K-/K+ and antihyperon/hyperon

K-/K+ = exp((2s - 2u,d)/T)pbar/p = exp(-6u,d/T)s=0 K-/K+ = (pbar/p)1/3

Fit shows that K-/K+ = (pbar/p)1/4

s= ¼ u,d

hyperons?Hbar/H = (pbar/p)3/4 for Lambdas = (pbar/p)1/2 for Xis = (pbar/p)1/4 for Omegas


BRAHMS

Statistical model and s vserus u,d

Fits with statistical model provide similar u,d/s ratio with weak dependency on y.

This result is consistent with local net-strangeness conservation red line - s = 0black line – fit to BRAHMS data

RdAu and RAA for anti-protons and pions @200

• suppression for - but stronger for AuAu• both RdA and RAA show enhancement for p-bar

Nuclear modification factors (RCP, RAuAu) for p,K,p at y~3.1

• RAuAu ≠ Rcp (<Ncoll>,<Npart> for 40-60% ~ 70,56)

... more on RAA rapidity dependence

•Similar level of suppresion for central collisions•At forward rapidity RAA shows stronger rise towards peripheral coll. (surface -> volume emmission)Looking for scaling: dN/d ?

BE: = 3/2 (<Et>/ S0) dNch/d S is transwers area of overlaping region <Et> dirived from and K spectra

Is the energy density the only parameter that controls RAA?

New pp data @62GeV will allow for various comparisions at the same rapidities

Strong energy absorption model from a static 2D matter source. (Insprired by A.Dainese (Eur.Phys.J C33,495) and A.Dainese , C.Loizides and G.Paic (hep-ph/0406201) )

• Parton spectrum using pp reference spectrum• Parton energy loss E ~ q.L**2• q adjusted to give observed RAA at ~1.

The change in dN/d will result in slowly rising RAA .

The modification of reference pp spectrum causes the RAA to be approximately constant as function of .

34


BRAHMS

Summary Large hadron multiplicities Almost a factor of 2 higher than at SPS energy( higher ) Much higher than pp scaled results( medium effects)

p/ show strong dependency for given energy depend only on Npar

High-pT

suppression increases with energy for given centrality bin weak dependency on rapidity of RAA which is consistent with surface jet emission RCP can hide or enhance nuclear effects At y=3.2 RAA shows larger suppression than RdA

Identified hadron spectra Good description by statistical model Large transverse flow consistent with high initial density

v2(pt) is seem to not depend on rapidity
