Fluctuating Initial Conditions



Initial Conditions Studying heavy-ion collisions requires a good understanding

of the role of the initial conditions:- Glauber model:

incoherent superposition of p+p collisions

- Color Glass Condensate (CGC): saturation effects are included

They differ:- initial temperature gradients- initial high-pT parton distribution- distance travelled by each partonLeads to a different opacity estimate

Energy-Loss Mechanisms


A. Adare et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 142301 (2010)

First investigation of v2(Npart) and RAA(Npart) for pT > 5 GeV hadrons is based onJ. Jia et. al., PRC 82 (2010),

024902

simple jet absorption model

Once RAA(Npart=350) ~ 0.18 for 0-5% p0 data - pQCD-like energy loss

fails to reproduce v2(Npart)

- AdS/CFT-like energy loss describes data for CGC initial conditions

Small fluctuations for

RAA(Npart)large fluctuations

for v2(Npart)Not straightforward to distinguish between initial conditions


RAA vs. IAA, and vn vs. vnIAA

Extend to dijet analysis, but considering kaway = k

In contrast to Jia’s model, we

fit the RAA vs. IAA

vn vs. vnIAA:

- clear shift between Glauber and CGC model

- saturation effect for larger z


J. Jia et.al., arXiv:1101.0290 [nucl-th]

It is necessary to alwaysdetermine the mean andthe with of a correlation!

41

Higher Harmonics


z=1 z=2

- v3≠0 event-by-event,

- v4 similar for average and event-by-event initial conditionsNot suitable to distinguish betweenGlauber and CGC initial conditions

Higher harmonics are more sensitive to local gradients, but also to event-

by-event fluctuations larger v3,4 fluctuations


42

Path-length dependence


Study the path-length dependence at b=8fm:- Once RAA is

fixed via k,- sensitivity

remains mostly for v2 and v3

saturation effect occurs for larger zdescribed by AdS/CFToff-shell partons

S. Gubser et. al., JHEP 0810 (2008), 052;P. Chesler et.al., PRD 79 (2009) 125015

Measurement of virtuality in jet-photon collisions & v2,3 could lead to signature of AdS/CFT dynamics & microscopic mechanism of energy loss.


Summary „Conical“ signal can be created (general effect):

by averaging over deflected wakes created by jets.

Structure cannot directly be related to EoS, but is a measure for the flow

even for subsonic jets

Necessary to study heavy-flavor tagged jets.

43

„Conical“ correlations could arise from multiple non-Mach sources


Investigated higher Fourier harmonics of jet quenchingShowing that they are remarkably insensitive to theGlauber and KLN/CGC model initial conditions

Studied the path-length dependence for larger exponentsa saturation effect occurs for larger exponentsfavoring an AdS/CFT energy loss

Calculating v3 using a viscous hydro model with initial conditions deformed

59

Insensitivity of higher vn‘s


Why are the vn‘s at high-pT so insensivite to initial conditions while the vn‘s of soft particles are?- viscous forces are driven by local gradients- jet absorption is driven by global differences in the

integrated

These two effects are different, especially event-by-event- Glauber and CGC in. cond. are tuned to reproduce the observed multiplicites<T> is similar, even if local gradients of T are different

Hydrodynamics and tomography lead to very different results.
