Quarkonia’s suppression patterns
QGP thermometer
For the production at RHIC co-mover absorption negligible recombination negligible at RHIC rare rate -> need large
acceptance and efficient trigger
At RHIC energy (1S) no melting (2S) likely to melt (3S) melts
STAR is a powerful detector to measure

It’s a good opportunity to measure in this
high luminosity and low material d+Au run

STAR detector for measurement
• BEMC
• Acceptance: || < 1 , 0 < < 2• eID (E/p)
• High-energy tower trigger =>essential for the luminosity limited measurement
• TPC
• Acceptance: || < 1 , 0 < < 2• Tracking => momentum
• eID (ionization energy loss, dEdx)
e+ + e-

STAR trigger (BEMC L0+L2)
L0 (hardware) Accepting high energy tower of
ET>4.3 GeV L2 (software)
Select high energy tower cluster pair with E1>4.5 && E2>3.0 GeV
Loose cut on cosθ (θis the 3D opening angle)
Cut on mee=√2E1E2(1-cosθ)
charged tracksLarge acceptance BEMC L0+L2 trigger is a great di-electron trigger for luminosity limited
measurements

Electron ID with TPC+BEMC
1. Use TPC for charged tracks selection2. trigger enhances electrons 3. Use EMC for hadron rejection4. Electrons identified by dE/dx
ionization energy loss in TPC

signal in d+Au 200 GeV collisions
Signal + Background unlike-sign electron pairs Background like-sign electron pairs (1S+2S+3S) total yield: integrated from 7 to 11
GeV from background-subtracted mee distribution 172 +/- 20 (stat.) Strong signal (8σ significance)

Summary and outlook First midrapidity measurement of ++→e+e-
cross section at RHIC in d+Au collisions at √s=200 GeV Sigal significance : 8σ Bee×(dσ/dy)y=0=35±4(stat.)nb RdAu =0.98±0.33 ; Rcp =1.15±0.40 The cross section in dAu follows Nbin scaling The RAA calculation is in progress
STAR is a powerful detector to measure Large acceptance TPC+EMC Efficient trigger (L0+L2)
measurements in the future cross section in p+p 500 GeV RHIC II – high luminosity will allow separation of 1S,
2S, 3S states
