Three Particle Correlation Functions: A Probe for Mach Cones at RHIC

  • 1. Department of Chemistry, SUNY Stony Brook, Stony Brook New York (United States)

Description

Recent theoretical studies coupled with experimental observations have made away-side jet modification a major theme in the study of medium induced effects at RHIC. Here, we present novel simulation results which point to the use of three-particle azimuthal correlation functions as an important probe for possible 'Mach cone' like emissions of away side jet fragments at RHIC
