Baryon enhancement at high pt
Baryon enhancement at high pt
where does the large proton over pion ratio at high pt come from?
Why do mesons differ from hadrons?
• For pt>2 GeV, protons are as abundant as pions and kaons!
• hadron production via fragmentation yields p/π ratio of ~0.1

The recombination ideaThe recombination idea
basic assumptions:
• at low pt, quarks and antiquarks recombine into hadrons on a hadronization hypersurface:
• hadron momentum P is much larger than masses and momentum scales of the wave function of the hadron; features of the parton spectrum are shifted to higher pt
in the hadron spectrum
• parton spectrum has thermal part (effective quarks) and a power law tail (quarks and gluons) from pQCD.

• choose a hypersurface Σ for hadronization
• use local light cone coordinates (hadron defining the + axis)
• wa(r,p): single particle distribution functions for quarks at hadronization
• ФM & ФB: light-cone wave-functions for the meson & baryon respectively
• x, x’ & (1-x): momentum fractions carried by the quarks

Recombination + Fragmentation
• Fragmentation of perturbative partons dominates at high pt.
• Recombination kicks in at 4-6 GeV at RHIC energies.
• Our description of recombination fails when /PT and m/PT corrections become large (from 1-2 GeV on at RHIC).
• But: recombination will still be the dominant hadronization mechanism. Take into account binding energies, mass effects.

Input and Parameters IInput and Parameters I
Input for the model is the momentum distributions of constituent quarks and anti-quarks at the time of hadronization
• the quark distribution is assumed to have a low pt thermal component and a high pt pQCD mini-jet component
• the thermal component is parameterized as:
with a flavor dependent fugacity ga, temperature T,
rapidity width Δ and transverse distribution f(ρ,ф).
• the pQCD component is parameterized as:
with parameters C, B and β taken from a lo pQCD calculation

Summary & Outlook
Summary & Outlook
The Recombination + Fragmentation Model:• provides a natural solution to the baryon puzzle at RHIC
• describes the intermediate and high pt range of hadron ratios & spectra jet-quenching phenomena elliptic flow
• provides a microscopic basis for the Statistical Model• One universal parametrization of the parton phase can explain the data!
• v2: proof of collectivity in the parton phase
issues to be addressed in the future:• entropy & energy• resonances and influence of the hadronic phase• need improved data of identified hadrons at high pt
