Angular correlations measured in \pp and heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) include a same-side (SS) 2D peak. In peripheral \aa and p-p collisions the SS peak properties are consistent with predicted…
A same-side (SS, on azimuth $\phi$) 2D peak in measured angular correlations from 200 GeV \pp collisions exhibits properties expected for jet formation. In more-central \auau collisions the SS peak becomes elongated on pseudorapidity $\eta$…
A Glasma flux-tube model has been proposed to explain strong elongation on pseudorapidity $\eta$ of the same-side 2D peak in minimum-bias angular correlations from $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV \auau collisions. The same-side peak or "soft…
An $\eta$-elongated same-side 2D peak ("soft ridge") in minimum-bias angular correlations from heavy ion collisions has been attributed both to jet formation and to initial-state geometry structure coupled to radial flow. We consider…
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider experiments exhibit correlations peaked in relative azimuthal angle and extended in rapidity. Called the ridge, this peak occurs both with and without a jet trigger. We argue that the untriggered ridge arises…
Correlation measurements indicate that excess two particle correlations extend over causally disconnected rapidity ranges. Although, this enhancement is broad in relative rapidity $\eta=\eta_1 - \eta_2$, it is focused in a narrow region in…

We argue that "ridge" in 2-particle correlation function associated with hard trigger at RHIC heavy ion collisions is naturally explained by an interrelation of jet quenching and hydrodynamical transverse flow. The excess particles forming…
We present preliminary results from di-hadron correlations in azimuth (phi) and pseudo-rapidity (eta) induced by hadronic di-jets produced in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV. The jet-like near-side peak has been isolated from…
Two-particle angular correlation measurements are sensitive probes of the interactions of particles with the medium formed in heavy-ion collisions. Such measurements are done by determining the distribution of the relative pseudorapidity…
I discuss the ridge phenomena observed in heavy ion collisions at RHIC. I argue that the ridge may be due to flux tubes formed from the Color Glass Condensate in the early Glasma phase of matter produced in such collisions
Angular di-hadron correlations reveal novel structures in central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{S_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. One of them, known as the ridge, is elongated in pseudo rapidity and peaks on the near side ($\Delta\phi$ $\approx$ 0).…
We investigate the consequences of long range rapidity correlations in the Glasma. Particles produced locally in the transverse plane are correlated by approximately boost invariant flux tubes of longitudinal color electric and magnetic…

I propose a simple explanation of the ``ridge'' seen in the near-side jet two-particle correlation function in heavy ion collisions at RHIC. This could be a cumulative shock wave produced in liquid-like matter by an energetic stopped…
