We discuss the possibility to observe hadron modification in hot matter via the correlation of identical particles. We find that the hadron modification causes a new type of correlation, back-to-back correlation.
Heavy quarks created in heavy-ion collisions serve as an excellent probe of the produced quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The radiation pattern of jets formed from heavy quarks as they traverse the QGP exhibits a particularly interesting structure…
