Bridging the soft and the hard at RHIC
ORAL
Abstract
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 show how strong and sophisticated the coupling between the two is. Experimental results are discussed in the hope to elucidate the connections between the soft and the hard processes.
