We review recent measurements of high transverse momentum (high $p_T$) hadron production in nuclear collisions by the STAR Collaboration at RHIC. The previously observed suppression in central Au+Au collisions has been extended to much higher $p_T$. New measurements from d+Au collisions are presented which help disentangle the mechanisms responsible for the suppression. Inclusive single hadron spectra are enhanced in d+Au relative to p+p, while two-particle azimuthal distributions are observed to be similar in p+p, d+Au and peripheral Au+Au collisions. The large suppression of inclusive hadron production and absence of the away-side jet-like correlations in central Au+Au collisions are shown to be due to interactions of the jets with the very dense medium produced in these collisions.
Systematic measurements of pseudorapidity ($Deltaeta$) and azimuthal ($Deltaphi$) correlations between high-$p_t$ charged hadrons in $sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV Au+Au collisions are presented. An enhancement of correlated yield at large $Deltaeta$ on the near-side is observed. This effect persists up to trigger $p_{t}^{trig}$ $sim$ 9 GeV/c, indicating that it is associated with jet production. More detailed analysis suggests distinct short-range and long-range components in the correlation.
We present selected recent results of multi-hadron correlation measurements in azimuth and pseudorapidity at intermediate and high pt{} in Au+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, from the STAR experiment at RHIC. At intermediate pt, measurements are presented that attempt to determine the origin of the associated near-side (small dphi) yield at large pseudo-rapidity difference deta{} that is found to be present in heavy ion collisions. In addition, results are reported on new multi-hadron correlation measures at high-pt{} that use di-hadron triggers and multi-hadron cluster triggers with the goal to constrain the underlying jet kinematics better than in the existing measurements of inclusive spectra and di-hadron correlations.
We report recent results of high-pt measurements in Pb--Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV by the ALICE experiment and discuss the implications in terms of energy loss of energetic partons in the strongly interaction medium formed in the collisions.
In these proceedings, we report on the production of various open heavy-flavor hadrons and quarkonia in Au+Au collisions at sNN = 200GeV from the STAR experiment.
The BRAHMS collaboration ended its data collection program in 2006. We are now well advanced in the analysis of a comprehensive set of data that spans systems ranging in mass from p+p to Au+Au and in energy from $sqrt{s_{NN}} = 62.4$ to 200 GeV. Our analysis has taken two distinct paths: we explore the rapidity dependence of intermediate and high-transverse-momentum, identified-particle production, thus helping to characterize the strongly-interacting quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) formed at RHIC; we also explore particle yields at lower transverse momentum to develop a systematic understanding of bulk particle production at RHIC energies.
