Abstract

We discussed methods used by the PHENIX to constrain the flow background in the two particle jet correlation. Both the background level and elliptic flow can be reliably decomposed from the jet contribution. We found the jet bias is negligible in PHENIX, when the reaction plane is measured at BBC acceptance (3<|η|<4).
