Three-Particle Correlation Measurements at RHIC
Description
Two-particle jet-like correlations have shown medium modification in central Au + Au collisions. This modification can be explained by different physics mechanisms such as: large angle gluon radiation, jets deflected by radial flow or path-length dependent energy loss, Mach-cone shock waves, and Cerenkov gluon radiation. Three-particle correlations can be used to distinguish the mechanisms with conical emission, Mach-cone shock waves and Cerenkov radiation. This paper reviews three 3-particle correlation analyses at RHIC and discuss the physics extracted from them. (author)
