High Parton Energy Loss from Jet Pair Correlation Observables in the PHENIX Experiment
arXiv:0907.4820 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2009.10.090
Abstract
By tuning several experimental observables, such as momentum and reaction plane, the PHENIX experiment has performed a systematic study of high parton energy loss in hot nuclear matter, as well as jet induced medium modifications, such as the ridge and shoulder. Baseline d+Au measurements are also studied to provide the comparison as control of cold nuclear matter effect.
