Two parts to this title:
Jets and Correlation
Hard scattering is involved.
Jets
pT > 2 GeV/c,
The conventional wisdom is that when
then jets are produced.
But that does not mean that the hard parton fragments. Recombination has been found to be important at intermediate pT, where most correlation data exist.

J/R ~ 10% for 1<pt(assoc)<2 GeV/c suggests dominance of soft partons that are not part of the ‘jet’ in the numerator.Yet the ridge wouldn’t be there without hard parton, so it is a part of the jet in the broader sense.

triggered events:
Phantom jet is the only way to understand the problem.
The existence of associated particles falsifies our earlier prediction.

QuickTime™ and aTIFF (LZW) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Since shower s quark is suppressed in hard scattering, is produced by recombination of thermal partons, hence exponential in pT.Normally, thermal partons have no associated particles distinguishable from the background.
But if the s quarks that form the are from the ridge, then can have associated particles above the background, while having exponential pT distribution.
The phantom jet is like a blind boy feeling the leg of an elephant and doesn’t know that it belongs to an elephant. Low pt(trig) and low pt(assoc) suppress the peak above the ridge, and do not show the usual properties of a jet, yet the jet is there, just as the phantom elephant is to a short blind person.

If initial transverse broadening of parton gives more hadrons at high pT, then
• backward has no broadening
• forward has more transverse broadening

Two-jet recombination at LHC
New feature at LHC: density of hard partons is high.
High pT jets may be so dense that neighboring jet cones may overlap.
If so, then the shower partons in two nearby jets may recombine.

There should be no observable jet structure distinguishable from the

10 < pT < 20 GeV/c
But they are part of the background of an ocean of hadrons from other jets.
If this prediction is verified, one has to go to pT(assoc)>>20 GeV/c to do jet tomography.
What happens to Mach cone, etc?

Conclusion
Many correlation phenomena related to associated particles observed at moderate pT can be understood in terms of recombination.
However, there remains a lot to be explained.
More dramatic phenomena may show up at LHC, but then the medium produced may be sufficiently different to require sharper probes.
We have learned a lot from experiments at SPS, RHIC, and soon from LHC.
At each stage the definition of a jet has changed from >2 to >8 to >20 GeV/c.
What kind of correlation is interesting will also change accordingly.
Beyond what is known about jet quenching, not much has been learned so far about the dense medium from studies of correlation in jets.
