Recoil Response to Parton Stopping Same-side Medium Recoil Summary• Net-charge correlations reveal changing dimension of
hadronization geometry – large-amplitude correlations
• Number correlations on pt, yt reveal medium response to parton dissipation – thermal/velocity structure on (η,φη,φη,φη,φ)
• pt correlations on (η,φη,φη,φη,φ) inferred from ����pt���� fluctuations reveal recoil response of the medium to parton stopping

Au-Au CD Correlations – 62 GeV Interpretation Low-Q2 partons probe the Au-Au Medium
Properties of the Bulk Medium p-p CD Correlations – 200 GeV Au-Au CD Correlations – 130 GeV
Interpretation �pt� Fluctuations and pt Correlations pt Correlations: Model Fits
what is the geometry of the hadronization process?what is the local velocity structure of the mediumin response to parton dissipation (bremsstrahlung)?
what is the collective response of the medium toparton stopping? each question can be addressedwith two-particle number or pt correlations
Transverse-momentum correlations on pseudorapidity and azimuth sug-
gest that the bulk medium recoils collectively in response to parton stop-ping. Charge-dependent number correlations reveal qualitative change of
hadronization geometry with centrality: from 1D string fragmentation inp-p to 2D bulk fragmentation in Au-Au collisions.

Correlation measurements with hadron pt < 2 GeV/c in Au-Au collisions
at 130 GeV has provided qualitatively new information about heavy ioncollisions [1]. We now present a broad survey of two-particle number and
transverse-momentum correlations from Au-Au collisions at 62, 130 and200 GeV which probe dynamical properties of the dissipative bulk medium.
Charge-independent number correlations on transverse rapidity reveal thetemperature/velocity structure resulting from parton dissipation.
