HighpThadrons as probes of the central region of Au-Au collisions atSNN=200

Abstract: The energy loss of high pT partons propagating through a hot and dense medium is regarded as a valuable tool to probe the medium created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The angular correlation pattern of hadrons associated with a hard trigger in the region of pT ∼ 1-2 GeV which exhibits a dip in the expected position of the away side jet has given rise to the idea that energy is lost predominantly to propagating collective modes ('Mach cones'). Recent measurements by the STAR collaboration have show… Show more

“…Radiative energy loss (i.e., the idea that medium-induced radiation predominantly carries away energy from a hard parent parton) has been rather successful in describing not only the hadronic nuclear suppression factor for central collisions, but also the effects of changing medium geometry [7]. Calculations within dynamical evolution models in various formalisms [8][9][10] have improved on this result and show also agreement with measured hard back-to-back correlations [11][12][13] and the measured suppression of protons [14].…”

“…Jet quenching caused by parton energy loss in dense medium has been proposed as a hard probe of the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in highenergy heavy-ion collisions [1,2]. The simplest form of jet quenching is the suppression of single inclusive hadron spectra at large transverse momentum, dihadron and γ-hadron correlation in heavy-ion collisions relative to proton-proton collisions [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Observation of these jet quenching phenomena among other experimental data on collective phenomena at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) provided the first evidence of the formation of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma in highenergy heavy-ion collisions [16,17].…”

“…It can be referred to as the signal of the Mach cone and its direction and depth vary with the jet path in the expanding QGP medium. The trigger threshold for jets can constrain the jet production point [44,[89][90][91]. Jets with lower energies are produced much more frequently because the production rate is a steeply decreasing function of the jet energy.…”
