PHOBOS: Untriggered Ridge
from Edward Wenger, RHIC & AGS User’s Meeting, ‘08
• soft ridge with very long range in rapidity?
• caution: v2 not yet removed

Long Range Correlations
• must originate at the earliest stages of the collision
• like super-horizon fluctuations in the Universe
• information on particle production mechanism

hard ridge explanations -- jet interactions with matter
soft ridge -- similar but no jet -- collective behavior

Flux Tubes and Glasma
Cross sectional slices are the same
Large
• Flux Tubes: longitudinal fields early on
• Tubesquarks+gluons
• Correlated Particles come from the same tube
• Causally disconnected

Flux Tubes and Glasma
• Single flux tube: phase space density of gluons
• Flux tube transverse size
• Number of flux tubes
•Gluon rapidity density

Flux Tubes and the Correlation Function
• Partons from the same tube are correlated
• Correlations between tubes are negligible
Assume:
flux tube transverse size ~ Qs
-1 << RA
correlation strength
pair density n2 single particle density n1
• Correlation function:

Correlation Strength
• Long range glasma fluctuations scale the phase space density
• Energy and centrality dependence of correlation strength

• Correlation Strength

from Lanny Ray, RHIC & AGS User’s Meeting, ‘08
• Mean flow depends on position
• Opening angle for each fluid element depends on r
