RHIC: What we don’t know a priori
• The nature (order) of the transition between hadronic matter and QGP
• The transition temperature Tc
• The equation of state (at < Tc- 5 Tc )
• The transport properties of the QGP • Behavior of bound states (onia) in the
QGP• Collective excitations• The process of hadronization• The process of thermalization

HotQCD Collaboration: A unique US wide opportunity for simulating QCD at finite temperature using the BlueGene L Supercomputer at LLNL
![Page 4: The QCD transition temperature from simulations on BlueGene L supercomputer at LLNL](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/568147a3550346895db4da1e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Timeline• Developed collaboration with Ron Soltz and formulated
project for Blue Gene L at LLNL (Nov-Dec 2005)
• Organized US wide meeting to explore doing RHIC phenomenology and Lattice QCD at LLNL (Feb 06)
• Developed white paper for calculation of Tc and EOS on
the Blue Gene L (Feb – May 06)
• Got NNSA approval to run on Blue Gene L ( July 06)
• Ported Asqtad and p4fat codes to Blue Gene L (Sept 06)
• Started NT=8 lattice QCD simulations (Oct 06)
• Continual code Optimization
• ~10,000 trajectories simulated at 15 for AsqTad & p4

Restrictive Environment
• Only T. Luu, R. Soltz and R. Gupta can access the machine or the data
• Minimal data can be brought into open– Print results in ASCI or print figures– Declassify– Scan to convert to digital for distribution
Blue Gene L at LLNL represents a 4-6 Teraflops sustained resource

HotQCD Collaboration: Goals
• Nature of the transition– Do deconfinement and S restoration “coincide”?
• Transition temperature Tc
• Equation of State (EOS) at (=0, 0)
• Spectral Functions
• Spatial and temporal correlators versus T
• Transport coefficients of the quark gluon plasma
![Page 7: The QCD transition temperature from simulations on BlueGene L supercomputer at LLNL](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/568147a3550346895db4da1e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Order of the transitions and Tc
• Look for discontinuities, singularities, peaks in thermodynamics quantities– Polyakov line and its susceptibility
– Chiral condensate and its susceptibility
– Quark number and its susceptibility
• Finite size scaling analysis (1st versus 2nd)€

Issues with previous calculations 2005
• Calculations on coarse lattices: NT=4,6 and/or small volumes. (a ~ 0.2- 0.13 fermi). – Simulate NT=4,6,8, … and do a0 extrapolation
• Tc with different actions (different observables) differ by ~ 20 MeV– Reduce uncertainty to ~ 5 MeV if unique transition
• Need simulations with 2+1 flavors with realistic light (up, down) quark masses holding strange quark mass fixed– Mud / ms = 0.5, 0.2, 0.1 (physical ~ 0.04)
• Staggered fermions (detM1/4): Talks by Creutz/Kronfeld

Reliable continuum limit results 2007
• Control discretization errors (compare 2 different improved staggered actions)– Asqtad Staggered (MILC collaboration)
– p4 staggered (RBC-Bielefeld collaboration)
– Explore Domain wall fermions
• New simulations at NT=8 with 2+1 flavors (mlight 0.1 ms)
• Combine with ongoing/previous NT = 4,6 simulations to perform a0 extrapolation
• Precise determination of lattice scale
