Two particle azimuthal correlations in $Cu+Cu$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV$ at RHIC

Two particle correlations should yield information about jet quenching and production mechanisms at RHIC energies. They have already been studied extensively at RHIC in $Au+Au, d+Au$, and $p+p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV $. Two particle azimuthal correlations in Cu+Cu collisions in the STAR detector at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV $ using $\Lambda, \bar{\Lambda},$ and $K^0_S$ trigger particles are presented. Dependence of the near side peak on centrality and transverse momentum is investigated. Comparisons between baryons and mesons and between particles and antiparticles are made.
