Abstract

We present results on the system size dependence of high transverse momentum di-hadron correlations at sqrt(sN N) = 200   GeV as measured by STAR at RHIC. Measurements in d + Au, Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions reveal similar jet-like near-side correlation yields (correlations at small angular separation - Δ φ{symbol} ∼ 0, Δ η ∼ 0) for all systems and centralities. Previous measurements have shown that the away-side (Δ φ{symbol} ∼ π) yield is suppressed in heavy-ion collisions. We present measurements of the away-side suppression as a function of transverse momentum and centrality in Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions. The suppression is found to be similar in Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions at a similar number of participants. The results are compared to theoretical calculations based on the parton quenching model and the modified fragmentation model. The observed differences between data and theory indicate that the correlated yields presented here will further constrain dynamic energy loss models and provide information about the dynamic density profile in heavy-ion collisions.
