Jet Correlations from PHENIX: Low-pT to High-pT

Abstract

PHENIX has measured many different two-particle azimuthal correlations in several different colliding systems, beam energies, $p_T$ windows, etc. The initial striking results from the first full energy Au+Au run have been confirmed, i.e. the observation of away-side suppression at intermediate $p_T$ and the shape modification at low $p_T$. With the new high-statistics data these results have been extended to further explore the physics resulting in these modified correlations. In this contribution we present a wide variety of correlation results at high-$p_T$ ($>$ 5 GeV/c) and at low $p_T$ ($\sim$ 1-4 GeV/c). We discuss the implication of these data on energy loss models and on the possibilities of determining medium properties from these correlations.
