Where Does Mass come from?
Massive quarks in lite QCD? (u,d)
Chiral (R-L) Symmetry
Massless quarks! So Where does mass
come from?Massive quark?

Weird!
The idea that empty space should be full of complicated material is wilder than many crackpot theories, and more imaginative than most science fiction…
F. Wilczeck in Physics Today (April 1998)
![Page 9: Richard Seto University of California, Riverside RHIC/STAR Workshop Bejing, PRC August 29-31, 2002](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/568143f6550346895db08409/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The HOTHOT QCD vacuum
Can you create it? YES! AT RHIC RHI collision leaves
a region of excited qq and gluons – ie hot vacuum
![Page 10: Richard Seto University of California, Riverside RHIC/STAR Workshop Bejing, PRC August 29-31, 2002](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/568143f6550346895db08409/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is the hot hot vacuum like? How hot is it? (Temperature) How sticky is it? (Energy Loss – aka Jet
quenching) How much energy can it store? (Latent
heat) What is its equation of state? What is (are) the phase transition(s) to a
cold vacuum like? 1st, 2nd order, cross over?
How does it generate mass? How/why does it confine? What interesting properties does it exhibit? …

Phases of Nuclear Matter
TWO phase transitions! The deconfinement
transition - particles are roam freely over large volume
The chiral transition - masses change
All indications are that these two are at or are very nearly at the same TC

You said theory was getting better. Can you make reliable calculations of the initial conditions?
![Page 21: Richard Seto University of California, Riverside RHIC/STAR Workshop Bejing, PRC August 29-31, 2002](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/568143f6550346895db08409/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
QCD - Notoriously hard to calculate Regime where QCD simplifies:
High Gluon Densities at low-x gluons ~ x- ,i.e. there are more of
them as you go to lower x They begin to overlap Gluons saturate
Classical Approx (McLerran, Venogopolan etc)
Robust calculations in QCD using “renormalization group” methods
Depends on a single scale

Calculations dN/dy for s, centrality, y, A energy in terms of
one variable: QS. Set QS at a single point
Predict dN/dy for all other s, centrality, y QS larger – more central, higher energy, mid-rapidity
A constant C=CLCMult must be set CL is gluon liberation coefficient – probability that a virtual
gluon becomes “real” upon collision (can be calculated on the Lattice)
Cmult is the gluon multiplication coefficient from final state interactions
We would like this to be >1, otherwise thermalization produces no new particles
One to one correspondence between gluons and final state particles (I.e. entropy conserved)
![Page 24: Richard Seto University of California, Riverside RHIC/STAR Workshop Bejing, PRC August 29-31, 2002](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/568143f6550346895db08409/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Is it thermalized? When?… it better be early, before hadronization,
if you are interested in a QGP…

needed for a QGP “yes” Does it have the Quantum numbers of the vacuum? “yes” Initially what is it? “gluons-Very strongly Interacting
Init cond-Colored Glass Condensate? “tentatively” (dA, eA, theory)
Does it thermalize? “tentatively” (theory needed?) When? “ tentatively early t=0.6 fm/c”
Is there jet quenching? “probably(almost certainly)” (dA needed)
Do quarks thermalize? “probably – final hadrons seem thermalized”
Is the system in equilibrium at freezout “yes” Have we got it? (the QGP) … “maybe” Is there deconfinement?, chiral symmetry restoration?….WE HAVE COME A LONG WAYS,
BUT THERE IS STILL A LOT OF WORK TO DO!

“The experimental method to alter the properties of the vacuum may be called vacuum engineering. An effective way may well be to to use Relativistic Heavy Ions… If indeed we are able to alter the vacuum, then because the vacuum is ever present and everywhere, our microscopic world of elementary particles would become inextricably connected to the macroscopic world of the cosmos.”
T. D. Lee in Particle Physics and Introduction to Field Theory
