Disclaimer
• Before to claim for anomalous suppression, one has to check for normal suppression
• Cold nuclear effects on heavy flavours are so important to understand J/ψ in AA collisions…
• …that most of my talk was covered by Alex, Taku and others yesterday!
• Thus, you could have slept half an hour more…• But let me try to wake you up…

Outline: go through experimental programs and observed cold effects
@SPS (20 GeV): many pA ! High statistics ! But small kinematics (–0.1 < xF < +0.1) Nuclear absorption
@FNAL, HERA (30 GeV): less pA… High statistics ! Large rapidity (xF) coverage… Many cold nuclear effects needed! But no AA…
@RHIC (200 GeV): only dAu, low statistics (for now), but 1. Rapidity (–2.2 to +2.4) Absorption + (anti)shadowing 2. Centrality dependence Data driven method3. Open charm, with large uncertaintiesBonus: a word about Cronin effect@LHC (5.5 TeV): likely to be as RHIC, only dPb to start with, large
rapidity coverage (three experiments)… Uncharted territory

Is σabs varying with √sNN?
• Theoretical arguments that it should decrease with √s– σabs= 0 @ RHIC, LHC
because tform >> tcross
• When comparing experiment, please beware of effects interplay– Same xF or same
shadowing scheme!• No firm conclusion…2008, October 8th Cold effects on heavy flavours - [email protected] 13

RHIC & rapidity dependence
Linking rapidity and shadowing…

The hot (burning) question…
• In AA collisions, is the higher J/ψ suppression seen at forward rapidity due to cold effects?– Otherwise, the hot
candidate is quark recombination
• The relevant plot – Need a 40% effect…

Linking rapidity & shadowing
• At RHIC, J/ mostly produced by gluon fusion, and thus sensitive to gluon pdf
• For example, in Phenix, rapidity probes different momentum fraction of Au gluons
– South (y < -1.2) : large X2 (in gold) ~ 0.090
– Central (y ~ 0) : intermediate X2 ~ 0.020
– North (y > 1.2) : small X2 (in gold) ~ 0.003

A complication : production mechanisms
• Cold effects depend on production mechanisms
• For instance :– g + g→ J/ψ (+ soft) giving
intrinsic pT (from initial gluons kT)
– g + g J/ψ + g giving extrinsic pT (balanced by gluon pT) and working well for pp
• Sample different xBjorken

Recent news from CGC
2008, October 8th Cold effects on heavy flavours - [email protected] 26
• Gluon saturation could further suppress forward J/ψ in AuAu– First numerical estimate– Absolute amount of
suppression is fitted to the AuAu data!
– Waiting forward to new dAu data to fit them first
– However, rapidity dependence should be ok
– But it fails to reproduce peripheral data
– Anyway…

LHC : another cold vs hot fight ?
• EKS vs EPS extrapolation vary by factors of 10 at LHC x’s ! And you need two gluons…
• Would be fun if regeneration takes over…

Conclusions
• Heavy flavour suffer from cold effects, which are quite unconstrained…
• Easier when they go in the opposite direction as the hot effects – e.g. for the jet quenching
• Let’s hope it will be the case for the J/ψ at LHC• But RHIC can still play:
– RHIC run8 : J/ψ, open charm, ψ’…– Silicon upgrades for open charm– I think a dCu run could be interesting too (ala SPS)
