Jet correlation measurements from RHIC/STAR Fuqiang Wang
p+p Au+Au hadrons q q q q well calibrated: can be calculated by pQCD. leading particle hadrons q q hadrons leading particle The Idea • embed di-jet in AA • interact with the medium • probe medium properties • di-jet, back-to-back. • well calibrated – pQCD.
AA over binary-scaled pp Single hadron suppressed High-pt mostly from jets. x5 Strong jet-quenching
Di-hadron Single y (fm) y (fm) x (fm) x (fm) Less surface bias Dihadron better sensitivity dihadron T. Renk, PRC 74 (2006) 034906 T. Renk and Eskola,hep-ph/0610059 single hadron H. Zhang et al., PRL 97 (2006) 252001

Summary • Strong jet quenching. • Strong medium modification to jet correlation. • Evidence of conical emission – Mach-cone shock wave. • Ridge not well understood yet –new results to come.
