Let’s start with NA50 J/y
Precise re-analysis of p-A data
s scaling, kinematical domain, neutron halo, … sabs(J/y) = 4.18 ± 0.35 mb sabs(y’) = 7.6 ± 1.1 mb
Why sabs ? Why not Aa ?

e – sabs = intuitive if J/y disappearance in an absorbing medium. May depend on s !!
sabs
Combination of energy loss of the initial parton + J/y « absorption » in nuclear matter Doesn’t seem to play a Energy loss of initial gluon: role at NA50 Xf, Depends on Xf otherwise would be Less important at RHIC seen on the

Anomalous suppression !
Even if they fit NA50 data Onset in the range 80 < Npart < 100 Not reproduced by models Even if they fit NA50 data

What is the relevant variable ?
There is NO unique universal variable
Depends on what you want to show e.g. : anomalous suppression is NOT an absorption by nuclear matter
More tricky if you need to compare different s !!! e.g. e allows comparisons
L
or L don’t

pure geometry
« Review of electromagnetic probes », OD @ Quark Matter ’05, Budapest, Aug. 08, 2005
What is the relevant variable ?
So, in principle we should:
Calculate all the effects that might change with s Subtract them or plot them on top of the data for comparison Plot the result vs the variable corresponding to the effect you want to test/rule out
But these variables are model dependent
& experiment dependent = nobody else than the experiment can calulate these quantities

SPS -> RHIC
Charm and charmonium cross-sections
J. Dunlop
Opens the door for cc recombination into J/y N(cc) up to 40 in a central Au+Au collision !

Open charm measurements @ SPS ?
The « intermediate mass dilepton » puzzle @ SPS:
Is there an enhancement of charm, or charm-like contribution ?
Dimuon weighted offsets in NA60 R. Shahoyan, 5b
For now, not enough precision to measure charm crosssection …
« Review of electromagnetic probes », OD @ Quark Matter ’05, Budapest, Aug. 08, 2005 14
The answer is : NO, the excess exists, but it’s PROMPT
Open charm @ RHIC
Open charm is measured by
Single « non-photonic » electrons in PHENIX and STAR Direct D->kp in STAR (see H. Zhang, 5c)
S. Butsyk, 5a
J. Dunlop
Limited PT domain « binary scaling » = as Ncoll MORE PRECISION NEEDED !

Charm @ RHIC : high PT suppression
Nuclear modification factor (S. Butsyk, 5a, J. Bielcik, 5c)
For more details, see J. Bielcik this afternoon
See talk by X. Dong
J. Dunlop
Djordjevic et al, nucl-th/0507019
High PT suppression does not change charm yields
« Review of electromagnetic probes », OD @ Quark Matter ’05, Budapest, Aug. 08, 2005 16
Charm @ RHIC : Flow !
Charmed particles have a large V2 at RHIC !
Charm « quenching » and V2 were not expected
Hard process -> no flow
Influence of light quark flow ?
Higher quark mass -> less gluon radiation (’’dead cone effect’’)
e.g. : Y. L. Dokshitzer & D.E. Kharzeev, Phys.Lett.B519(2001)199-206

J/y in PHENIX
Tempting to plot NA50 points on top of this, isn’t it ?
Well … interesting but …
Meaning of Npart when s * 10 ? NA50 points normalized to p+p
What if sabs different ? Shadowing ?
H.Pereira Da Costa, 6b
Better : compare to absorption + shadowing
Suppression = 35 to 40 % wrt to sabs = 3mb (overestimated) ~ equivalent to NA50
Need better reference !!!
« Review of electromagnetic probes », OD @ Quark Matter ’05, Budapest, Aug. 08, 2005 21
J/y in PHENIX
Models:
The models « which fit NA50 data » overestimate the suppression
Regeneration needed ???
MAYBE, but
These models DO NOT fit NA60 ! Comovers severely underestimate suppression in In+In Rapp & Grandchamp doesn’t saturate as seen in the data
Only Satz fits the end of the plateau with Xc suppression only.
NO direct J/y suppression ?
See talk by M. Nardi

J/y ?
Would be consistent with recent lattice QCD calculations

- recombinations ? c-c
It seems that these models can reproduce the data, when they turn on the recombination process
Consequences on the other variables ?
« Review of electromagnetic probes », OD @ Quark Matter ’05, Budapest, Aug. 08, 2005 23
Rapidity distributions
Rapidity distribution of recombined J/y is supposed to be peaked at y=0 (e.g. R.L. Thews & al., nucl-th/0505055)
True IF charm distribution ~ J/y in p+p !
p+p data mainly « off-diagonal » « diagonal »
pQCD, adjust
But Au+Au charm rapidity distributions might be very flat !
H.Pereira Da Costa, 6b « Review of electromagnetic probes », OD @ Quark Matter ’05, Budapest, Aug. 08, 2005 24
Rapidity distributions
Comparing charm cross-sections in PHENIX central and muons arms:
Au+Au charm rapidity distributions might be very flat in Au+Au !
Just an indication, because of the limited PT domain See talk by Y. Kwon, 5c this afternoon !
PHENIX PRELIMINARY
If flat distribution of charm production :
Lowers charm density -> less regeneration Rapidity distribution of regenerated less peaked at 0
« Review of electromagnetic probes », OD @ Quark Matter ’05, Budapest, Aug. 08, 2005 25
PT distributions ?
PT distribution of recombined J/y is very narrow (R.L. Thews & al., nucl-th/0505055)
mainly « off-diagonal » « diagonal » Without
With
Leads to a drastic reduction H.Pereira Da Costa, 6b of in case of recombination BUT calculated from p+p and d+Au (via )
Large error bars Need for more p (or d) + A data !! (e.g. p+p to d+Au in e±)
« Review of electromagnetic probes », OD @ Quark Matter ’05, Budapest, Aug. 08, 2005
26
PT distributions ? Back to SPS
NA50 suppression at low PT …
Compatible with high PT charm pairs escaping the hot region before forming the J/y
The same mechanism at RHIC would lead to an increase of Very different from regeneration Low PT pairs cannot form a J/y
High PT pairs can escape
At RHIC, much higher than at sps, but plasma longer lived. What is the net result for J/y ?

« Review of electromagnetic probes », OD @ Quark Matter ’05, Budapest, Aug. 08, 2005
Is there a J/y flow ?
Charm flows recombined J/y must flow ! Directly produced J/y shouldn’t flow but suppression might be stronger out of reaction plane (as for Jets) …
Can simulate some flow for surviving J/y ?
Regenerated J/y should lie on this curve V2/2 vs PT/2 !
solid: STAR open: PHENIX PRL91(03)
Comovers should be more active in-plane
those J/y which survive interactions with comovers would have a negative V2 ????

Conclusion (1)
A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL NEW DATA ! SPS :
CERES excess confirmed by NA60 Intermediate mass excess in dimuon spectra confirmed by NA60
IT IS NOT OPEN CHARM, it’s prompt
NA50 has re-analyzed p+A reference Anomalous J/y suppression confirmed by NA60 in In+In
RHIC
Direct photons at low PT from PHENIX, consistent with thermal emission Open charm is suppressed at high PT Significant flow observed for open charm J/y suppression is seen by PHENIX, not stronger than in NA50 Models without recombination of charm quarks are unable to account for the data
« Review of electromagnetic probes », OD @ Quark Matter ’05, Budapest, Aug. 08, 2005
29
Conclusion (2)
WE MUST TAKE SOME TIME, Interpreting J/y suppression is a tricky thing
Reproduce ALL SPS data Extrapolate to RHIC
Shadowing Normal absorption Measured flow Measured Y and PT distributions
THEN ONLY compare to RHIC data
We need GOOD REFERENCES !
p+A @ SPS (NA50, NA60 to be analyzed) p+A or d+A at RHIC
We need good statistics + several systems !!!!
