Hadron Correlations in Jets and Ridges through Parton Recombination

Hwa, Rudolph C.

Understand

Hadron correlations in jets, ridges and opposite dijets at all $p_T$ above 2 GeV/c are discussed.

  • Since abundant data are available from RHIC at intermediate $p_T$, a reliable hadronization scheme at that $p_T$ range is necessary in order to relate the semihard partonic processes to the observables.
  • The recombination model is therefore first reviewed for that purpose.
  • Final-state interaction is shown to be important for the Cronin effect, large B/M ratio and forward production.
