Alignment of jet propagation and medium flow produces the ridge.

If correct, would produce measureable asymmetry in near-side ridge correlation peak.

Summary and open questions• Conical emission of correlated particles.

Medium response to hard probes. Suggests Mach cone shock waves.– What distortion to Mach angle by medium? – How to extract speed of sound? EOS?

• Ridge is uniform in pseudo-rapidity.Likely medium itself at early time.– Is it due to color flux tubes?– What additional work to falsify this and other

models, or learn something from them?
