Ways to constrain the away side jet in Au + Au collisions in PHENIX
نویسنده
چکیده
We discussed methods used by the PHENIX to constrain the flow background in the two particle jet correlation. Both the background level and elliptic flow can be reliably decomposed from the jet contribution. We also studied the non-flow contribution to the reaction plane elliptic flow due to dijets. We found the jet bias is negligible in PHENIX, when the reaction plane is measured at Beam Beam Counter acceptance (3 < |η| < 4).

PHENIX Measurement of High-pT Hadron-hadron and Photon-hadron Azimuthal Correlations
High-pT hadron-hadron correlations have been measured with the PHENIX experiment in Cu + Cu and p + p collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. A comparison of the jet widths and yields between the two colliding systems allows us to study the medium effect on jets. We also present a first measurement of direct photon-hadron correlations in Au + Au and p + p collisions. We find that the near-side yields ar...
متن کاملJet Correlations with Identified Particles from PHENIX : Methods and Results
Azimuthal angle two particle correlations have been shown to be a powerful probe for extracting novel features of the interaction between hard scattered partons and the medium produced in Au+Au collisions at RHIC. At intermediate pT , 2-5GeV/c, the jets have been shown to be significantly modified in both their particle composition and their angular distribution compared to p+p collisions. Addi...
متن کاملDirect Photon-Hadron Correlations Measured with PHENIX
Direct photon-hadron correlations greatly improve our ability to perform jet tomography in heavy-ion collisions because the momentum of the direct photon can be used to constrain the initial momentum of the opposing jet. By comparing the spectrum of away-side hadrons observed in heavy ion collisions to the spectrum seen in nucleon collisions we can quantify the medium modification to the fragme...
متن کاملTomographic Studies of the sQGP at RHIC
Azimuthal correlation functions are used to study jetand di-jet properties as a function of centrality in Au+Au collisions at √ s NN =200 GeV. Utilizing a novel technique to decompose the correlation function into a (di-)jet and an underlying event, the jet-pair distribution is extracted and compared to similar results for d+Au collisions obtained at the same collision energy. A striking simila...
متن کاملFrom mach cone to reappeared jet: What do we learn from PHENIX results on non-identified jet correlation?
Abstract. High pT jets are known to be strongly modified by the dense, strongly interacting medium created in heavy-ion collisions. The jet signal, extracted from two particle ∆φ correlation, shows a systematic evolution of these modifications as function of pT and centrality. At intermediate pT , both near side and away side correlations are modified. But the modifications are much stronger at...
