High $p_T$ jets are known to be strongly modified by the dense, strongly interacting medium created in heavy-ion collisions. The jet signal, extracted from two particle $\Delta\phi$ correlation, shows a systematic evolution of these…

We present two measurements related to jet production in p+p and central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{NN}}$=200 GeV. Firstly, a study of semi-inclusive charged recoil jets coincident with high-$\rm{p_{T}}$ direct-photon and neutral…
We have measured 2D autocorrelations for all charged hadrons in STAR with $p_{t}$ $>$ 0.15 GeV/c and $| \eta |$ $<$ 1 from Au+Au collisions at 62 and 200 GeV. The correlation structure is dominated by a peak centered at zero relative…

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…
