PHENIX Measurement on High pT h-h and g-h Azimuthal Correlations Jiamin Jin for the PHENIX collaboration Quark Matter 2006, Shanghai Nov. 18, 2006
Outline • Motivation • High pT p0-h correlation results (Cu+Cu/p+p) • Width and Yield • Moving on to direct g-h • Method • Results in Au+Au, how does it compare to p+p? • Conclusions
nucl-ex/0510023 T Motivation • High pT suppression • Pattern persists up to 20GeV/c • Integral quantity, limited sensitivity to medium properties • more differential observables needed, angular correlations! • How are inclusive spectra and jet associated yields related? • How is energy loss reflected in away side suppression? • Near side energy loss?
Construct CF, yield, various jet variables… Correlation Function (CF) Trigger Assoc Df Mixed events -- correct PHENIX pair acceptance
CF(Df) [A.U.] 1/NtrigdN/dDf p0: 5-10GeV/c PHENIX Preliminary p0: 5-10GeV/c PHENIX Preliminary p0-h CF and yield: Cu+Cu vs p+p 0-20% Cu+Cu p+p • Per trigger Yield • away side peak seen in both systems • CF strength: ~ jet S/B, p+p > Cu+Cu • lines indicate flow modulated background. No flow in p+p
p0: 5-10GeV/c Near side jet shape: width Gauss width • Consistent Gauss width between Cu+Cu and p+p
Near side jet shape: Pout red: Cu+Cu black: p+p Pout • Enhancement of Pout tail in Cu+Cu (large Df), near side modified
Away side jet shape p0: 5-10GeV/c Gauss width • Within errors, away side Gauss width shows no centrality dependence • No broadening from p+p to Cu+Cu @ high trigger pT!
IAA: modification of yields Red: near side Blue: away side IAA = Yield(Cu+Cu) Yield(p+p) E • Near side IAA ~ unity • Away side IAA suppression ~0.6 at xE>0.4
Integrated IAA(0.4<xE<1.0) similar with RAA! • more suppression, as peripheral central
Integrated IAA(0.4<xE<1.0) similar with RAA! • more suppression, as peripheral central • similar to p0 RAA values!

Conclusions • Precision measurements of high pT dijets in Cu+Cu/p+p collisions • Near side modification visible in Pout distribution. • Away side yield suppressed; shape, peak width unchanged • Away side IAA quantitatively consistent with RAA • First measurements of high pT direct g-h yields in Au+Au/p+p collisions • Near side yield ~ 0 • Hint of suppression of away side jets in Au+Au • Need more statistics to make conclusive statement • Upcoming Au+Au run
