Description
As a colorless probe, direct photons balance the
leading order. Direct photon-hadron correlations are thus an excellent probe for
nuclear structure and QCD effects, including parton energy loss in the
Quark-Gluon Plasma.
PHENIX has measured
correlations in a variety of collision systems ranging from p+p to Au+Au at 200
GeV. In p+Au and d+Au collisions, no modification of the per-trigger jet yield or
away-side correlation width compared to p+p collisions is observed for direct
photon triggered correlations while an increase in the away-side width for
