Triggered Azimuthal Correlations
11
• Triggered correlations: choose a particle from one pT region ("trigger particle") and correlate with particles from another pT region ("associated particles") where pT,assoc < pT,trig in bins of pT,trig and pT,assoc
• Lower pT
• Assess the bulk of the correlations• Dominated by hydrodynamics and flow• Ridge
• Higher pT
• Dominated by jets• Quenching/suppression, broadening
Away-side jet disappears

Flow & Triggered Correlations
16
Any function can be described with enough coefficients- But not if we impose factorization C(pT
trig, pTassoc)=v(pT
trig)*v(pTassoc) (or take coefficients from flow
analysis).
Correlations (|h|>0.8) can be described consistently with 'collective flow' hypothesis
for pT < 3-4 GeV ( consistent with 'collectivity ')
only partially or not at all for pT > 5 GeV
≈ coefficients from flow analysis
coefficients from C(PT1,PT2) analysis
v3 : explain the 'near side long range ridge' and the away side 'Mach cone’ for |h| > 0.8 and pT < 3-4 GeV !
'away side jet'

Surprisingly (?) : less suppression than RHIC !
RCP(Alice/Atlas): suppression stronger at high pT ??
Caveats:
- J/y (B) about 10% (LHCb) => RAA(prompt) lower by ≈ 0.05
- compare to Phenix e+e- ? => less difference, still significant
- shadowing(LHC) > shadowing(RHIC) ? => RAA goes up ?
- cold nuclear matter suppression ?

collisions ICP
• Compare Pb+Pb and pp IAA
• Non-jet component (baseline) needs to be removed (no known assumption-free methods… pedestal at p/2, ALICE flow… )
