We show that correlations among partons in a quasi-thermal medium can lead to the correlated emission of hadrons by quark recombination and argue that this mechanism offers a plausible explanation for the dihadron correlations in the few GeV/c momentum range observed in Au+Au collisions at RHIC.4 pages, 2 figures; v2: typo on p.4 correctedNuclear TheoryHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNuclear Experimenttext
