Azimuthal Anisotropy and Correlations in the Hard Scattering Regime at RHIC
Azimuthal Anisotropy and Correlations in the Hard Scattering Regime at RHIC
Azimuthal anisotropy (v(2)) and two-particle angular correlations of high p(T) charged hadrons have been measured in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=130 GeV for transverse momenta up to 6 GeV/c, where hard processes are expected to contribute significantly. The two-particle angular correlations exhibit elliptic flow and a structure suggestive of fragmentation of …
