Abstract

PHENIX has measured many different two-particle azimuthal correlations in several different colliding systems, beam energies, pT windows, etc. The initial striking results from the first full energy Au+Au run have been confirmed, i.e. the observation of away-side suppression at intermediate pT and the shape modification at low pT. With the new high-statistics data these results have been extended to further explore the physics resulting in these modified correlations. In this contribution we present a wide variety of correlation results at high-pT (> 5 GeV/c) and at low pT ( 1-4 GeV/c). We discuss the implication of these data on energy loss models and on the possibilities of determining medium properties from these correlations.
