Two Particle Azimuthal Correlation Measurements in PHENIX
نویسنده
چکیده
Two particle azimuthal correlation functions are presented for charged hadrons produced in Au + Au collisions at RHIC (√ s NN = 200 GeV). The correlation functions indicate sizeable asymmetries and anisotropies. The trend of the asymmetries is compatible with the presence of emission patterns associated with mini-jets. The magnitude and the trend of the differential anisotropies v 2 (p T) and v 2 (N P art), provide important model constraints.

Measurement of high-pT hadrons at RHIC-PHENIX
Measurements from the RHIC experiments show a strong suppression in the yield of high-pT single hadrons and a clear reduction in strength of the di-jet signal in two-hadron azimuthal-angle correlation functions in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC. These measurements should provide direct information on the properties of the medium within which hard-scattered par-tons propagate. The PHENIX preli...

Two particle azimuthal correlation functions are presented for charged hadrons produced in Au + Au collisions at RHIC ( √ s NN = 130 GeV). The measurements allow for the determination of elliptic flow without event-by-event estimation of the reaction plane. The measured correlation functions indicate elliptic flow values (v2) which show significant sensitivity to both the collision centrality a...

The PHENIX collaboration has developed novel methodologies for reliable extraction of jet functions from two and three particle azimuthal correlation functions measured at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at √ s = 200 GeV. The extracted jet shape and the yield of jet-associated partner hadrons (per trigger hadron) are found to vary with particle type and collision centrality, indicating a signi...

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...
