Abstract: (arXiv)
The yield of charged particles associated with high- trigger particles ( GeV/) is measured with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV relative to proton-proton collisions at the same energy. The conditional per-trigger yields are extracted from the narrow jet-like correlation peaks in azimuthal di-hadron correlations. In the 5% most central collisions, we observe that the yield of associated charged particles with transverse momenta GeV/ on the away-side drops to about 60% of that observed in pp collisions, while on the near-side a moderate enhancement of 20-30% is found.Note:
