1 Research Management Plan (RMP) for the STAR Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT) Version 4 March 31, 2009
2 1. Introduction This document describes the plans of a group of institutions within the STAR collaboration for the management of the research efforts connected with the construction and operation of the STAR Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT). In contrast to construction, research efforts are not funded by the HFT project but from the research funding of the individual groups involved in the HFT project. Research efforts include simulations of the detector performance, development and execution of calibration procedures for the detector, commissioning of the detector, development of analysis software, physics analysis and operation of the detector. This document is not part of the documents mandated by the Critical Decision process, like the Conceptual Design Report (CDR), and thus is different from those documents. It is also not the scope of this document to justify the physics case for the HFT. The physics justification is an ongoing process that has started with the HFT proposal for the Science Review 1 and that will be continued with the STAR response to the questions posed by the CD-0 review committee and with the CDR. This RMP addresses the activities of the participating institutions in the time between FY 09 and FY 14. FY 14 will be the first year of regular operation for the HFT. The physics activities listed for the individual institutions for FY 14 reflect the physics interest of those institutions and not necessarily the specific activities foreseen for the first year of HFT running. The HFT project is designed to give the STAR experiment the capability to identify charm hadrons through topological reconstruction down to low transverse momenta at mid-rapidity. The scope of the project is defined as building a new two layer silicon pixel detector close to the interaction point, to build a new Intermediate Silicon Tracker (IST), to upgrade the read-out of the existing Silicon Strip Detector (SSD) to be compatible with the STAR data acquisition speed, and to mount and suspend those detectors (including the Forward GEM Tracker, FGT, to be built as a separate construction project) with a new low-mass structure that will replace the existing STAR cone structure. 2. Research Goals At the HFT Science Review several physics objectives were presented. Not all of them were vetted by robust simulations. As a consequence the STAR collaboration was charged with the task to do further simulations with the goal to generate a list of robust observables and physics measurements that can be accomplished in the first years of HFT running. This list includes topics that will be presented as part of the answer to the questions by the CD0 review committee due by end of April This list includes: 1 C. Chasman et al., LBNL # , 2
3 D Thus D However, D (or Measure charm production cross sections in 200 and 500 GeV p+p collisions and in heavy ion collisions. Measure v 2 of charm mesons down to low p T in Au+Au collisions Measure R CP of charm mesons in Au+Au collisions The research milestones in this document are derived from the above list of physics topics. In parallel, the collaboration has initiated an effort to elevate additional physics topics to the same level of detail. Those topics are: Measure the meson to baryon ratio of charm at the example of D 0 /Λ C Separate charm and bottom production. Measure W production at mid-rapidity in 500 GeV p+p collisions. Detailed simulations to those topics will be presented in the CDR Charm Cross Sections Heavy quark production is sensitive to the parton distribution function. Unlike the light 2 quarks, heavy quark masses are not modified by the surrounding QCD mediumd the excitations of the QCD medium) and the value of their masses is much higher than the initial excitation of the system. It is these differences between light and heavy quarks in a medium that make heavy quarks an ideal probe to study the properties of the hot and dense medium created in high-energy nuclear collisions. Understanding the yield of charmed hadrons in hadron-hadron collisions requires a knowledge of the projectile and target parton distribution functions, the cross section for parton-parton interactions which generate charm quarks and the fragmentation functions for c(b) quarks into charmed (bottom) hadrons. The parton distributions within the proton can be extracted from electron-proton collisions while the cross-sections for gluon fusion and qq annihilation are calculated in a perturbative QCD framework up to next-toleading-order (NLO).D the parton and gluon distribution functions within the 3 nucleus, relevant for charm and bottom quark production at RHIC energies, are poorly 4 understood.d the precise measurement of charm cross sections in p+p, d+au and Au+Au collisions is very important. Precise charm cross section is also necessary as a base for J/Ψ suppression or enhancement measurements. Topological identification of charm mesons down to low transverse momentum will minimize the error in cross section determination due to extrapolation Charm Flow Charm quarks are abundantly produced at RHIC energies. Due to their high mass and small interaction cross section, the strength of elliptic flow of heavy flavor hadrons may 2 B. Mueller, nucl-th/ R. Vogt, hep-ph/ K.J. Eskola, V.J. Kolhinen, and R. Vogt, Nucl. Phys. A696, 729 (2001). 3
4 be a good indicator of thermalization occurring at the partonic level. If all quarks in heavy flavor hadrons flow with the same pattern as the quarks in the light flavor hadrons, this indicates frequent interactions between all quarks. Hence, thermalization of light quarks is likely to have been reached through partonic re-scattering. Figure 1 shows what precision in flow measurement can be reached with 500 M minimum bias events taken in STAR with the HFT. The red points show expectations from a cascade model 5 for the case that the charm quark has the same size partonic flow as measured for the light quarks. The green points show the limiting case where the charm quark has zero partonic v 2. Our measurement is expected to fall between those limits. It is obvious that the HFT will allow for a precision measurement that will shed light on the question of thermalization. Figure 1: v2 as a function of p T for the case of charm flow the same as light quark flow (red) and for the case where charm does not flow (green). Measuring charm quark flow through v 2 of topologically identified D-mesons down to low pt allows for a far superior measurement compared to v 2 of electrons or muons from semi-leptonic charm decay. The transverse momentum of decay products is not well defined (within a few GeV) and hydrodynamic effects manifest themselves at low transverse momentum. In addition, the contribution to electron or muon production from B-meson decay is not known. 5 V. Greco, C.M. Ko, and R. Rapp, Phys. Lett. B595, 202 (2004). 4
5 X This Figure 2: Expected errors for a R CP measurement as a function of p T Heavy Quark Energy Loss The discovery of a factor of 5 suppression of high p T hadrons (5 < p T < 10 GeV/c) produced in Au+Au collisions at RHIC and the disappearance of the away-side jet has been interpreted as evidence for jet quenching. 6,7 effect was predicted to occur due to radiative energy loss of high energy partons that propagate through a dense and 8 strongly interacting medium.d The energy loss of heavy quarks is predicted to be significantly less compared to light quarks because of a suppression of gluon radiation at angles Θ < M Q /E, where M Q is the heavy quark mass and E is the heavy quark energy. This kinematic effect is known as the dead cone effect. 9 However, a recent measurement of the nuclear modification factor, 10 R AA, for non-photonic electrons, the products of D- and B-meson decay, yielded the surprising result that D- and B-mesons apparently show the same large suppression of light hadrons. This clearly indicates that the energy loss mechanism is not yet understood and has triggered new theoretical development. 11,12 In order to make progress in understanding the nature of the energy loss 6 J.

6 mechanism, it is important to measure R AA or R CP for identified D-mesons. Figure 2 shows the precision for R CP that can be achieved with 500 M minimum bias events in STAR with the HFT under the assumption that the suppression for heavy quarks is of the same size as the suppression for the light quarks. Topologically identified D-mesons will allow for a precise measurement of the p T dependence and potentially flavor dependence of R AA. 3.

List of Tasks The following list is a list of research tasks only, it does not include project tasks. The tasks are divided into the three subsystems, Pixel, IST, and SSD, and into software. Some of the tasks involve more than one detector, like the IST alignment with the help of information from the Pixel. Also, division between general software tasks and tasks related to an individual detector component is somewhat arbitrary. 7
8 Pixel: 1. Develop procedure to map pixels into Tracker for calibration 2. Develop procedure to align pixel through tracking in overlap region (Stand alone on-line check with cosmic rays) 3. Develop alignment software for Pixel 4. Develop calibration for SSD and IST and use pixel info for TPC space charge corrections 5. Design Pixel pad monitor 6. Slow control monitoring IST: 1.

Concept for spatial calibration of Pixel/HFT: This is the determination of the complete sequence of steps taken to perform the survey of Pixel half-shells with a hardware resolution of about 5 microns. This includes careful evaluation of the interaction of survey equipment, hardware (e.g. location of fiducials) and software mapping procedures. 8

This includes the optimization and the tuning of the search criteria specifically to HFT as well as the implementation of established techniques like momentum ordering, event-vertex constraint, silicon-based vertex seed finder etc. 6. Calibration Databases finalized: This includes the definition of bank structures as well as the procedures associated with a given Calibration task of HFT (e.g. alignment). 1. Calibrate Detector 2. Prepare Analysis Software 3. Analyze Data 4. Operate Detector Data Taking and Physics Analysis: 5. Institutional Responsibilities The tables list the responsibilities and the manpower available for the research tasks connected with the construction and operation of the HFT. We start with an overview detailing the responsibilities of all institutes and then list the responsibilities and tasks of the individual institutions by year and task. The manpower listed is sufficient to perform all the tasks listed in the task list. In addition to this manpower, the STAR collaboration as a whole will be involved in the physics analysis of data derived from the HFT detector as indicated by the statement from the STAR spokesperson.

11 Statement by the STAR Spokesperson After completion of the TOF upgrade, the HFT will be the most important STAR upgrade project that will greatly extend the physics capabilities of STAR. Analyzing the data from the completed HFT and extracting physics results will be STAR s highest physics priority at that time. The heavy flavor data analysis will be done in the STAR Heavy Flavor physics working group (PWG). Already now this group is one of the most active groups in STAR the moment, the heavy flavor group consists of about 45 physicists, 17 of them do not belong to institutions that are presently involved in the HFT construction effort. With the operation of the HFT this group is expected to grow. I am convinced that a very large fraction of STAR collaborators that perform analysis will be eager to analyze HFT related data.
