Description

Measurements from RHIC at intermediate $p_T$ of 2-6 GeV/c revealed many features in various single particle and two particle correlation observables. These measurements not only suggest the leading roles of collective flow and jets in this $p_T$ region, but also establish a strong and sophisticated coupling between the two. Experimental results are discussed in the hope to elucidate the connections between the soft and the hard processes.
