PHENIX study of dihadron correlation in Au+Au collision at s NN√ = 200 GeV: Jet quenching and medium response

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We provide a detailed survey study of dihadron azimuthal angle (δφ) correlations in a broad range of transverse momentum (0.4 < pT < 10 GeV/c) and centrality (0-92%) in Au+Au collisions at sNN√ = 200 GeV. The evolution of the jet shape and yield with pT seems to suggest two distinct components at the away-side pairs: a suppressed jet fragmentation component around δφ ̃ π, and a medium-induced components around |δφ-π| ̃ 1.1. The former dominates pT > 5 GeV/c and the later dominates at pT < 4 GeV/c.
