Are Two-particle Azimuthal Correlation Measurements Compatible with Jet-quenching
Abstract
Recent measurements of inclusive charged hadron distributions indicate a suppression of high-pT hadron yields, suggestive of energy loss by hard scattered partons due to interactions with the surrounding dense medium.(PHENIX Collaboration, K. Adcox PRL) 88, 022301 (2002); K. Adcox nucl-ex/0306021. Using data from recent RHIC measurements (√sNN =200 GeV and √sNN =130 GeV), we will address the question of whether or not observed azimuthal anisotropies and asymmetries are compatible with jet quenching.
