Intra-jet correlations of high-$p_t$ hadrons from STAR
Abstract
Description
Systematic measurements of pseudorapidity ($Δη$) and azimuthal ($Δϕ$) correlations between high-$p_t$ charged hadrons in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV Au+Au collisions are presented. An enhancement of correlated yield at large $Δη$ on the near-side is observed. This effect persists up to trigger $p_{t}^{trig}$ $\sim$ 9 GeV/c, indicating that it is associated with jet production. More detailed analysis suggests distinct short-range and long-range components in the correlation.
