Abstract

Small, but significant non-random fluctuations in event-by-event average pT have been observed in Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV by the PHENIX collaboration at RHIC. These are consistent with being caused by correlations due to jets at large pT, where the measured suppression must be included to reproduce the centrality dependence of the non-random fluctuations.
