Correlations between J/ψ and charged hadrons
Chun Zhang / Jiangyong Jia

Motivation how J/ψ is produced
• Gluon Gluon fusion(GG) and Gluon Fragmentation(GF) are the main mechanisms for charm pair(ccbar) production at RHIC energy.
• The produced ccbar needs to radiate gluons in order to get ride of color and to form a J/ψ . It can radiate one hard gluon?(Color Singlet Model) or many soft gluons(Color Octet Model).
• We think we may be able to discriminate these different productions by looking the azimuth correlation between the J/ψ and the hadrons produced in the same collisions, in other words, how the momentum of high pT J/ψ is balanced.

Expectations we need simulations
• If GF+CSM, azimuth correlation on away side, and the peak is expected to be wide, and may not center at 180 degree.• If GF+COM, azimuth correlation on away side and one may see near side peak.• If GG+CSM, azimuth correlation on away side.• If GG+COM, no away side peak, and one may see near side peak.• All above speculations assumes all the particles correlated are from the same collisions. Proton Proton collisions are the best. But dAu and CuCu may doable.

Azimuth Correlation between J/ψ in muon arms and charged hadrons in central arms
• Trigger particle is the J/ψ in muon arms.• Associated particles are the charged hadrons in central arms• Mass widows is from 2.4 to 4.0 GeV. • Hint of away side correlation ?• pT cut for associated particles is 100 MeV/c.• This measurement is sensitive to GF/CSM.• Opposite sign as foreground and same sign as background and correlation function is normalized to per trigger yield.

J (ee) – h correlation
10
• Combined statistics from RUN3 pp and dAu
• Good run list and electron ID cut from analysis note 258
Mass distribution for same sign and opposite sign
• Using the Jpsi candidates in mass widow 3-3.2 GeV to get a good signal/bg ratio
11
• Trigger particle = Jpsi + background, where background can be estimated by like-sign ee pair
• Thus to get the true same event distribution for Jpsi, we need to subtract two correlation function, I.e subtract like-sign – h from Trigger – h distribution
Same event
All triggers
Background triggers
12
• We need to do the similar subtraction for the mixed event pairs
• The mixed event is almost flat due to the decay kinematics (<pT> is small comparing to Jpsi mass)
Mixed event
All triggers
Background triggers
13
• Comparing the Like-sign subtracted foreground and Like-sign subtracted mixed event distribution
• No apparent jet like correlation can be seen.• We would like to go higher pT in both trigger JPsi and associated
hadrons, where the GF contribution is more dominate

Summary
• We are currently statistic limited.
• We would like to study the correlation as function of J/ψ and hadron pT.
• Run5 CuCu, there are ~10000 J/ψ.
• Run5 PP, we look forward !
