Comparison of to LO pQCD (PYTHIA)
Starting point: PYTHIA v6.22 (MSEL1 – inelastic) First Tuning attempts:
K-factor (to account for higher order processes) Intrinsic kT of partons (to account for initial state gluon radiation)

• Default PYTHIA does not describe STAR data well• Tuned PYTHIA (K-factor=3) does a much better job for the kaons but still
has problems with the strange baryons

Comparison to NLO pQCD calculations NLO calculations for mesons using Kniehl et al.(KKP) fragmentation function
and generally reproduce the RHIC charged hadron data very well. For K0s the agreement is not as good as for charged hadrons Large discrepancies between NLO and data for strange baryons Octet-baryon fragmentation functions have been calculated by Bourrely & Soffer

Anti-Particle/Particle Ratios
Is there a hint of a sloping/-ratio vs pT ? HIJING predicts that an effect from gluon vs. quark jets should be seen at higher pT
STAR preliminarySTAR preliminary
XN. Wang, PRC58 (1998)
pQCD Hijing Prediction
Au+Au / p+p (no Energy loss)
Au+Au, with Energy loss 1 GeV/fm
These ratios are approaching unity and very similar to the ones measured in Au+Au→ nearly net-baryon free at mid-rapidity at this energy

<pT> systematics in p+p and Au+Au
<pT> of identified Particles have been measured in p+p and Au+Au over large mass range
STAR preliminarySTAR preliminary
Au+Au: mass-dependant contribution to <pT> from flow
p+p: mass dependence, but not from flow → <pT> mass dependence of minijet fragmentation ?
<pT> in p+p collisions for most massive particles is approaching the value in Au+Au Collisions !

Wang et al, Phys Rev D 45 (1992)
<pT> vs charged multiplicity (Nch)
STAR has measured <pT> vs charged multiplicity in p+p for several strange baryons and mesons
Increase of <pT> is evidence of more contribution from mini-jets fragmenting into strange particles in high multiplicity events

Azimuthal correlations with high-pt strange particles (Y.Guo/J.Bielcikova)
•Marginal statistics in p+p/d+Au (no final state effects)→ No significant dependance of associated yield vs trigger species•Central Au+Au → First hint of difference between +h and h+h

Current LO pQCD models (eg. PYTHIA) do not describe the STAR Current LO pQCD models (eg. PYTHIA) do not describe the STAR strangeness data without significant tuning of the parameters (K-strangeness data without significant tuning of the parameters (K-factor, intrinsic Kfactor, intrinsic KTT))
