PHENIX measurement of jet properties and their modification in heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

The properties of jets produced in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at sqrt{s_NN}=200 GeV are studied using the method of two particle correlations. The trigger particle is assumed to be a leading particle from a high p_T jet while the associated particle is assumed to come from either the same jet or the away jet. From the angular width and yield of the same and away side correlation peaks, the parameters characterizing the jet properties are extracted.
