Surface bias of jet ridge is due to medium effect near the surface Medium effect near surface Ridges observed at any p T,trig Ridge yield0 as N part 0 depends on medium

13 3.Dependence on trigger STAR (preliminary)A. Feng 20-60%, 3-4:1.5-2 | 1 RP ss TT Ridge develops by radial flow near the jet axis Mismatch of T and the direction of radial expansion. has more ridge yield than Ridge yield decreases with increasing s Comments at the end, if asked.

14 Ridge Putschke, QM06 4. Dependence on p T,assoc Yet Ridge is correlated to jet production; thermal does not mean no correlation. Ridge is from thermal source enhanced by energy loss by semi-hard partons traversing the medium. Ridge is exponential in p T,assoc slope independent of p T,trig Exponential behavior implies thermal source. STAR

16
16 Medium effect near surface coordinated with radial flow SS trigger TT ridge (R) associated particles These wings are useful to identify the Ridge But of interest below is mainly the distribution. Ridge is from enhanced thermal source caused by semi-hard scattering. Recombination of partons in the ridge STST peak (J)
17
17 What are the consequences of Ridgeology? 1.Jet correlation at low and intermediate pT 2.Effect on single particle spectra 3.Effect on elliptic flow

18 PHENIX 2.5<pT,trig<4 GeV/c 1.8<pT,assoc<2.5 PHENIX, PLB 649,359(07) Peak is referred to as jet 1. Jet correlation at intermediate pT Not seeing the ridge does not mean that it is not there. J R Correlation in J is different from correlation in R Does not see the ridge | |<0.35
19
19 STAR preliminary Jet STAR preliminary Jet + Ridge PHENIX, PLB 649,359(07) SSTS TT Not un-correlated. Ridge would not be there without semi-hard scattering. How can intermediate-pt Jet yield be independent of centrality? 0.35
20
20 PHENIX data cannot be properly understood without taking Ridge into account 2.5<p T,trig <4.0 GeV/c PHENIX 0712.3033 J R 2 p t,assoc. > 2 GeV Au+Au 0-10% Putschke, QM06 p STAR
21
21 2. Effect of Ridge on single-particle spectra Semi-hard scattering at k T ~2-3 GeV/c is pervasive. Ridges are present with or without triggers. STAR, PRC 73, 064907 (2006) Auto-correlation without triggers. 0.15<pt<2.0 GeV/c, | |<1.3, at 130 GeV

22 Bulk+ Ridge TT Semi-hard partons generating ridge TS Fragments from hard partons SS (fragmentation) T includes enhanced thermal partons --- Ridge

23 sss How can we see better the TT component? Remove the TS and SS components, if possible. production:Au+Au + anything (sss) s quark suppressed in shower pt dN/ptdpt (log scale) TTS TTT uud Exposes the long exponential behavior in production
24
24 spectrum is exponential (thermal) Chiu & Hwa, PRC76,024904 (2007) How can it have correlated partners? --- the puzzle. STAR Resolution: Both and its associated hadrons are in the Ridge. Prediction: there is no peak (J) in the distribution --- only R R only
25
25 = cos -1 (b/2R) If the semi-hard jets are soft enough, there are many of them, all restricted to | | < . A semi-hard scattering near the surface gives rise to a jet, whose direction, on average, is normal to the surface. Initial configuration There is a layer of ridges at the surface without triggers. 3. Effect of Ridge on elliptic flow

Mach cone gluon radiation Cherenkov radiation deflected jets … Is there any connection between the double bumps and ridge w/o peak(J)? 2D mild dependence of D on pt,assoc favors

32 On to LHC Many predictions made (see arXiv:0711.0974) Those with existing codes can make extrapolations. Eskola et al (EKRT model) Is there new physics that cannot be obtained by extrapolation? SS hard parton hadron energy loss p/ >>1 Density of semi-hard partons is high at LHC. S S semi-hard partons SS or SSS recombination to form or p.
33
33 What is the bulk background at LHC? Since SS and SSS recombination of semi-hard partons are uncorrelated, they occur in mixed events. Thus they belong to the background. But those partons are not thermal, not in hydro. Can Ridge be identified in association with a high p T trigger --- p T,trig > 20 GeV/c? The ridge may not stand out among the background that consists of TT, TS, SS, TTT, TTS, TSS, SSS hadrons. Physics at intermediate p T at LHC may be very different from that at RHIC ----- cannot be obtained by extrapolation. So there is a mismatch between bg and hydro.

Pions are suppressed due to the lack of antiquarks at large x i.
