The HPC Manifesto H.Satz & X.-N. Wang: Int. J. Mod. Physics A 10 (1995) 2881
For viable collision studies, at least part of the interaction must be accessible to a perturbative treatment, and this assigns a very special role to hard processes in hadronic interactions.
The quark-gluon plasma, predicted by statistical QCD, consists of deconfined quarks and gluons of high density. To check if the early phases of nuclear collisions have, indeed, produced such a plasma, sufficiently hard probes are needed to resolve the short distance nature of the medium.
In order to use them for this purpose, we should first understand the basic process, in the absence of a medium, and then check what modifications each basic process experiences in confined hadronic matter. After these two “normalization” steps, we would be prepared to look for parton deconfinement.

Why am I Giving this Lecture? Mutual observation: There is no canonical introduction to
a “RHIC talk” as opposed to a typical (insert your favorite facility) talk.
General truism: No one who has a significant history in a field can give an unbiased, meaningful introduction. This is my first Hard Probes meeting …
I am a member of the IAC for Hard Probes 2004. I bribed Carlos Lourenço. I forgot to bribe Carlos Lourenço. I thought the meeting would be held in September. I accepted the invitation without thinking very clearly.

The Curse of Bounty
There’s much too much material for a single lecture (or even two or three!)
Thus the HPC material needed to be distilled.
You all are the judges whether it is “moonshine”
Or single malt Scotch whisky…

Why Hard Probes?
Probes generated by hard QCD processes are calculable perturbatively, in a controlled manner.
Their modification by the hot medium created in heavy ion collisions can be utilized to determine medium properties.
Penetrating (EM) probes emitted by the hot medium itself are also calculable and can be used to measure its state and properties.

What Are Hard Probes?
The hard processes of interest in HI collisions are: Prompt photons (Drell-Yan) lepton pairs Hadrons with open charm or beauty Heavy quarkonia ( or ) Hard jets and hadrons at large pT
The classic hard probe: deep-inelastic lepton scattering Theoretically best understood and experimentally most
explored hard QCD process – original motivation for QCD Source of parton distribution functions Test-bed of theoretical concepts and approaches

Factorization in pQCD
Ability to factorize scattering cross sections into pQCD calculable parton scattering processes and measured, nonperturbative parton distribution or fragmentation functions is encoded in factorization theorems.
For ph mh, f(h→p) can only be a function of x = p/ph: Bjorken scaling.
Similarly, D(p’→h’) can only depend on z = ph’/p’.
In QCD, naïve scaling is modified by scaling violations due to higher order corrections, which depend on the resolution scale Q2.

Higher Twist Effects
Higher twist corresponds to parton interactions beyond a hard scattering vertex, i.e. initial- and final-state inter-actions, which cannot be described as nuclear modi-fications of the pdf’s.
H.T. processes can also be factorized like L.T., but with new higher-twist pdf’s.
H.T effects can be large in processes, which are small at the L.T. level, e.g. DY pairs with pT ~ M.

kT Factorization
Standard “collinear” QCD factorization, combined with DGLAP evolution allows to resum contributions ~ [s ln(Q2/2)]n.
At small x and moderately large Q2, it may be more important to resum contributions ~ [s ln(1/x)]n. This is achieved by the kT factorization scheme with LO amplitudes.
Especially useful to to describe gluon saturation effects (CGC).
Presently not known how to generalize to NLO calculations.

Quarkonium Production
Color “evaporation” model: Assumes that heavy quark pair is produced in any spin & color
state, s/c quantum numbers are “evaporated” by exchange of soft gluons with surrounding color field.
Typical fit values F and F lie in range 0.01 – 0.02.
NRQCD approach: Factorizes quarkonium production into pQCD production in a
specific s/c channel and a nonperturbative matrix element for the (QQ)s/c component in the quarkonium wave function.

pT Broadening
Elastic scattering of incoming or outgoing partons on nuclear gluons leads to broadening of parton pT distribution.
Multiple scattering can be described as random walk in pT.

What Does Jet Quenching Probe? pQCD predicts energy loss as
function of energy density and s: dE/dx ~ [s(2)]3. But what is the relevant value of s ? Full NLO calculation would help!
Present formalism allows for E > E. Reweighting procedure is a “poor man’s solution”.
Is a full description of jet quenching as a medium modification of D(z) including recombination possible?
If we know from E, and the bound on the entropy density from dN/dy, can we set a bound on the degrees of freedom?

From Hadrons to Jets
LHC will make jet observables accessible.

Hard Probes in A+A: Heavy Quarks Heavy quarkonium yield as “thermometer” for the QGP:
Can one distinguish disappearance due to color screening from destruction by gluon absorption or scattering?
Can HQET be used to develop a theory of quarkonium formation and propagation in matter, similar to energy loss theory?
Can heavy quark recombination be calculated reliably?
Heavy quark energy loss: Is open charm / beauty production influenced by environment? Can one derive a systematic transport theory for heavy quarks
within hydrodynamically evolving quark-gluon matter?

Hard Probes in A+A: Lepton Pairs DY pairs as normalization for J/ and .
Any nuclear modifications need to be well understood, but none was seen in yield at the SPS.
High-pT, low-mass pairs as surrogate for photons. Especially of interest in fixed target experiments.
Thermal dileptons from the QGP and probes of hadron in-medium modifications. Do we really learn about chiral symmetry restoration?
DY pairs with pT ≈ M as probes of higher-twist effects. Ideally done in pA collisions.

Outlook
The era of hard probes in heavy ion collisions has just begun: RHIC, LHC, RHIC-II will let hard probes blossom.
HPC documents serve as important foundation, but much work needs to be done: Complete LO, LT calculations of medium effects NLO calculations for selected probes, especially jet quenching
What exactly do the hard probes tell us about the properties of the medium? Can the medium effects on hard probes be encoded in well
defined quantities or matrix elements? Which hard probes probe, e.g., deconfinement?
