4. Search for the lost energy
Medium Modification of FF X. N. Wang, Phys. Lett. B 579: 299 -308, 2004 • Softening of fragmentation function due to energy loss • Enhancement of soft hadrons from emitted gluons at low z

V/c Au+Au top 5% bkgd subt. • Au+Au: v 2 modulation on background. p+p Au+Au top 5% f near Signal background
p. T distributions on near and away side Near side: syst. error Away side: energy from initial parton seems to be converted to lower p. T particles Overall enhancement from pp to AA Away Trigger bias in Au+Au? Coalescence effects at 4 Ge. V? reminiscent of energy loss predictions What about other explanations? Do we really know if it is a jet on away side?
Momentum conservation A thermal fluctuated large p. T particle (or a mono-jet) would produce an away side excess due to momentum conservation. Borghini et al. PRC 62, 034902 (2000): (1/Ntrig) d.

Borghini et al. f f trigger particle p. T (Ge. V/c) • near side is mostly a. No jet, punch-through and initially no mono-jet mid-rapidity. for 6 < pat. Ttrig < 10 Ge. V/c. • the final state away excess has a similar shape to a stat. distr. from momentum conservation. the away side excess approaches equilibration with the medium, consistent with the p T spectra results.
Broadening of di-hadron correlations Trigger and associated particles: (2. 5 p. Ttrigg 4. 0) (1. 0 p. Tassoc 2. 5) J. Rak PHENIX Most likely consistent with STAR, easy to check!
Summary Inclusive spectra: • very nice confirmation of R(d. Au)~1>6 -8 Ge. V • at higher p. T most likely be boring (according to I. Vitev & Co) Jet calibration: Finalize analysis, get solid numbers on k. Tvac, k. Tnucl v 2 at high p. T: It’d better start going down with p. T! Di-jets with respect to reaction plane: • Test d. E/dx(L)-dependence soon Jet chemistry: flavor-tagged correlations • Potentially extremely interesting! More statistics is needed… • More methods to disentangle jets and flow to come soon. . . Search for lost energy: Very promising • Higher trigger p. T! Low z-region (not necessarily low p. T) • Medium reaction to fast parton & thermalization Be at labforbythe Monday anddiscussions!!! take data!!! Thanks data and
