| Abstract | DIHADRON FRAGMENTATION FUNCTIONS IN PROTON+PROTON COLLISIONS AT THE RELATIVISTIC HEAVY ION COLLIDER (RHIC) by MUHAMMAD ELNIMR August 2010 Advisor: Dr. Claude Pruneau Major: High Energy Nuclear Physics Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Measurements of azimuthal correlations at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have shown an away-side that is suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to proton+proton/Deuteron+proton collisions. Such suppression is taken as a signature of the predicted QCD dense medium. However, the near-side of the azimuthal correlations shows little modification. The near-side of such correlations is related to the ratio of the dihadron fragmentation function to the single one. As such, dihadron fragmentation functions shall provide a better basis for the interpretation of the nearside correlations. Dihadron fragmentation functions in p+p collisions also provide a baseline of such measurements in heavy ion collisions. |
