• Complexity of interpreting data from HI collisions• Use systematics: spectra, elliptic flow,…• Present d+Au, Cu+Cu, excitation function,…
• Which leads to the complexity of interpreting d+Au…
Complexity of d(p)+A collisions

Nuclear structure functionsShadowing, saturation at low-xAnti-shadowing at moderate, high-x
Initial state scatteringOften modeled as increase in effective kTLikely largest impact at RHIC where spectra are softer

Non-photonic e, from heavy-flavor decays
Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 242301 (2012)
Enhancement present in min-biasEffect not caused by challenges of centrality definition

Forward rapidity suppressedLikely shadowing at low-x in Au
Backward rapidity enhancedanti-shadowing at higher x in Au?or increase in <kT> due to initial scattering?

Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 242301 (2012)
Does <kT> increase have larger impact when p+p spectrum is soft?spectra = convolution of scattering + fragmentation
Or recombination effects in hadronization? Or collective? Or…Opportunity for theory impact

J/y CNM

EPS09 nuclear structure functions plus breakupReasonable reproduction, misses centrality dependence
BUT, charm is enhanced at moderate pT
(non-photonic electrons RdA>1)
1) Do these calculations reproduce open charm RdA >1 ?
2) If not, then more effective suppression needed for J/y
PRL 107, 142301 (2011)
Normalize J/y by HF?
Sep 27, 201310
J/y at mid-y suppressed @low-pt
Charm is enhanced at moderate pt (non-photonic electrons RdA>1)
Alternative: use dA HF spectra as baseline?
• Question, what axis? pT ?RdA

Common suppression pattern when normalized by square of RdA
Does this take into account impact of initial state increase of <kT>?

Not in current RHIC running plan :(How does RdA change from 200 GeV to 62 GeV Three beam energies (62, 200 GeV, LHC) constrains interplay
of structure function, initial state scatteringRdA calculations at 62 GeV
p RdA ~ 2 at 62 GeV p RdA ~ 1.2 at 200 GeV

Lower beam energy changes interplay of two effectsStronger CNM competing with weaker energy-loss
Forthcoming PHENIX publicationspectra with smaller systematicscomparison with p+p, RAA etc.
If your model reproduces 200 GeV and 2.76 TeV heavy flavor RAA
Final call for 62 GeV HF RAA prediction

Physics Goal
Sep 27, 201327
Energy-loss heavy-flavor understand nature of sQGPProgress on understanding many detailsIf a model reproduces a broad range of data
Can we infer any characteristics of QGP?Either direct via a parameter of model
Diffusion parameterOr run same dynamical model in a “box”, e.g. radiation +
collision Eloss
Infer effective transport parametersWhich characteristics of sQGP are accessible this way and can we
communicate this to our fellow physicists?Maybe too many unsettled aspects yet
Summary

Complexity of interpreting d+AuLevers: centrality, A, y, s, change impact of
Structure function, initial state scattering, e-loss,…HF RdA enhancement up to factor of 1.5
Call for model calculationsIs dAu HF a better baseline for RAA HF and dAu J/y
production?? Complexity of interpreting data from HI collisions
Cu+Cu HF yields smoothly connects dAu to Au+AuCompetition between enhancement + suppression
Change this competitionAu+Au HF data @ 62 GeV, need dAu running at 62 GeV
