Jet properties from $\pi^{\pm}$ - $h^{\pm}$ correlation in $p+p$ and $d$+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV

Abstract

We review recent results on the charged pion - charged hadron correlation in $p+p$ and $d$ + Au collisions as measured by the PHENIX Collaboration. Properties of di-jet system, such as the jet shape, associated hadron yield per trigger pion, and the underlying event are extracted statistically from the $\pi^{\pm}-h^{\pm}$ correlation function in $\Delta\phi$ and $\Delta\eta$. For jet triggered with high $p_T$ pions ($p_T>5$ GeV/c), no apparent differences in the jet properties are seen between $p+p$ and $d$ + Au.
