Charged hadrons in 0.15<p⊥<4 GeV/c associated with particles of p⊥trig>4 GeV/c are reconstructed in pp and Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV. The associated multiplicity and p⊥ magnitude sum are found to increase from pp to central Au+Au collisions. The associated p⊥ distributions, while similar in shape on the nearside, are significantly softened on the awayside in central Au+Au relative to pp and not much harder than that of inclusive hadrons. The results, consistent with jet quenching, suggest that the awayside fragments approach equilibration with the medium traversed.
