Abstract

We study di-hadron correlations in proton-proton collisions at √(s) = 200 GeV and interpret experimental data in terms of a fragmentation width and a momentum imbalance. A fragmentation width of 580 ± 50 GeV/c is obtained, and the measured momentum imbalance gives an `intrinsic' transverse momentum width of partons in the proton of 2.6 ± 0.2 GeV/c. Consequences to heavy ion collisions are discussed.
