Abstract: (arXiv)
We report the first three-particle coincidence measurement in pseudorapidity (Δη\Delta\eta) between a high transverse momentum (pp_{\perp}) trigger particle and two lower pp_{\perp} associated particles within azimuth \midΔϕ\Delta\phi\mid<0.7 in sNN\sqrt{{\it s}_{NN}} = 200 GeV dd+Au and Au+Au collisions. Charge ordering properties are exploited to separate the jet-like component and the ridge (long-range Δη\Delta\eta correlation). The results indicate that the particles from the ridge are uncorrelated in Δη\Delta\eta not only with the trigger particle but also between themselves event-by-event. In addition, the production of the ridge appears to be uncorrelated to the presence of the narrow jet-like component.
