Abstract
From the correlation structure of transverse momentum in relativistic nuclear collisions we observe for the first time temperature/velocity structure resulting from low- partons. Our novel analysis technique does not invoke an {\em a priori} jet hypothesis. autocorrelations derived from the scale dependence of fluctuations reveal a complex parton dissipation process in RHIC heavy ion collisions. We also observe structure which may result from collective bulk-medium recoil in response to parton stopping.
