The azimuthal width of the di-hadron correlations in p$+$p collisons, beyond the fragmentation transverse momentum, $j_T$, is dominated by $k_T$, the so-called intrinsic transverse momentum of a parton in a nucleon, which can be measured.…
We compare an analytic model of jet quenching, based on the GLV non-Abelian energy loss formalism, to numerical results for the centrality dependent suppression of hadron cross sections in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at RHIC. Simulations of…
PHENIX has measured the centrality dependence of charged hadron p_T spectra from central Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=130 GeV. The truncated mean p_T decreases with centrality for p_T > 2 GeV/c, indicating an apparent reduction of the…
Full jet reconstruction in heavy-ion collisions enables a complete study of the modification of jet structure due to energy loss in hot and dense QCD matter, but is challenging due to the high multiplicity environment. The STAR and PHENIX…

We study the suppression of high-pT hadron spectra in nuclear collisions, supplementing the perturbative QCD factorized formalism with radiative parton energy loss. We find that the nuclear modification factor which quantifies the degree of…
At RHIC, a suppression, $R_{AA}\approx 0.2$ relative to binary-scaling, for $\pi^0$ with $5\leq p_T\leq 20$ GeV/c was discovered in central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, and surprisingly also for single-electrons from the…
