Even the phi which has a very low hadronic scattering cross-section develops a v2 which scales with the mesons. Strong indication of flow developing at the partonic stage
Phi meson Flow
N. N. Ajitanand Jyvaskyla 2007 6
lambdas and cascades also show strong v2 according to the expected scaling pattern further supporting the view that flow sets in at the partonic stage

Calculation of the charm spectrum and the elliptic flow as a function of the diffusion coefficient implies surprisingly strong rescattering behaviour for the heavy quark. An indication of the rather special attributes of the matter formed. Strongly coupled liquid ?
Charm Diffusion

Although a part of this effect may be trivially related to the contribution of resonances, the possibility of medium modification contributions is an interesting area of investigation.
PHENIX Data to be published in PRL
One way to do this would be to look at the source function at different orientations with respect to a high pt particle
Imaging Studies
Source functions extracted for charged pions produced in Au+Au collisions show non-Gaussian tails.
N. N. Ajitanand Jyvaskyla 2007 10
Such a low value is consistent with the observation of substantial elliptic flow and may provide the conditions for a special medium response to hard probes such as Mach flow
R. Lacey et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 98,092301 (2007)
The shear viscosity to entropy ratio (eta /s) is estimated for the hot and dense QCD matter created in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC . A very low value ~0.1 is found which is close to the conjectured lower bound (1/4 pi )
Shear viscosity to Entropy ratio
N. N. Ajitanand Jyvaskyla 2007 11
There is strong evidence to support the view that the medium thermalizes rapidly during the partonic stage and
exhibits a high degree of collectivity.
Study of the medium response to high
pT probes is a natural next step

In relatvistic heavy ion collisions hard parton-parton processes occur early
Following hard collisions, scattered partons propagate through the medium radiating gluons and interacting with partons of the medium
Finally partons fragment, (possibly) outside the medium

Graviton perturbations of AdS_5-Schwarzschild generated by a string trailing behind an external quark moving with constant velocity are studied. Mach cone signals are generated in the medium
Components of the stress tensor exhibit directional structures in Fourier space at both large and small momentum. The Mach cone angle seen is similar to that in the experiment

Expected triplet jet correlation function for Mach flow signal in LHC events
Once hard jet candidates have been identified in a large number of events, the three-particle correlation method can be applied to look for medium modification
N. N. Ajitanand Jyvaskyla 2007 34
Conclusions
The high pt frame is a suitable choice for the study of jet topology via 3-particle correlations
3-particle jet correlations obtained for 200 GeV Au+Au
3-particle correlation without harmonic removal for most central case shows abnormal jet topology
3-particle Jet correlations show strong away side modification
True 3-particle jet correlations validate presence of Mach Cone jets but do not rule out contributions from other topologies.
Method a potential tool for jet study at the LHC
