Two-particle azimuthal (φ) and pseudorapidity (η) correlations using a trigger particle with large transverse momentum (p T) in d+Au, Cu+Cu, and Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 62.4 GeV and 200 GeV from the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider are presented. The nearside correlation is separated into a jet-like component, narrow in both φ and η, and the ridge, narrow in φ but broad in η. Both components are studied as a function of collision centrality, and the jet-like correlation is studied as a function of the trigger and associated p T. The behavior of the jet-like component is remarkably consistent for different collision systems, suggesting it is produced by fragmentation. The width of the jet-like correlation is found to increase with the system size. The ridge, previously observed in Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV, is also found in Cu+Cu collisions and in collisions at √ s NN = 62.4 GeV, but is found to be substantially smaller at √ s NN = 62.4 GeV than at √ s NN = 200 GeV for the same average number of participants (N part). Measurements of the ridge are compared to models.

We present an overview of collective flow phenomena and dihadron correlations measurements from the CMS experiment at the LHC. Fourier components of the anisotropic azimuthal distribution, ranging from the second to the sixth component, are obtained using different analysis techniques, which have different sensitivities to non-flow and flow fluctuation effects. Utilizing a novel and unique high...
متن کاملUnderstanding jet quenching and medium response with di-hadron correlation
A brief review of the pT dependence of the dihadron correlations from RHIC is presented. We attempt to construct a consistent picture that can describe the data as a whole, focusing on the following important aspects, 1) the relation between jet fragmentation of survived jet and medium response to quenched jets, 2) the possible origin of the medium response and its relation to intermediate pT p...
متن کاملJet and Leading Hadron Production in High-energy Heavy-ion Collisions
Jet tomography has become a powerful tool for the study of properties of dense matter in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. I will discuss recent progresses in the phenomenological study of jet quenching, including momentum, colliding energy and nuclear size dependence of single hadron suppression, modification of dihadron correlations and the soft hadron distribution associated with a quenched ...

Jet quenching in the matter created in high energy nucleusnucleus collisions provides a tomographic tool to probe the medium properties.

متن کاملEnergy Dependance of Azimuthal Correlations (and more) in Nucleus–Nucleus Collisions at the CERN SPS
Analysing two-particle azimuthal and pseudorapidity–azimuth correlations of high-pT hadrons, experiments at the RHIC have obtained results — “the double hump”, “the ridge” etc. — which provide interesting information about properties of the hot, dense medium produced in central high-energy heavy-ion collisions as well as of its interaction with products of hard scattering. However, not all of t...
