  5. Jet event in a hot QCD medium Quenching of Hadronic Jets in QGP Bulk soft QCD particle production from vacuum: dnch/dh|h=0= 670, about 15,000 quarks in the final state and about 1,200 quarks in the initial state: 92% of all quarks are from vacuum ! Jet (hard) QCD particle production : -from partonic hard scattering (primarily gluons); - high-Q2 processes with calculable cross section (S(Q2)<<1) produced early (<1fm); - interact strongly with the bulk QGP:loose energy via gluon radiation  jet quenching Observed via: - leading (high-pT) hadron cross section; - two-hadron azimuthal correlations at high-pT.

Cronin is the dominant initial state effect at y=0 at RHIC (x is too high for gluon saturation). The strong suppression in AuAu is a final state effect: hadronic jet quenching! Iowa State University

A mixed event method is used to cut them out. Iowa State University

  22. CARTOON flow+jet flow N A Two-hadron azimuthal correlation function:technique We use the mixed event technique to correct the shape of the  distributions for acceptance and efficiency fluctuations: We then fit with the expected sources: C() = F(1+2V22cos(2))+ GausN(;N)+ GausA(;A) where, of course, v20 in pp and dAu and constant F is fixed by CF normalization. We extract 4 parameters: widths (N, A) and areas (SN, SA). Iowa State University

  33. The Method of Minimum Jet Amplitude Point (I) The simple fit fails in AuAu correlationsbecause the away Gaussian broadens quickly with centrality and no longer can be distinguished from the cosine modulation (A>V2). The method of minimum jet amplitude point (MJAP) has two steps: 1) Suppose that the dominant contribution to the correlation function at the point min where the jet function (the sum of the two Gaussians) has minimum amplitude is given by the collective “flow” correlations. Extract the magnitude of the cosine modulation V2 with this assumption. 2) Fix V2 to the value extracted at step (1) and fit without assumptions. Assign systematic errors by varying V2 within its error and repeating this step. Iowa State University

  34. The Method of Minimum Jet Amplitude Point (II) Extensive simulations show that the 1st step of the MJAP procedure effectively truncates the away Gaussian parameters once its width becomes equal or larger than ~0.7-0.8 rad. However, the magnitude V2 of the cosine modulation is reliably retrieved. Iowa State University

  36. Results AuAu – Jet Shape Parameters • some amount of truncation is indeed present; • jTy is centrality independent and agrees • with its corresponding value in pp (red • band); • ztrigg·kTy broadens strongly with centrality • In the skin jet emission scenario, which • implies a trigger bias on the fragmentation • part of the correlation function, the above means that kTy broadens strongly with centrality, a final state energy loss signal! 1st step 2nd step Iowa State University

  37. Results AuAu – Jet Conditional Yields 1st step 2nd step near 2nd step A slight increase in the conditional yields with centrality is observed for trigger hadrons in (3-5)GeV/c and associated hadrons in (1.5-3)GeV/c. away Iowa State University
