Di-hadron correlations at ISR and RHIC energies

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v2 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

The structure of hadron-hadron correlations is investigated in proton-proton collisions.We focus on the transmission of the initial transverse momenta of partons (``intrinsic kTk_T'') to the hadron-hadron correlations. Values of the intrinsic transverse momentum obtained from experimental correlations are compared to the results of a model with partially randomized parton transverse momenta at ISR and RHIC energies. Procedures for extracting the correlations from data are discussed.
