Two Ridges, One Explanation
arXiv:0907.4362 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2009.10.058
Abstract
We attribute the phenomenon known as "the ridge" to long range initial state correlations from Color Glass Condensate flux tubes and later stage radial flow. We show that this description can explain the amplitude and azimuthal width of the soft ridge and nearly explain that of the hard ridge, suggesting that the two are essentially the same phenomenon.
