Event-plane dependent dihadron correlations with harmonic $v_n$ subtraction in Au+Au Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{{}_{\mathrm{NN}}}}=200$ GeV

Abstract

STAR measurements of dihadron azimuthal correlations ($\Delta \varphi$) are reported in mid-central (20-60\%) Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{{}_{\mathrm{NN}}}}=200$ GeV as a function of the trigger particle's azimuthal angle relative to the event plane, ${\varphi }_s=|{\varphi }_t-{\psi }_{\mathrm{EP}}|$. The elliptic ($v_2$), triangular ($v_3$), and quadratic ($v_4$) flow harmonic backgrounds are subtracted using the Zero Yield At Minimum (ZYAM) method. The results are compared to minimum-bias d+Au collisions. It is found that a finite near-side ($|\Delta \varphi |<\pi /2$) long-range pseudorapidity correlation (ridge) is present in the in-plane direction (${\varphi }_s\sim 0$). The away-side ($|\Delta \varphi |>\pi /2$) correlation shows a modification from d+Au data, varying with ${\varphi }_s$. The modification may be a consequence of pathlength-dependent jet-quenching and may lead to a better understanding of high-density QCD.
