Description
The production of a Z boson provides a clean handle to control the population of events to be studied. By selecting muonic decays of Z bosons, we can isolate the effect of the recoiling process without potential bias from requiring isolation, as is the case for photons. Di-hadron correlations can naturally separate effects from different angular scales. Similar to the energy-energy correlator in jets where perturbative and non-perturbative regimes are separated, by studying analogous correlation in the full event, one can unravel potential larger-scale structures that may arise from the interaction of high-energy recoiling particles with the quark-gluon plasma. This talk will present the first measurement of the energy-weighted di-hadron correlation with the CMS collaboration using events tagged with a Z boson. The result provides interesting insight into the inner workings of the quark-gluon plasma.
