Analysis Method for Jet-Like Three-Particle Azimuthal Correlations
Jason G. Ulery, Fuqiang Wang
Abstract
Jet-like three-particle azimuthal correlations can discriminate various physical scenarios that have been proposed to explain the observed strong modification to two-particle azimuthal correlations. The three-particle correlation analysis is notoriously difficult in heavy-ion collisions due to the large combinatoric backgrounds. We describe the general idea behind the jet-like three-particle azimuthal correlation analysis, with emphasis put on the subtraction of the combinatoric backgrounds. We discuss in detail the various systematic effects in such an analysis.
