Direct Photon-Hadron and Di-Hadron Jet Correlations in RHIC/PHENIX
Content
Direct photon-hadron correlations from photon-jet
pairs are an important tool to study jet energy loss and jet modification in
Heavy Ion collisions since the direct photon escapes the medium
without strong interaction and can act as a control or energy
calibrator to the opposing jet in the same event. Due to the
large background of meson decay photons from di-jets,
measurements are experimentally difficult, and makes comparisions with
hadron-hadron correlations important. Recent new results from the PHENIX experiment
at RHIC
include measurements in a large variety of systems include p+p, p+A,d+A, A+A, with
new techniques for using isolation cuts in A+A being under development.
Implications of these results
and the status of these technical improvements will be discussed.
