Energy and system dependence of high-$p_T$ triggered two-particle near-side correlations

Previous studies have indicated that the near-side peak of high-$p_T$ triggered correlations can be decomposed into two parts, the $\mathit{\text{Jet}}$ and the $\mathit{\text{Ridge}}$. We present data on the yield per trigger of the $\mathit{\text{Jet}}$ and the $\mathit{\text{Ridge}}$ from $d+Au$, $Cu+Cu$ and $Au+Au$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 62.4 GeV and 200 GeV and compare data on the $\mathit{\text{Jet}}$ to PYTHIA 8.1 simulations for $p+p$. PYTHIA describes the $\mathit{\text{Jet}}$ component up to a scaling factor, meaning that PYTHIA can provide a better understanding of the $\mathit{\text{Ridge}}$ by giving insight into the effects of the kinematic cuts. We present collision energy and system dependence of the $\mathit{\text{Ridge}}$ yield, which should help distinguish models for the production mechanism of the $\mathit{\text{Ridge}}$.
