Description

Energy correlators inside of high energy jets provide a powerful tool to image the intrinsic and emergent angular scales of QCD. They have the potential to provide unprecedented insight on the interplay between vacuum scales inside of a jet and its medium modification. However, as with traditional jet substructure, experimentally these correlators will mix different angular features associated with quark and gluon jets. We show that energy correlators of jets containing a gluon splitting to heavy quarks can resolve this problem, by providing clean experimental access to two- and three-point correlators with known parton flavors through jets tagged with heavy hadrons. We demonstrate the unique capabilities of this process for two- and three-point energy correlators for the gluon splitting to heavy quarks in vacuum, and calculate the medium modification of the two-point correlator.
