What we know: RHIC What we know
System appears thermally and chemically equilibrated This happens early <2 fm/c
Energy density high >10 GeV/fm3
parton energy loss is large viscosity/entropy, η/s is low ( conjecture ~1/4π?) DOF ~ “quasi-quarks” ????
General picture is stable since ~ 2004 More data since QM 2005 More theory A clearer view
what is “quark soup” like?

How is the energy lost? The sQGP has enormous stopping power

cone” effect charm quark small energy loss

What about heavy quarks? (electrons from c and b)
Charm high pT suppression ~ light hadrons!!!
Problem – difficult to reconcile with gluon radiative energy loss
theorists have to go back to the drawing board
Large Energy loss of partons energy density far in excess of critical energy density

Explanation: Recombination – a hint at the DOF
Naively: recombine quasi-partons (“quasiquarks” – Gavai)
PT
baryons pT 3 pT
mesons pT 2 pT
+ Thermal “quark” spectrum
Large pbar/π
This implies that we begin in a “quasi-partonic” thermal system

Most things depend on Npart independent of species Why is J/ at y=0 different for Cu and Au? Corona? Might help in understanding suppression mechanism

Recombination predictions vs rapidity
Recombination ( Thews et al., nucl-th/0505055 ) predicts a narrower rapidity distribution with an increasing Npart.
Going from p+p to the most central Au+Au : no significant change seen in the shape of the rapidity distribution.
No recombinationAll recombination

RAA vs. pT in Au+Au/Cu+Cu
•Suppression of J/Y yield at low pT in both Au+Au and Cu+Cu.•High pT J/Y escape the medium? Leakage effect? [Phys. Lett. B 607 (2005)]
•Might one expect “pile up” at low pT for recombination+energy loss?

Questions What is the energy loss mechanism for hard quarks? Can we get a good measure of the initial temperature? Chiral Symmetry? Deconfinement? Any Clue? Is the CGC really the initial state for the sQGP Can we measure quantitatively the viscosity?
THEORY
More General Questions Do we understand why the interaction is so strong? Do we understand the DOF?
Interplay of theory and experiment – very important
both in the “CGC” and the “sQGP”
