Why do we study resonances in heavy-ion collisions?
Due to the very short lifetime ( <Δt ) of resonances:
• Large fraction of the decays occur inside the reaction zone
• Possible change in the physical properties: width broadening mass shift change in pT
spectra • Determination of the hadronic expansion time between chemical and thermal freeze-out
• Information about strangeness production due the strange quark content and high mass of *(1385)

pT vs Particle Mass
Parameterization is from ISR data at √s=26 GeV (Not correct for heavy particles. ) pT values merge for Au+Au and p+p for heavier particles.
• Are heavier particles produced predominately in more violent p+p collisions? • Do heavier particles flow less in Au+Au with respect to ?

Conclusions
• The(1385) resonance can be clearly identified via combinatorial techniques in all collision environments. No strong increase of pT ppAuAu
Different production mechanisms (jets in p+p)? Pythia with K=3 factor.
•No suppression or enhancement in the ratios of */ in p+p, d+Au and 0-5% Central Au+Au collisions within the uncertainties of the measurement.
Regeneration is needed for the re-scattering picture if the time between chemical and thermal freeze-out is non-zero. Sequential freeze-outs instead.
•T is similar for pp and AuAu collisions.
•Nuclear modification factor (RdAu) for (1385) follows the same trend as p.
Species or mass dependence can be further investigated with RAA measurement from Run 4
More data is available from Run 4 !!! Better centrality measurement for *. Au+Au at √sNN=200 GeV, 50 Million Events taken.
More to Come. Keep Tuned !
First Resonance Measurement (Y*)
Alvarez
Nobel Prize 1968
"for his decisive contributions to elementary particle physics, in particular the discovery of a large number of resonance states, made possible through his development of the technique of using hydrogen bubble chamber and data analysis"
Resonances are strongly decaying, extremely short lived particles. [~fm/c]
Invariant Mass Distribution of Y* =*(1385)
Two possible explanations:
• Resonant States (Energies at which the cross section is a maximum)
• Resonance Particles (Real Particles)
