Di-jet correlation tomography of ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions

Moderate pT hadrons associated with quenched jets in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC exhibit a puzzling pattern of correlations as a function of rapidity and azimuthal angle (the near side rapidity Ridge the away side Mach like double shoulder features). These patterns are expected to provide detailed differential in pT information about the response of the strongly coupled Quark Gluon Plasma (sQGP) to rare but well calibrated high pT jets. This talk presents an overview of current pQCD and AdS/CFT jet tomography models and possible interpretations of these observations.
