Probing jet properties via two particle correlation method
The formulae for calculating jet fragmentation momentum, , and conditional yield are discussed in
two particle correlation framework. Additional corrections are derived to
account for the limited detector acceptance and inefficiency, for cases when
the event mixing technique is used. The validity of our approach is confirmed
with Monte-carlo simulation.Comment: Proceeding for HotQuarks2004 conference. 11 pages, 8 figures,

Large Angle Hadron Correlations from Medium-Induced Gluon Radiation
Final state medium-induced gluon radiation in ultradense nuclear matter is
examined and shown to favor large angle emission when compared to vacuum
bremsstrahlung due to the suppression of collinear gluons. Perturbative
expression for the contribution of its hadronic fragments to the back-to-back
particle correlations is derived. It is found that in the limit of large jet
energy loss gluon radiation determines the yield and angular distribution of |
Delta phi | > Pi/2 di-hadrons to transverse momenta pT2 of the associated
particles. Clear transition from enhancement to suppression of the away-side
hadron correlations is established at moderate pT2 and its experimentally
accessible features are predicted versus the trigger particle momentum pT1.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures. Figures 1 and 2 and some of the text revised.

Different fractal properties of positive and negative returns
We perform an analysis of fractal properties of the positive and the negative
changes of the German DAX30 index separately using Multifractal Detrended
Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA). By calculating the singularity spectra
we show that returns of both signs reveal multiscaling. Curiously,
these spectra display a significant difference in the scaling properties of
returns with opposite sign. The negative price changes are ruled by stronger
temporal correlations than the positive ones, what is manifested by larger
values of the corresponding H\"{o}lder exponents. As regards the properties of
dominant trends, a bear market is more persistent than the bull market
irrespective of the sign of fluctuations.Comment: presented at FENS2007 conference, 8 pages, 4 Fig
