Clear jet signal is observed on near-side even in the most central AA collisions. Strong suppression is observed on the away-side. RHIC-AGS Annual User Meeting 2008
Theory Models Are There to Explain • We all agree: • Jet-quenching is due to partons lose energy in the hot and dense QCD medium • We don’t agree on: energy loss mechanisms • Mach cone (Stoecker, Casalderrey-Solana, Shuryak, Teaney, Ruppert, Muller, Renk) • Cherenkov gluon radiation (Dremin, Koch, Majumder, Wang) • Large angle gluon radiation (Vitev, Salgado) • Flow-induced deflection (Armesto, Salgado, Wiedemann) • Parton multiple scattering (Chiu, Hwa) • …. • Important to study the back-to-back jets simultaneously: use di-jets events.

Analysis Method • Select only events with 2 back-to-back (within azimuthal space) high-pT hadrons. • Then in the 2-D space, plot the azimuthal distribution of lower-pT particles around one of the two high-pT hadrons. • The flow background and underlying events are taken into consideration.

Measurement: Di-jets Still Lose Energy arXiv:0801.4545v1 • PHENIX h-h correlation. This JAA is calculated on per-event basis instead of per-trigger. • At right-end of top-left panel (most central) , the JAA (pTA pTB) approaches the inclusive RAA2 (dash line), indicating an evident energy loss. • We need to further quantize the di-jets.

Discussion on Di-jets Correlation Centrality Dependence • Cu+Cu yields are higher than p+p at “non-required” conditional pT bin, is consistent to the Au+Au h-h correlation result (arXiv:0801.4545) • Cu+Cu or p+p yield increase with conditional pT is possibly due to the Q2 shift. That is, if we fixed the trigger pT and increase the away-side conditional pT, we are increasing the Q2 of di-jets, thus the parton energy on near-side, and naturally increase the yields. A similar discussion was given in PHENIX paper Phys. Rev. D 74, 072002 (2006) • On the other hand, the fact that Cu+Cu yields increase slower than p+p with conditional pT, indicates possible medium effect such as jet absorption. Existence of underlying events (random combination of T1 and T2) can also lower the yields especially in central AA. • Far-side yields was not shown here since I am still in development of removing the bias introduced by this “conditional” particle.

Outlook • People at RHIC are analyzing their Run 2007 Au+Au data with much more statistics (e.g., PHENIX has more than 3-times of what it got in 2004 Au+Au, and better flow measurement with the new RXNP detector). • Geometry dependence of di-jets (yields, ridge shapes, etc) can be extend to a broader range then. • Methods of removing underlying events will be improved. • Long-term scope: • (nearly) full di-jet reconstruction (STAR and PHENIX Upgrade)? • Direct g -jet correlation to ultimately remove the surface bias? Can be the silver bullet. RHIC-AGS Annual User Meeting 2008
Summary • We already know from 2-particle correlation that jets are modified by medium, on both near and far side. Medium effect shows as jet suppression and varies on centrality and pT. • New analysis of 2+1 correlations:a new method of controlling jet source via the surface-bias, especially on exploring the jet suppression. • Preliminary results from both PHENIX and STAR show a di-jet structure, and statistically shift our observation to either tangential jets or punch-through (both sides) jets. • New technique allows further exploration of the “surface bias”, and will probe the medium in a more controlled way.
