STAR results on two particle correlationsPhys.Rev.Lett.91:072304,2003
[STAR Collaboration]arXiv:nucl-ex/0604018
Increasing the value of the pT trigger cut the back-to-back correlation is visible again.
In this pT range, only for central AA collisions, the back-to-back correlation is suppressed.

Quenching Mechanism
The quenching mechanism proposed by Wiedeman & Salgado is parameterized as follows (Quenching Weight):
2/Lq̂ω 2c
λ/kq̂medium
2t
3Lq̂2
1R
characteristic scale for the radiation
mean squared momentum for unity length
The spectrum emission of gluons depends only on
c and R :
C.A. Salgado and U.A. Wiedemann, Phys. Rev. D 588, 303 (2000)
The avarage energy loss in this prediction is proportional to L2 = path length squared through the medium.

Quenching in Aliroot
Quenching Weight (class in Aliroot framework) based on the Wiedemann-Salgado model, takes in account the Nuclear Geometry.
An effective transport coefficient is calculated starting from the formula:

Energy loss and radiated gluons
In the code implementation (AliPythia::Quench method) the number of radiated gluons (multiple soft) are = 1 / (1-z*), in this way the energy of radiated gluons is always lower than that of the final leading parton.
*z = fraction of energy loss

Standard HIJING results at RHIC energy
Results for two particle correlation obtained from HIJING with the quenching model implemented in the original code.
The partial suppression affects both the peaks (near correlation, back correlation) so it is not fine when compared with RHIC data.
Energy loss in HIJING quenching model is proportional to L = path length through the medium.

Hijing also without background For statistics reasons some simulations are
obtained for events with a single Nucleon-Nucleon collision.However, the quenching effect is simulated assuming the Glauber geometry and the Quenching Weight scheme (as for full simulations).
Results with hijing are consistent with those from PYTHIA. The advantage in using HIJING is that is possible to simulate signal and background together.

HIJING results @ 200 GeV
HIJING single collisionHIJING full event
Like in PYTHIA+quech. simulations the back side correlation is strongly suppressed.
The full HIJING+quench. simulations (preliminary results Ntrig = 2700) confirm this effect. Background doesn’t correspond exaclty to RHIC data but the Monte Carlo is not tuned yet.

What happens at higher trigger pT?
Ntrig = 4493
HIJING single collision
Increasing the value of the pT trigger cut the back-to-back correlation is clearly visible again as in RHIC data.

Radiation effects at low pT
with radiation effects (WR)
without radiation effects (WoR)
Ntrig = 1713(WR)/150(WoR)
In the kinematic region of low pT, for central collisions, the contribution to back-to-back correlations could be due to the radiated gluons.

HIJING single collisionHIJING full event
Simulation at LHC energy with the quenching strength used for the simulation @ 200 GeV shown a clear signal with this choice for pT cut.
It is possible to test the di-hadron correllation for different pT cuts.

Conclusions Quenching Weight implementation in HIJING
seems to work in the kinematical regions investigated @ RHIC and it is more realistic than the standard quenching effect simulated in the HIJING original code;
In this way is possible to study the scenario could happen @ LHC for the observables presented herein;
Implementation of radiated gluons is still not complete but the analysis seems to be sensible at their contribution.
