Summary
Large pt partons or Jets are good probes of the dense matter in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
In RHIC, can use pQCD based models to calculate high pt spectra.
- Need to combine soft and hard processes together.
Study back to back jets angular correlation
- if QGP is generated, angular correlation will be affected by jet quenching
- Phenix detector have limited acceptance, we can:
- increase pt and use the fiducial region
- learn how to correct for ? and ? acceptance.
We will further our study on jet angular correlation and look for jet quenching as a probe of QGP formation at RHIC.
