We present preliminary results from intermediate $p_T$ (1-5 GeV/c) di-hadron azimuthal correlations induced by hadronic di-jets produced in $AuAu$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV$. The near side ($\Delta\phi\sim 0$) has a typical…

Jet propagation is shown to produce Mach-cone-like medium excitation inside a quark-gluon plasma. However, only deflection of such medium excitation and jet shower partons by radial flow leads to double-peaked dihadron correlation in…
Jet-induced medium excitation is a crucial part of jet interactions with the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and has recently been confirmed by experiment for the first time. Based on the AMPT model…

High transverse momentum ($p_T$) particle production is suppressed due to parton (jet) energy loss in the hot dense medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Redistribution of energy at low-to-modest $p_T$ has been elusive to…
Inclusive Proton/pion ratios show an enhancement at intermediate transverse momentum (P_{T} ~ 1.5 - 4.0 GeV/c) in central sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions compared to peripheral Au+Au and p+p collisions. This effect suggests a…

STAR measurements of dihadron azimuthal correlations ($\Delta\phi$) are reported in mid-central (20-60\%) Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}}=200$ GeV as a function of the trigger particle's azimuthal angle relative to the event…
