Description
We present a systematic study of correlations in pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle for charged high transverse momentum hadrons in heavy-ion collisions at the top RHIC energy within the Parton-Hadron-String-Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach. The study shows that a significant part (60%) of the high-pT hadron attenuation seen experimentally can be attributed to inelastic interactions of 'leading' pre-hadrons with the dense hadronic environment. The presence of partonic phase leads to larger suppression of 'far-side' correlations which agrees with available data. We find also a fair description of the elliptic flow of charged hadrons as a function of the energy of the reaction, its centrality and the transverse momentum pT within PHSD approach. Furthermore, an approximate quark-number scaling of the elliptic flow v2 of hadrons is observed in the PHSD results, too. Thus we conclude that partonic phase plays significant role for the both: high-pT correlations and collective flow.
