Understanding jet quenching and medium response with di-hadron correlation

Abstract

A brief review of the $p_T$ dependence of the dihadron correlations from RHIC is presented. We attempt to construct a consistent picture that can describe the data as a whole, focusing on the following important aspects, 1) the relation between jet fragmentation of survived jet and medium response to quenched jets, 2) the possible origin of the medium response and its relation to intermediate $p_T$ physics for single hadron production, 3) the connection between the near-side ridge and away-side cone, 4) and their relations to low energy results.
