  5. Trigger and Operation K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • Synchronous operation with LHC at 25 ns periodic beam clock • Typical minimum bias trigger: • p+p: V0A | V0C | SPD • At least one charged particle in of 8 • Pb+Pb: two out of V0A, V0C, SPD • Always gated with 25 ns beamclock, according to fill scheme • Backgrounds • after glow = long-lived radiation • may become problem at50 ns bunch spacing(number of bunches will increasefrom ~300 to ~3000) • beam-gas (vacuum is very good) • in Pb+Pb, electro-magnetic events ( few 10 b or more of cross section)

  12. p+p Data: Some Terminology Drawing by TorbjörnSjöstrand, MCnet school, 2008. p p P p M K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • Events are categorized to different types which have characteristic differences in rapidity space distribution • Elastic • Single-diffractive (SD) • Double-diffractive (DD) • Non-diffractive (ND) • Not easy to split all of them • Detector dependent • ALICE compared two classes • INEL: inelastic … sum of all inelastic (ND+SD+DD) • Essentially all events triggered by either SPD or V0A or V0C • NSD: non-single-diffractive … ND and DD only, suppressed SD • Essentially it is required that BOTH V0A and V0C have particles

  13. Comparing p+p and Pb+Pb Participants scaling Binary collision scaling peripheral b = large central b = small Each nucleon collides “all” nucleons of the other nuclei Number of collisions max : >1000 in Pb+Pb depends on nucleon density AND N+N cross section Number of participants max : 2A depends on nucleon density K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • Pb+Pb is considered as “super-position” of p+p events? • If so, scaling factor may exist at given impact parameter

  14. Centrality peripheral (large b) arXiv:1012.1657v1 [nucl-ex] most central (small b) K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • Impact parameter is not directly measured • centrality as “fractional “ cross section • experiment oriented • Glauber model (Wood-Saxon density distribution) is used to fit the data • Nuclear modification factor (definition) • This is calculated for each centrality class using Glauber model

  15. p+p Charged Multiplicity K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • using Pixel at 1.4 • Larger than often used models • Basis of everything from now • One of the important global property constrains phenomenological models

  16. Multiplicity Distribution in p+p 7 TeV K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe Higher multiplicity events are much more enhanced compare to PHOJET etc (factpor 10 at Nch=60)

  17. Pb+Pb Charged Multiplicity M.C. shadowing saturation K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • First fast measurement immediately after the first collisions • 160076 (syst.) • growth with faster in AA than pp • Expected energy density of a created matter (naively) • … x3 of RHIC assuming the same (lower limit?)

  18. Centrality Dependence K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • Normalized to nuclear overlap volume • The shape of dependence is almost exactly the same as the one of lower energy (RHIC 0.2 TeV) • No model well describe the trend • Important constraint for models

  19. Spectra at 0.9 TeVp+p K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • Harder spectra at high Nchevents • Basic data for all following analysis and input for models • no model so far reproduce well especially at high- • establishing soft-production at LHC

  21. Elliptic Flow of Charged Particles 30 % larger observedcompare to RHIC Harder shape strong partonic pressuregradients? • Spatial non-uniformity  phase space • Fourier components of particle spectrum • : elliptic flow … maximum at  evidence of the thermalized liquid like system K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe

  23. pp Pb Shoulders PHENIX PRL 98, 232302 (2007) PbPbcentral ALICE performance v2 flow to be subtracted K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • Discovery at RHIC • correlation peak not at but • Positions and shape don’t depend on or collision system (centrality, Npart) • Similar not “yet” seen in ALICE but same situation as PHENIX before flow subtraction

  24. Ridge STAR PRC 80 (2009) 64912 K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • direction correlationobserved at RHIC • At intermediate pT (1~4 GeV/c) and up to • CMS found too, even in p+p • Striking effect. Possible explanations is unclear • CGC initial state (color flux tubes)?

  25. ALICE’s Case PbPb peripheral PbPb central K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • Indeed, the ridge is seen in central Pb+Pb collisions • but not in 80-90% perhiperal

  26. Initial State Fluctuations? single ev 1000 evavg K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • Takahashi et al Phys Rev Lett 103, 242301 (2009) • Broken symmetry initial tate • No parton to medium coupling is required • Both shoulder and ridge like structures are reproduced • Unclear yet if it fits with thte rest

  27. Femtoscopy Results for 0.9 TeVp+p Phys. Rev. D82, 052001 (2010) K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • System size grow with multiplicity (), same trends as world’s trend however to be careful • acceptance, analysis methods are very different • at large , mini-jet effect is a large systematic (treated in ALICE) • No (pair momentum) dependence in p+p but in Pb+Pb

  28. Dependence at 7 TeVp+p Seen? K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe Much higher statistics Under collaboration review No large dependence dependence significant in

  29. Femtoscopy Results for 7 TeV Phys. Rev. D82, 052001 (2010) K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • HBT Quantum correlation • Flow and jets as underlying effect • scaling • ALICE p+p grow linearly toohowever with different slope • p+p (high mult) is probably qualitatively different from Au+Au peripheral • Statistics much higher • System size grow with multiplicity • same trends as world’s trend • p+p A+A (peripheral) !

  32. ‘near’ side pTt ALICE preliminary ‘away’ side UE Trigger Particle (Di-)Jet Fragmentations and leading K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • Leading particle ~ jet thrust • Near side (intra-jet) “Single” jet properties • Away side (inter-jet): Di-jet, hard scattering properties () • … avg. transverse momentum of jet fragments relative to jet axis • Independent of trigger particle pT • Independent of collision energy

  42. Summary and Future Plan K. Oyama, Heavy Ion Cafe • ALICE at LHC has started and successfully took first p+p and Pb+Pb data • Already at p+p, many questions came up • Some basic comparisons already done and already many things (re-) discovered (strong jet quenching, much larger size, etc) • Plenty of new analysis will come soon! • ALICE Plan in Future • Another 7 TeV run: if everything goes well, already next week • LHC luminosity goes up to 1033 [cm-2s-1] (factor 5 more of 2010) • ATLAS/CMS collect 5 /fb(too see < pb stuff)  discovery year? • ALICE collects 2 /pb data accumulation (factor 30 or more of 2010) • Short reference p+p run for Pb+Pb • Pb+Pb with much higher luminosity (few kHz which is factor 10 more) • 2012 we might have p+Pb run
