Dear collaborators,
A few simple-minded Oslo thoughts on the beam priorities (once our
full-energy Au-Au ambitions are satisfied):
There seems to be consensus that high-pt measurements should be
our main focus, although longitudinal dynamics also still has high
priority.
If it is possible to get a lower-energy Au-Au run as part of run IV
(where another species seems to be out of the question for operational
reasons?) it would be extremely interesting to do a rapidity scan
covering more of the fragmentation region, as Jens Jørgen points out.
(A special bonus for Norway is that this would make a beautiful
addition to Bjørn's thesis on particle production and stopping.)
At the same time we could complement the larger experiments' studies
of high-pt suppression at midrapidity.
If we have to wait until run V (where both species are operationally
feasible) I tend to agree with Flemming that the lighter species at full
energy would serve the BRAHMS high-pt program better. Here we could
really make BRAHMS-unique contributions, measuring high-pt spectra of
good quality at higher rapidities.
Best wishes,
Trine
