Influence of quenched jets on di-hadron correlations
  A simple jet absorption model is used to study the influence of hadron pairs produced by quenched jets, on di-hadron angular correlations at intermediate transverse momentum ($p_T$). We demonstrate that such pairs can dominate both the yield and the shape of angular correlations, and may account for the similar properties between the near-side "ridge" and the away-side "double-humped" structure seen in recent data. These hadron pairs also show azimuthal anisotropy which is sensitive to the emission angle of hadrons relative to that of the jet. Measurement of this anisotropy may provide a constraint for elucidating the production mechanism for near- and away-side hadron pairs at intermediate $p_T$.
