Texas A&M Group Ahmed M. Hamed BNL Motivation Why -jet measurements? Single Particle Spectra-R AA Mid-rapidity Statistical Method Heavy quarks suppress as much as light quarks in the medium. R AA exhibits only very limited sensitivity to the properties of the medium. More differential observable is needed.
? Near-side: p+p, d+Au, Au+Au is similar. Back-to-back: Au+Au strongly suppressed relative to p+p and d+Au. Suppression of the back- to-back correlation in central Au+Au is a final-state effect Motivation Why -jet measurements? Jet-like azimuthal correlations Surface bias for the trigger particle. Trigger particle with no surface bias is required for better calibration of the away-side jet. Trigger particle with no surface bias is required for better calibration of the away-side jet.

Better understanding for the energy loss mechanism! Elliptic flow. oDirect Photons: Gamma-charged hadrons correlation. Four multipurpose experiments (BRAHMS, PHENIX, PHOBOS, STAR) Empirical lines of evidence: Energy density well beyond critical value. Large elliptic flow. Jet quenching. dAu control experiment. Interpreted in terms of a strongly coupled QGP and a new QCD state (?) Color Glass Condensate Required: Challengeable measurements! Doesn’t couple to the medium. QGP thermal photons. Test for binary scaling for hard process. Motivation Why -jet measurements? Summary Texas A&M Group Ahmed M. Hamed BNL
Motivation Why -jet measurements? LO Direct photons Bremsstrahlung fragmentation component direct component Decay photons hard: thermal: schematic view Calibrated probe of the QGP – at LO. No Surface Bias Hard process Possible discriminator for quark/gluon jet at LO. oGamma-charged hadrons correlation. Texas A&M Group Ahmed M. Hamed BNL
Experimental Challenges Is it possible to measure? 0 – spectra are suppressed by a factor of ~5 relative to the scaled p+p collisions. Pythia v6.131 event generator pp-collisions at √s=200 GeV, |η|<1 (STAR acceptance) The away-side in di-jet production is more suppressed. Background sources of direct photons suppressed in medium. Texas A&M Group Ahmed M. Hamed BNL In medium:
Inclusive - jet in Au+Au at s=200GeV Thomas Dietel Quark Matter 2005 SIMULATION (pp) Away-side decreases with increasing centrality. Decrease in near-side due to the increased fraction of prompt photons. Need / 0 discrimination. STAR Preliminary Simulation shows no associated particles in -charged correlation.
