Book excerpt: Azimuthal correlations of charged hadrons with direct-photon ([gamma]dir) and neutral-pion ([pi]0) trigger particles are analyzed in central Au+Au and minimum-bias p+p collisions at $\sqrt{s}$$_{NN}$ =200 GeV in the STAR experiment. The charged-hadron per-trigger yields at mid-rapidity from central Au+Au collisions are compared with p+p collisions to quantify the suppression in Au+Au collisions. The suppression of the away-side associated-particle yields per [gamma]dir trigger is independent of the transverse momentum of the trigger particle (P$trig\atop{T}$, whereas the suppression is smaller at low transverse momentum of the associated charged hadrons (P$assoc\atop{T}$). Within uncertainty, similar levels of suppression are observed for [gamma]dir and [pi]0 triggers as a function of zT ($\equiv$ P$assoc\atop{T}$$/$P$trig\atop{T}$). The results are compared with energy-loss-inspired theoretical model predictions. In conclusion, our studies support previous conclusions that the lost energy reappears predominantly at low transverse momentum, regardless of the trigger energy.
