Di-hadron correlations with identified leading hadrons in 200 GeV Au+Au and d+Au collisions at STAR

2015
The STAR Collaboration presents for the first time two-dimensional di- hadroncorrelations with identified leading hadronsin 200 GeV central Au+Au and minimum-bias d+Au collisions to explore hadronizationmechanisms in the quark gluon plasma. The enhancement of the jet-like yield for leading pionsin Au + Au data with respect to the d + Au reference and the absence of such an enhancement for leading non- pions(protons and kaons) are discussed within the context of a quark recombination scenario. The correlated yield at large angles, specifically in the ridge region, is found to be significantly higher for leading non- pionsthan pions. The consistencies of the constituent quark scaling, azimuthal harmonicmodel and a mini-jet modification model description of the data are tested, providing further constraints on hadronization.
