Phenomenological Relationship between the Ridge and Inclusive Distributions

Nuclear Theory 2010-12-17 v1 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

A relationship between the ridge distribution in Δη\Delta\eta and the single-particle distribution in η\eta is proposed. It is then verified by use of the data from PHOBOS on both distributions. The implication seems to point to the possibility that there is no long-range longitudinal correlation. An interpretation of the phenomenological observation along that possibility is developed.
