| Summary:
We study particle correlations in high energy jets by comparing the measured
energy-energy correlator (EEC) with that constructed from two individual energy
flows with respect to the jet axis. This comparison demonstrates that genuine
correlations exists for small angle and moderate/large angle, indicating that
they are coming from correlated splitting. This method will provide a unique
tool to disentangle different physics, by comparing the genuine correlations in
jet EEC between heavy ion collisions and proton-proton collisions. It will help
to expose the medium modification of parton splitting in hot QCD medium. On the
other hand, the medium responses are expected to be canceled out in the genuine
correlations.
