Minijets and their Interactions

Trainor 2

Agenda• Minijets in p-p spectra and correlations

• Minijets in A-A spectra and correlations

• Parton energy loss and QCD at small Q

• Minijets in pt fluctuations and correlations

restoring QCD to small-pt hadron physics

At what energy scale doesparton scattering and fragmentation stop?

Are A-A collisions thermalized?

Does hydro dominate?

Spectrum Summary

• Spectra have two primary components

• Nucleon and parton fragmentation dominate

• Deviations from reference: parton energy loss

• Hydrodynamics plays no evident role

The View from the Ridge• p/ππππspectrumanomaly is part of fragmentation

• Related π/π/π/π/p spectrum anomaly is larger!

• Jet “ridge” is the samefragmentation anomaly

• The “ridge” is not an isolated entity

• What evidenceexists for a unique “medium”
