> I am pleased to announce STAR's intention to submit a new

> dissipation in Au-Au collisions at roots_NN = 130 GeV"
> to Physical Review Letters one week from today. The title
> and abstract for the paper are enclosed.

> Abstract: We present the first measurements of two-particle
>           correlations on transverse momentum pt for Au-Au
>           collisions at roots_NN = 130 GeV. Significant
>           large-momentum-scale correlation structures are
>           observed for charged primary hadrons with
>           0.15 < pt < 2 GeV/c and pseudorapidity abs(eta)
>           </= 1.3. Such correlations were not observed in a
>           similar study at lower energy and are not predicted
>           by theoretical collision models. The observed
>           correlation structure is consistent with a scenario
>           in which initial-state semi-hard parton scattering
>           and fragmentation are modified by in-medium
>           dissipation.
