Away-side asymmetry of jet correlation relative to reaction plane: a sensitive probe for jet in-medium modifications
arXiv:0903.3263 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.022301
Abstract
We proposed a new observable based on two particle azimuth correlation to study the away-side medium response in mid-central Au+Au collisions. We argue that a left/right asymmetry may appear at the away-side by selecting triggers separately in the left and right side of the reaction plane. A simple model estimation suggests that the magnitude of such asymmetry could reach 30% with details depends on the medium response mechanisms. This asymmetry, if observed, can help to distinguish competing theoretical models.
