Public data from the 2dF quasar survey (2QZ) and 2dF/SDSS LRG & QSO (2SLAQ),with their vast reservoirs of spectroscopically located and identified sources,afford us the chance to more accurately study their real space correlations inthe hopes of identifying the physical processes that trigger quasar activity.We have used these two public databases to measure the projected crosscorrelation, $\omega_p$, between quasars and luminous red galaxies. We find theprojected two-point correlation to have a fitted clustering radius of $r_0, =5.3 \pm 0.6 $ and a slope, $\gamma =1.83 \pm 0.42 $ on scales from0.7-27$h^{-1}$Mpc.  We attempt to understand this strong correlation by separating the LRG sampleinto 2 populations of blue and red galaxies. We measure at the crosscorrelation with each population. We find that these quasars have a strongercorrelation amplitude with the bluer, more recently starforming population inour sample than the redder passively evolving population, which has acorrelation that is much more noisy and seems to flatten on scales $<5h^{-1}$Mpc. We compare this result to published work on hierarchical models.The stronger correlation of bright quasars with LRGs that have undergone arecent burst of starformation suggests that the physical mechanisms thatproduce both activities are related and that minor mergers or tidal effects maybe important triggers of bright quasar activity and/or that bright quasars areless highly biased than faint quasars.
