Extraction of Jet Topology Using Three Particle Correlations

  • 1. Department of Chemistry, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794 (United States)

Description

Recent theoretical studies have indicated that the topological features of away-side jet fragments can be significantly altered by medium-induced modifications. The leading candidates resulting from such modifications are Mach Cones and deflected jets. We show that three particle correlations are able to distinguish between these different modification scenarios. Initial results from an application of the method to Au+Au collisions at RHIC (sNN=200 GeV) are presented
