Measurement of medium-induced acoplanarity in central Au-Au and pp collisions at √sNN=200 GeV using direct-photon+jet and 𝜋0+ jet correlations
The STAR Collaboration reports measurements of acoplanarity using semi-inclusive distributions of charged-particle jets recoiling from direct photon and 𝜋0 triggers, in central Au-Au and 𝑝𝑝 collisions at √𝑠NN=200 GeV. Significant medium-induced acoplanarity broadening is observed for large but not...

| Summary: | The STAR Collaboration reports measurements of acoplanarity using semi-inclusive distributions of charged-particle jets recoiling from direct photon and 𝜋0 triggers, in central Au-Au and 𝑝𝑝 collisions at √𝑠NN=200 GeV. Significant medium-induced acoplanarity broadening is observed for large but not small recoil jet resolution parameter, corresponding to recoil jet yield enhancement up to a factor of ≈20 for trigger-recoil azimuthal separation far from 𝜋. This phenomenology is indicative of the response of the quark-gluon plasma to excitation, but not the scattering of jets off of its quasiparticles. The measurements are not well described by current theoretical models which incorporate jet quenching. |
