Title: KANETA, Masashi


1
p0 v2 analysisin ?sNN 200GeV AuAu collisions
  • KANETA, Masashi
  • for the PHENIX Collaboration
  • RIKEN-BNL Research Center

2
Why Event Anisotropy?
  • Because of sensitive to collision geometry
  • In low pT (lt2 GeV/c)
  • Pressure gradient of early stage
  • Hydrodynamical picture is established
  • In high pT (gt2 GeV/c)
  • Energy loss in dense medium (Jet Quenching)
  • Partonic flow(?)

Here we focus on ellipticity of
azimuthal momentum distribution, v2 (second
Fourier coefficient)
3
Method of p0 v2 Measurement
  • Define reaction plane by charged multiplicity on
    Beam-Beam Counters
  • p0 reconstruction from gamma measured by
    Electro-Magnetic Calorimeter (EMC)
  • For each pT, azimuthal angle, centrality
  • Combine both information
  • Counting number of p0 as a function of

event anisotropy parameter measured
reaction plane angle
azimuthal angle of the particle
vnreal vnmeasured/ (reaction plane resolution)n
Note the detail of reaction plane definition
will be found in nucl-ex/0305013

PHENIX experiment
  • Lead Scintillator and Lead Glass EMCs
  • Gamma measurement (p0?gg)
  • BBCs and ZDCs
  • Collision centrality determination
  • BBCs
  • Reaction plane determination and
  • Its resolution correction

The charged p and K v2 are shown only with
statistical errors
  • Charged pK v2 consistent with p0 v2 in pTlt4GeV/c

Summary
  • First measurement of p0 v2 at RHIC
  • In pT1-10 GeV/c
  • Charged pK v2 consistent with p0 v2
  • In pT1-4GeV/c
  • Minimum bias data shows finite p0 v2
  • Up to pT8 GeV/c
  • RHIC run4 AuAu, it will be
  • Much more statistics
  • Detail study of v2 shape around pT2-4GeV/c
  • Much higher pT
  • We want to know where is end of finite v2 in very
    high pT
