  24. Summary • Broadened and double-peaked away-side structure in 2-particle correlations. • Can be explained by conical emission or other physics mechanisms. • Mach-cone • Čerenkov gluon radion • PHENIX • shape consistent with Mach-cone simulation. • residual background? • STAR • Evidence of conical emission of correlated hadrons at an observed angle of 1.38 radians • pT independence of the angle suggests Mach-cone emission • CERES • peaks consistent with conical emission • With the aid of theoretical models the extracted angle my provide information on the speed of sound of the medium and the equation of state.

  25. Future Prospects • New data and detectors will allow for: • Higher statistics will allow for systematic studies of both trigger and associated pT. • Helped by increased jet production at LHC • Identified particle results: • Mach-cone emission should have a mass dependence in correlation strength • Full azimuthal TOF detectors ALICE and STAR (upgrade) will provide good PID for these analyses. • Possible change in angle between SPS, RHIC, and LHC. • Different initial temperatures • Many theoretical investigations have been carried out. • More work is needed to understand what the data tells us about cs and EOS.
