Identified Particle Correlations at RHIC : Medium Interactions & Modified Fragmentation
نویسنده
چکیده
Azimuthal angle two particle correlations have been shown to be a powerful probe for extracting novel features of jet induced correlations 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. Two-particle angular correlations with identified particles provide sensitive probes of both the interactions between hard scattered partons and the medium. The systematics of these correlations are essential to understanding the physics of intermediate pT in heavy ion collisions.

متن کاملStudying Jets with Identified Particles at PHENIX
A surprising excess of protons at intermediate pT , 2-5GeV/c, has been observed in Au+Au collisions at RHIC, for which the source is not known. In p+p collisions, particles at this pT arise from jet fragmentation, however the observed baryon yield in central Au+Au collisions are not compatible with the usual jet fragmentation function. Two particle ∆φ correlations are a powerful probe for quant...

The analysis of two-particle azimuthal angular correlations at high transverse momentum from Pb+Au collisions at 158 AGeV/c at SPS reveals substantial modifications of the away-side peak as compared to the distributions from p+p reactions. The data recorded with the CERES Time-Projection Chamber, which provides excellent tracking efficiency, suggest that the observed modification of the back-to...

متن کاملJet-Medium Interactions with Identified Particles
Identified particles have long been of great interest at RHIC in large part because of the baryon/meson differences observed at intermediate pT and the implications for hadronization via quark coalescence. With recent high statistics data identified particles are also now central to understanding the details of the jet-medium interactions and energy loss and hadron formation at intermediate and...
