The correlation formed by the ridge particles is generated almost entirely by particles emitted by the same bubble. We have shown in all our pub- lications that the same side correlation signals are almost entirely formed by particles coming from the same bubble. Thus we can predict the shape and the yield of the ridge for the above p t trigger selec- tion and lower cut, by plotting only the correlation coming from pairs of particles that are emitted by the same bubble (see Fig. 13). 

In Ref.[31] it was assumed that the ridge yield was flat across the acceptance while in Fig. 13 we see that this is not the case. Therefore our ridge yield is 

approximately 35% larger than estimated in Ref.[31]. Finally we can plot the jet yield that we had put into our Monte Carlo. We used HIJING[8] to determine the number of expected jets, and then reduced the number of jets by 80%. This assumes that only the parton interactions on or near the surface that form hadrons at kinetic freezeout are not quenched away and thus enter the detector. This 80% reduction is consistent with single π 0 suppression observed in Ref.[16]. This jet yield is plotted in Fig. 14 where we subtracted contributions from the bubbles and the background particles from Fig. 11.
