Measurements & Observables
- Andreas Korn (University College London (GB))
High-energy collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provide valuable insights into open questions in particle physics. However, detector effects must be corrected before measurements can be compared to certain theoretical predictions or measurements from other detectors. Methods to solve this inverse problem of mapping detector observations to theoretical quantities of the underlying...
The radiation pattern within quark- and gluon-initiated jets (jet substructure) is used extensively as a precision probe of the strong force and for optimizing event generators for particle physics. Jet substructure measurements in electron-proton collisions are of particular interest as many of the complications present at hadron colliders are absent.
In this contribution, a detailed study...
Experimental data on a wide range of jet observables measured in heavy ion collisions provide a rich picture of the modification of jets as perturbative probes and of the properties of the created quark-gluon plasma. However, their interpretation is often limited by the assumptions of specific quenching models, and it remains a challenge to establish model-independent statements about the...
Progress in the theoretical understanding of parton branching dynamics that occurs within an expanding QGP relies on detailed and fair comparisons with experimental data for reconstructed jets. Such validation is only meaningful when the computed object, be it analitically or via event generation, accounts for the complexity of experimentally reconstructed jets. The reconstruction of jets in...
