Outline
  • Motivation
  • 3D QGP fluid hadronic cascade model
  • Mass ordering of v2(pT) revisited
  • Violation of mass ordering for f mesons
  • Summary

Motivation
To understand the QGP in H.I.C., one needs to
understand the hadronic stage since
Indispensable to disentangle these effects for
understanding of unknowns, in particular, if one
wants to extract viscous coefficient in the QGP.

A Hybrid Approach QGP hydro hadronic cascade
TH et al.(06)
hadron gas
  • Initial condition
  • Transverse ? Glauber
  • Longitudinal ? BGK triangle
  • QGP fluid
  • 3D ideal hydrodynamics
  • (Hirano)
  • massless free u,d,sg
  • gas bag const.
  • Tc 170 MeV
  • Hadron gas
  • Hadronic cascade, JAM1.09
  • (Nara)
  • Tsw 169 MeV

Pseudorapidity Distribution
Tune initial parameters with Tth 100MeV to
reproduce dN/deta. Then, switch to hadronic
cascade below TTsw. Caveat Rejecting in- coming
particles at Tsw
6
pT spectra for pi, K, and p
Reasonable reproduction of yields and spectra in
low pT region (pTlt1.5 GeV/c)
7
Hadronic Dissipative Effect on v2
Hadronic dissipation reduces v2 as expected.
Note Early chemical freezeout (Tch170 MeV) is
implemented in pure hydrodynamic calculations.
8
v2(pT) for pi, K, and p
Fail to reproduce data due to (absence of)
fluctuation of geometry in the calcualtions. Mille

et al (06),DrescherNara (07) Browniowski et
al(07)
OK!
9
Pseudorapidity Dependence of Elliptic Flow
Again, it fails to reproduce data due to
eccentricity fluctuation
v2 is largely suppressed in forward region due to
hadronic dissipation. Hydro cascade generates a
right amount of elliptic flow.

Origin of Mass Ordering
b7.2fm
  • Mass ordering behavior
  • results from hadronic
  • rescatterings.
  • Subtle interplay btw. perfect fluid QGP and
    hadronic corona.

Violation of mass ordering for phi mesons! Clear
signal of early decoupling!
Caveat Published PHENIX data obtained in
pTgt1GeV/c for f mesons
16
phi/p Ratio as a function of pT
  • pp collisions
  • Pure hydro in AA
  • collisions
  • Hydro cascade
  • in AA collisions

Clear signal for early decoupling of phi mesons

Summary
  • A QGP fluid hadronic rescattering
  • Reproduction of both pT dist. and v2(pT,m)
  • Reproduction of integrated and differential v2 in
    forward rapidity regions
  • Origin of mass ordering of v2(pT)
  • ?Radial flow effect, not mass effect.
  • ?Need QGP to get large integrated v2. Need
    hadronic rescattering to get correct mass
    ordering.
  • Violation of mass ordering for phi mesons
  • ?Clear signal to see this scenario
  • ?Can serve a direct information of the QGP

For cross sections without exp. data,
Expected to be very small for phi, Omega, etc.

Hadronic Dissipation Suppresses Differential
Elliptic Flow
Difference comes from dissipation only in the
hadron phase
  • Relevant parameter Gs/t
  • Teaney(03)
  • Dissipative effect is not so
  • large due to small expansion
  • rate (1/tau 0.05-0.1 fm-1)

Caveat Chemically frozen hadronic fluid is
essential in differential elliptic flow. (TH and
M.Gyulassy (06))

Excitation Function of v2
  • Hadronic Dissipation
  • is huge at SPS.
  • still affects v2 at RHIC.
  • is almost negligible at LHC.
