What have we learnt from Tevatron and RHIC?What have we learnt from Tevatron and RHIC?

Tevatron: c and b production relatively well understood (b better than c...)

theory: leading log resummation (FONLL); parton shower matched to NLO (MC@NLO); accurate treatment of fragmentation (Cacciari et al.: matching of pert. hat and non-pert. fragm. from ee to pp)

experiment: exclusive (or less inclusive) is better (D mesons, BJ/+X), publish what you measure (not only extrapolations)

Page 14: Heavy Quarks  at the LHC

What have we learnt from Tevatron and RHIC?What have we learnt from Tevatron and RHIC?

RHIC: heavy-quark (non-phot.) electrons as suppressed as pions, and they do flow (v2, see later)

but the picture is not clear...pp baseline at upper limit of FONLL band (like CDF’s charm)

suppression not understood (small b contribution? large b E loss?)

Energy extrapolation via pQCD?Energy extrapolation via pQCD?

Different systems (pp, p-Pb, Pb-Pb) will have different s values

Results in pp at 14 TeV will have to extrapolated to 5.5 TeV (Pb-Pb energy) to compute, e.g., nuclear modification factors RAA

pQCD: there ratio of results at 14 TeV/5.5 TeV has ‘small’ uncertainty

SummarySummaryLHC: heavy quarks factory!Heavy quarks as probes of high-density QCD

low pT: probe small-x structure of p and nucleus

intermediate pT: probe medium thermalisation (reco/flow) high pT: probe medium density via energy loss

pPb reference neededcan we live without pp at the Pb-Pb energy?

Experiments getting ready all crucial detectors (Si trackers, lepton ID) already commissionedthorough calibration and alignment with cosmic runs
