Abstract

Nuclear collision experiments exhibit correlations peaked in relative azimuthal angle with a long range in rapidity. Called the ridge, this peak occurs both with and without a jet trigger. We argue that the energy and projectile-mass dependence of the ridge can be described by an early Glasma stage followed by hydrodynamic flow.
