摘要:

关于夸克-胶子等离子体在热化之前的初始阶段的知识很少,大多是通过低$p_\perp$扇区推断的。我们在这份报告中提出了一种补充方法-使用高$p_\perp$探针的能量损失。我们研究了四个通常假设的初始阶段的影响,其温度分布只在热化之前不同,高$p_\perp$ $R_{AA}$和$v_2$预测。这些预测是基于我们的动态辐射和弹性能量损失方法(DREENA)框架。我们报告了$v_2$对初始阶段的不敏感性,使其无法区分不同的病例。$R_{AA}$显示对假定的初始阶段的敏感性,但目前的实验精度不允许这些情况之间的分辨率。我们进一步修改了普遍接受的程序,拟合的能量损失参数,为每个单独的初始阶段,测量的$R_{AA}$。我们发现,通过这种方法得到的$v_2$的各种初始阶段的敏感性主要是拟合过程的结果,这可能会模糊的物理解释。总的来说,高$p_\perp$可观的同时研究,不变的能量损失参数化和约束的温度分布,是至关重要的初始阶段的未来约束。

英文摘要:

The scarce knowledge of the initial stages of quark-gluon plasma before the thermalization is mostly inferred through the low-$p_\perp$ sector. We propose a complementary approach in this report - the use of high-$p_\perp$ probes' energy loss. We study the effects of four commonly assumed initial stages, whose temperature profiles differ only before the thermalization, on high-$p_\perp$ $R_{AA}$ and $v_2$ predictions. The predictions are based on our Dynamical Radiative and Elastic ENergy-loss Approach (DREENA) framework. We report insensitivity of $v_2$ to the initial stages, making it unable to distinguish between different cases. $R_{AA}$ displays sensitivity to the presumed initial stages, but current experimental precision does not allow resolution between these cases. We further revise the commonly accepted procedure of fitting the energy loss parameters, for each individual initial stage, to the measured $R_{AA}$. We show that the sensitivity of $v_2$ to various initial stages obtained through such procedure is mostly a consequence of fitting procedure, which may obscure the physical interpretations. Overall, the simultaneous study of high-$p_\perp$ observables, with unchanged energy loss parametrization and restrained temperature profiles, is crucial for future constraints on initial stages.
