Analysis Method for Jet-Like Three-Particle Azimuthal Correlations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Jet-like three-particle azimuthal correlations can discriminate various physical scenarios that have been proposed to explain the observed strong modification to twoparticle azimuthal correlations. The three-particle correlation analysis is notoriously difficult in heavy-ion collisions due to the large combinatorial backgrounds. We describe the general idea behind the jet-like three-particle azimuthal correlation analysis, with emphasis on the subtraction of the combinatorial backgrounds. We discuss in detail various sources of systematic uncertainties in such an analysis.

Identification of exotic jet topologies via three particle correlations in PHENIX
Modifications of jet properties resulting from the coupling of jets to the strongly interacting matter produced in RHIC collisions are of great current interest. In recent work, the PHENIX collaboration has applied a novel technique to the analysis of two particle azimuthal correlations which extinguishes the harmonic part of the underlying event revealing the true jet shape. Recent extensions ...
متن کاملMethods for Jet Studies with Three-particle Correlations
We present a method based on three-particle azimuthal correlation cumulants for the study of the interaction of jets with the medium produced in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC where jets cannot be reconstructed on an event-by-event basis with conventional jet finding algorithms. The method is specifically designed to distinguish a range of jet interaction mechanisms such as Mach cone emis...
متن کاملSearch for Conical Emission with Three-Particle Correlations
We present preliminary STAR results on 3-particle azimuthal angle correlation studies in Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. The studies are carried out at mid-rapidity between a trigger particle with 3 ≤ p⊥ ≤ 4 GeV/c and two associated particles in 1 ≤ p⊥ ≤ 2 GeV/c. A cumulant analysis reveals finite 3particle azimuthal correlations, dominated by near and away side particle correlations consi...
متن کاملAngular correlations in multi-jet final states from k⊥-dependent parton showers
We investigate parton-branching methods based on transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions and matrix elements for the Monte Carlo simulation of multi-particle final states at high-energy colliders. We observe that recently measured angular correlations in ep final states with multiple hadronic jets probe QCD coherence effects in the space-like branching, associated with finite-a...
متن کاملIn-Medium Properties of Jets
Modifications of jet-like azimuthal correlations have revealed novel properties of the medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Experimental results on jet-like 2and 3-particle correlations, specificly “punch-through” at high transverse momentum, broadening at low and modest transverse momentum, and particularly the possible experimental evidence for conical flow, are reviewed. Futu...
