Searching for the next Yukawa phase of QCD

  • 1. Physics Dept., Columbia Univ., New York, NY 10027 (United States)

Description

QCD predicts that the interactions between quarks and gluons change from a confining to a screened Yukawa form above a critical temperature Tc ∼ 150 MeV. In this talk, I review some of the key observables in heavy ion reactions which are being used to search for this new partonic Yukawa phase at SPS and RHIC. These include collective observables such as dEsub(perpendicular)/dYd2psub(perpendicular), meson interferometry, jet quenching, and J/ψ suppression. (author)
