Two-particle correlations with strange baryons and mesons at RHIC
Abstract
Description
We present results on two-particle correlations using singly-strange particles ($Λ$, $\barΛ$, $K^0_S$) and charged hadrons at intermediate p_T in d+Au and Au+Au collisions at RHIC. We discuss properties of the near-side correlation peak in both azimuthal and pseudo-rapidity space and separate jet-like contributions from the long-range pseudo-rapidity correlations (the ridge). In particular, we study the centrality and p_T dependence of the jet and ridge yields for various trigger and associated particle species and compare the results to model predictions.
