Abstract:
Elliptic flow of jet triggered events in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC energies.
Correlations between final-state hadrons at intermediate transverse momentum (1.0 GeV/c < pt < 4.0 GeV/c) help
in probing the medium created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions.We analyze the flow vector for all low
pt tracks from AuAu 200GeV collisions in events that are required to have two tracks at
intermediate pt .. We note that the flow vector varies in a non-trivial way depending on
the phi difference between the high pt tracks. This variation can arise from interactions of the
jet with the medium or if correlations are created by strong flow. We discuss the progress
in extracting v2 and non-flow from our data and systematic uncertainties from the two-component model and
ZYAM(Zero Yields at Minimum).
