Jets via angular correlations leading particle “trigger” Jet produces high pT particles Select a high pT particle to locate jet, look for correlated hadrons. Measure reference, look for changes: • Correlation strength • Correlated shapes • Associated spectral distributions Df=0 Same-side Df= Away-side NNPSS 2011
But… A fly in the ointment – “backgrounds”: many processes would lead to some sort of angular correlations An example: decomposing autocorrelations from p+p: Correlation measure: NNPSS 2011
Signal decomposition Triggered di-hadron correlations: Two-component model: all hadrons come from jet fragmentation + “soft” processes In two-component approach one needs to know only B, and v2(pT) and assume Azimuthal pair distribution per trigger: common partonic hard-scattering pairs from all other sources NNPSS 2011
