases.• TJ/can be determined in a narrow region.

Summary and Outlook

• Elliptic flow– QGP fluid + hadron gas picture works well.– Starting Point of finite temperature QCD in

H.I.C.

• Tomography utilizing hydro model– Statistical analysis of jet quenching parameter

(stopping power of high energy partons)

– J/psi suppression above T~2Tc. (Melting temperature of charmonium)

• Toward establishment of the

“observational QGP physics”.
