Abstract
Small, but significant non-random fluctuations in event-by-event average have been observed in Au+Au collisions at GeV by the PHENIX collaboration at RHIC. These are consistent with being caused by correlations due to jets at large , where the measured suppression must be included to reproduce the centrality dependence of the non-random fluctuations.
