Overview
1. Introduction:
- Study of QCD media (QGP, CGC) via hard scattering processes.
2. High pT results (Au+Au vs. p+p):
- dN/dpT (light quarks u,d,s):
- - Suppression of hadron spectra: pT, s, centrality, & rapidity dependence.
- - “Anomalous” hadron composition (pT = 2 – 4 GeV/c): baryon enhancement.
- dN/dpT (heavy quark: c): Unsuppressed open charm spectra.
- dNpair/dφ azimuthal anisotropies:
- - Strong collective behaviour: large elliptic flow.
- - Disappearance of jet signals: reduced away-side dijet correlations.
4. High pT results in d+Au ("control" experiment):
- dN/dpT:
- - “Cronin-like” enhancement at y = 0, and suppression at y ≈ 3.
- - pT, centrality, and particle species dependence.
- dNpair/dφ: jet-like azimuthal anisotropies.
