Hungarian chronology and results in PHENIX

•Perfect fluids: analysing and understanding the observations

• Exact (i.e. not numerical) integrals of fluid dynamics

• Evidence for hydrodynamic scaling in RHIC data

• A fluid of quarks at RHIC

• Projected time schedule and manpower

• Future plans


PHENIX experiment at RHIC, BNL

PHENIX: Pioneering High ENergy eXperiment (high energy physics)

RHIC: Relativistic Heavy Ion (and polarized proton) Collider on Long Island, near New York, NY, USA

4 experiments, PHENIX is one of the two “big” RHIC Experiments

BNL: Brookhaven National Laboratory, one of the 10 National Labs funded by DOE

Goal of PHENIX/RHIC: to produce the matter that filled the Universe in a glimpse after the Big Bang

By colliding Au+Au @ Ecms(NN) = 200 GeV (also at 130 , 62.4 and 19.6 GeV)also Cu+Cu, polarized p+polarized p and d+Au collisions

Hungarian institutional participation in the PHENIX-Hungary sub-collaboration:

Debrecen University, Debrecen, Hungary

ELTE University, Budapest, Hungary

KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics, Budapest, Hungary

“RHIC has a bright future ... will likely survive the next decade” (~ 2020) (S. Aronson, BNL Director, Oct/3/06)

Approved Approved upgrades:upgrades:


PHENIX

• photons, electrons muons and hadrons

• Investigates all stages of the reaction

• Penetrating probes: early state of the reaction

• Hadrons


1st milestone: new phenomena

Suppression of high pt particle production in Au+Au collisions at RHIC


2nd milestone: new form of matter

d+Au: no suppression

Its not the nuclear effect

on the structure functions

Au+Au:

new form of matter !


3rd milestone: Top Physics Story 2005

Hungarian chronology in PHENIX


Cutting edge advantage: Extended MoU with PHENIX: no running cost!KFKI RMKI: 3 faculty + 1 studentELTE group: 1 faculty + 2 studentsDebrecen: 0 faculty + 1 visiting prof + 2 grad. students + 2 othersPHENIX: production mode, exciting live physicsin both cases: theoretical activity, desire to understand results.

Unique nature of the group: students are trained both in theoryand in experiment and have to be able to prepare papers in both.2006: fundraising2007-2011: PHENIX data taking shifts, data analysisPHENIX upgrades: interested but no funds for thisElectronics, PHENIX DAQ: sameData production: sameSoftware infrastructure and analysis: PHENIX-Hungary cluster

38 CPU-s, used for simulations in Global/Hadron PWG, PPG05Shortage of funds in Hungary (OTKA/government budget problem):

limits manpower, most serious riskUpgrade plans for PHENIX-Hu: computing+grid, proposals submitted

PHENIX Hungary and summary of contributions:

12 Hungarian authors and three Hu Institutions on PHENIX review paper (White Paper, Nucl, Phys, A (2005). By now:

SLAC Spires famous paper, AIP Top Physics Story in 2005

Debrecen University (mentor prof. P. Raics):

Dávid Gábor (BNL/Debrecen) founder of the group, 1996- . Founding member of PHENIX: design, fund raising, construction, operation, data taking and analysis. Important discovery: suppression of high pt 0 production in central Au+Au collisions (2001). Cover page of PRL and top-cited paper at RHIC. In the control experiment d+Au the suppression of high pt particle production is not seen (2003), hence new form of matter is created in Au+Au collisions at RHIC.

Author of several analysis notes, group leader in PHENIX. Visited Hungary during his holidays, at various times on his budget. Trained several Debrecen students who contributed significantly to EMCal related observations in PHENIX. A need for local PHENIX team leader .
