4 recombination What about string fragmentation? Fragmentation is not important until p T > 9 GeV/c. String model may be relevant for pp collisions, String/fragmentation has no phenomenological support in heavy-ion collisions. but not for AA collisions.

5 Basic equations for pion production by recombination Shower parton distributions are determined from Fragmentation function

6 Thermal partons are determined from the final state, not from the initial state. Transverse plane (log scale) 2 An event generator takes care of the spatial problem. cf. Duke and TAMU work on recombination. We deal in momentum space only, with all partons collinear until we treat angular dependence. k

25 Physical reasons for the big dip: competition for momenta by the shower partons in a jet if p 1 and p 2 are low, hard parton k can be low, and the competition is severe. Recall that r 2 (1,2) < 1 for shower partons. if p 1 and p 2 are high, hard parton k can be high, but f i (k) is suppressed, so 1 (1) 1 (2) is small, and C 2 (1,2) becomes positive.

33 New issues to consider: Angular distribution (1D -> 3D) shower partons in jet cone Thermal distribution enhanced due to energy loss of hard parton

42 The peaks in & arise from the recombination of thermal partons with shower partons in jets with angular spread. 2.The pedestal arises from the enhanced thermal medium. That is the feedback from the hard parton through lost energy to the soft partons. By longitudinal expansion it gives rise to the long-range correlation. Correlation exists among the shower partons, since they belong to the same jet. That may be regarded as the short-range correlation --- though only kinematical (sufficient so far). 1.

48 Conclusion Parton recombination provides a framework to interpret the data on jet correlations. There seems to be no evidence for any exotic correlation outside of shower-shower correlation in a jet. If future analysis finds no hole in, then some dynamical correlation among the shower partons may be needed. Autocorrelation without subtraction is a good place to compare theory and experiment.
