1 Outline Motivation Analysis technique Results Conclusions

2 Motivation – Jets as probes of the medium
Hard parton scattering => back-to-back jets Good probes of medium produced at RHIC High multiplicity in A+A events Individual jets cannot be identified Studied using azimuthal correlations Modification of away side seen in Au+Au relative to p+p and d+Au STAR, PRL 91 (2003)

3 Motivation – particle identification in jets
Particle/antiparticle differences Quark vs gluon jets Meson/baryon differences Coalescence/ recombination mechanisms Consistent with particle ratios Testable with identified particle correlations? Parton Hadrons K0S,

4 Motivation - Long-range pseudorapidity correlations
Long-range pseudorapidity () correlations observed by STAR in Au+Au Near side jet peak sits on plateau (Ridge) Significant contribution to the near-side yield in central Au+Au Look for particle and system size dependencies which might reveal information about production mechanism J. Putschke (STAR), nucl-ex/

5 Identification of strange particles in Cu+Cu

6 Determination of yields and errors
Background: B(1+2 v2trig v2assoc cos(2ΔΦ)) Different fit methods for determination of B Zero Yield At Minimum (ZYAM) 1 point, 3 points (used as best guess) B as Free parameter used to determine errors on yield from B v2 error v2 measurements in progress Λ,Λ,K0S,Ξ-,Ξ+ v2 not measured Assume quark scaling of h v2 in Cu+Cu fit with ZYAM with 3 points, high v2 fit with ZYAM with 1 point fit with ZYAM with 3 points, best v2 fit with ZYAM with 3 points, low v2 fit with background as free parameter reflected 2.5 GeV<pTtrig<3.0 GeV, 1.5 GeV<pTassoc<pTtrig h-h, 0-10%

7 ΔΦ-Δη Correlations Consistent with Npart dependence
Ridge contribution smaller in Cu+Cu than in Au+Au at same centrality Ridge previously observed to be flat in  To determine relative contributions, find yields for near-side, take projections in -0.7<<0.7 (gives Jet + Ridge yield) 0.7<||<1.4 (gives Ridge yield) Jet yield = (Jet+Ridge yield) – Ridge yield Flow contributions to jet cancel out , statistics not high enough to conclusively see ridge but can apply the same method ΔΦ-Δη Correlations 3<pt,trigger<4 GeV pt,assoc.>2 GeV Cu+Cu 0-10% STAR preliminary Arbitrary units   Jet + Ridge 3<pt,trigger<4 GeV pt,assoc.>2 GeV Cu+Cu 0-10% STAR preliminary Arbitrary units   3<pt,trigger<4 GeV pt,assoc.>2 GeV Cu+Cu 0-10% STAR preliminary Ridge Jet Arbitrary units   h+h

8 Near-side Yield vs Npart
Jet Yield flat with Npart Ridge yield flat with Npart within errors Ridge yield very small No trigger particle type dependence Ridge yield in 0.7<||<1.4 region scaled to give ridge yield in -1.4<<1.4 Data points at same Npart offset for visibility Ridge yield in 0.7<|<1.4 region scaled to give ridge yield in -1.4<<1.4 Central point: ZYAM with 3 points Fit errors: background varied within error of fit background, ZYAM (3 pts.) background

9 Near-side Yield vs Npart Cu+Cu vs Au+Au
{ STAR Preliminary { STAR Preliminary Jet yield consistent with Npart Ridge yield consistent with Npart Ridge yield in 0.7<|<1.4 region in Cu+Cu data scaled to give ridge yield in -1.7<<1.7 for comparison with Au+Au data Data points at same Npart offset for visibility

10 Near-side yield vs pTtrigger
Jet yield rises with pTtrigger No particle type dependence Au+Au and Cu+Cu jet yields as a function of pTtrigger consistent

11 Conclusions No trigger particle type dependence
including non-strange, and singly and doubly strange triggers Cu+Cu Jet, Ridge yields consistent with Au+Au Jet, Ridge yields at the same Npart ridge yield in Cu+Cu very small In both systems Jet yield rises with pT trigger Jet yields the same for the same pT trigger in different systems in the most central data (Cu+Cu Npart = 98, Au+Au Npart = 325)

12 Future work  Systematics More checks on v2 Identified particle v2
Refine background level determination Coming soon Identified associated particles  triggers Away-side yields Energy dependence of Jet and Ridge components

18 Centrality dependence of near-side associated yield in Au+Au and d+Au
Jet + Ridge Ridge Jet -> “jet” yield is independent on centrality and agrees with d+Au (effects of merged tracks under study) -> “ridge” yield increases with centrality ridge of K0S < ridge ofΛ steep increase of near-side yield with centrality in Au+Au ratio of yields in central Au+Au/d+Au ~ 4-5 Jana Bielcikova Quark Matter 2006

19 pTtrigger dependence of jet and ridge yields
Jet + Ridge Ridge Jet near-side associated yield is ridge dominated at intermediate pT jet yield: - increases steeply with pTtrigger - smaller for Λ-triggers than for K0S-triggers ? - baryon jet is wider than meson jet - effects of merged tracks under study jet/ridge ratio increases with pTtrigger Jana Bielcikova Quark Matter 2006
