Description
A comparison of azimuthal di-hadron correlation yield ratios is made between a simple rescattering model and experimental p+p and Pb+Pb data taken with the ALICE detector at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76TeV. Event by event azimuthal correlations are created from hadrons associated with high-$p_T$ trigger particles, producing peaks in the per-trigger associated multiplicity distribution at $\Delta\phi=0,\pi$ which is evidence of a jet-like behavior. The integrated yield of the front and back peaks is taken for p+p and various centralities of Pb+Pb collisions. Ratios of these yields are made between Pb+Pb and p+p, the results of which are compared to similar measurements done at ALICE.
