Extraction of Jet Properties from Two Particle Azimuthal Correlations in Pp and AuAu Collisions at [square Root of S Subscript NN]

Two particle azimuthal correlation functions measured in pp and AuAu collisions at [square root of s subscript NN] = 200 GeV at midrapidity with the central arms of the PHENIX detector are analyzed in order to extract the properties of hadronic jets produced in QCD vacuum and highly excited QCD media, like the jet shape parameters j[Subscript T] and k[Subscript T], the jet conditional yields (number of associated hadrons per high p[Subscript T] trigger hadron), and the jet fragmentation function. The analysis of pp data starts with the measurement of the vacuum fragmentation function from which the p[Subscript T] dependence of the mean fragmentation momentum fraction z is extracted. We obtain a constant value of z = 0.74±0.02 for p[Subscript T] above 3 GeV/c. Soft (non-perturbative) parton fragmentation becomes significant below 3 GeV/c and the slope of the fragmentation function is p[Subscript T] dependent in this region. Gaussian fits to jet induced azimuthal correlations are employed to measure the mean jet fragmentation transverse momentum j[Subscript Ty] = 359 ± 11 (stat) ± 6 (syst) MeV/c and the mean partonic transverse momentum k[Subscript Ty] = 964 ± 49 (stat) ± 16 (syst) MeV/c. The analysis of AuAu data is based on azimuthal correlation functions between charged hadrons in the 1.5-3 GeV/c and 3-5 GeV/c p[Subscript T] regions in five classes of collision centrality. The mean jet fragmentation transverse momentum j[Subscript Ty] is centrality independent and consistent with the value in pp data mentioned above. A strong broadening with the centrality of the extracted mean partonic transverse momentum k[Subscript Ty] (multiplied by z[Subscript trigg]) is observed. This is an important finding because hadronic jet quenching through energy loss is expected to be accompanied by a broadening effect. Another important finding is that the jet conditional yields in both the near (delta phi [Difference] 0) and away (delta phi [Difference] pi) regions exhibit a slightly raising trend with centrality. This was also expected to accompany the jet quenching found at higher p[Subscript T] based on simple energy conservation considerations.
Correlations Between Jets and Charged Particles in PbPb and Pp Collisions at $ \sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}
In this study, the quark-gluon plasma is studied via medium-induced changes to correlations between jets and charged particles in PbPb collisions compared to pp reference data. This analysis uses data sets from PbPb and pp collisions with integrated luminosities of 166 inverse microbarns and 5.3 inverse picobarns, respectively, collected at $ \sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2.76 $ TeV. The angular distributions of charged particles are studied as a function of relative pseudorapidity ([Delta][eta]) and relative azimuthal angle ([Delta][Phi]) with respect to reconstructed jet directions. Charged particles are correlated with all jets with transverse momentum (pT) above 120 GeV, and with the leading and subleading jets (the highest and second-highest in pT, respectively) in a selection of back-to-back dijet events. Modifications in PbPb data relative to pp reference data are characterized as a function of PbPb collision centrality and charged particle pT. A centrality-dependent excess of low-pT particles is present for all jets studied, and is most pronounced in the most central events. This excess of low-pT particles follows a Gaussian-like distribution around the jet axis, and extends to large relative angles of [Delta][eta] ≈ 1 and [Delta][Phi] ≈ 1.
Azimuthal Anisotropy in Au+Au Collisions at (square Root)s{sub NN}
The results from the STAR Collaboration on directed flow (v1), elliptic flow (v2), and the fourth harmonic (v4) in the anisotropic azimuthal distribution of particles from Au+Au collisions at (square root)s{sub NN} = 200 GeV are summarized and compared with results from other experiments and theoretical models. Results for identified particles are presented and fit with a Blast Wave model. For v2, scaling with the number of constituent quarks and parton coalescence is discussed. For v4, scaling with v22 and quark coalescence predictions for higher harmonic flow is discussed. The different anisotropic flow analysis methods are compared and nonflow effects are extracted from the data. For v2, scaling with the number of constituent quarks and parton coalescence are discussed. For v22 and quark coalescence are discussed.
