Previous studies have indicated that the near-side peak of high-pT triggered di-hadron correlations can be decomposed into two parts, a jet-like correlation and the ridge. We present data from Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(sNN)=62 and…

Effects of strangeness on nuclear modification in d-Au and Au-Au collisions at 200 GeV are studied, in order to quantify the effects of quark content and mass. Measurements of ratios of the yields in central collisions to the yields in…
Previous results indicated that high $p_T$ particle suppression in Au+Au interactions is a final state effect, since R$_{dA}$ ratios were compatible with unity, albeit within large experimental errors. It is important to test this…
