We have measured 2D autocorrelations for all charged hadrons in STAR with $p_{t}$ $>$ 0.15 GeV/c and $| \eta |$ $<$ 1 from Au+Au collisions at 62 and 200 GeV. The correlation structure is dominated by a peak centered at zero relative opening angles on $\eta$ and $\phi$ which we hypothesize is caused by minimum-bias jets (minijets). We observe a large excess of minijet correlations in more-central Au-Au collisions relative to binary-collision scaling (more correlated pairs than expected from surface emission or even volume emission). We also observe a sudden increase of the minijet peak amplitude and $\eta$ width relative to binary-collision scaling of scattered partons which occurs at an energy-dependent centrality point. There is a possible scaling of the transition point with transverse particle density.
