1.2 Current Status: Towards QGP Discovery

• So far: RHIC observables ↔ bulk properties of the produced matter:

- energy density ≈20GeVfm-3 ↔ jet quenching (high-pt) - thermalization + EoS ↔ hydrodynamics (v0,v2)

- partonic degrees of freedom ↔ coalescence (p/, v2-scal)

• Future: need to understand microscopic properties (phase transition, “QGP” !?):

- Deconfinement ↔ quarkonia (J/, , …) - Chiral Symmetry Restoration ↔ dileptons ( - temperature ↔ photons )

5. Conclusions

• Hadronic Many-Body Theory can provide:

- valuable insights into hadron properties in medium - understanding of observables in nuclear reactions

• The physics is often in the width (exception: e.g. “”)

• Interpretations?

- many spectral properties appear to vary smoothly- connections to phase transition to be established- need nonperturbative symmetry-conserving approach, e.g. selfconsistent -derivable thermodyn. potential

3.3 Light Hadrons in QGP

• “Resonance” matter at 1-2Tc?! - EoS can be ok [Shuryak+Zahed’04]

• assess formation rates from inelastic reactions (as in charmonium case): q+q ↔ “”+X , etc.

• solve (coupled) rate equations

• accounts for energy conservation, no “sudden” approximation -formation more reliable

To be resolved:• quark masses are not “constituent”:

• role of gluons? (not really heavier than quarks…) , …
