A key open question in the study of multi-particle production in high-energy collisions is the relationship between the ``ridge'' - observed azimuthal correlations between particles in the underlying event that extend over all rapidities and hard or semi-hard scattering processes. In particular, it is not known whether jets or their soft fragments are correlated with particles in the...
In ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, the charged ions produce an intense flux of equivalent photons. Photon-induced processes are the dominant interaction mechanism when the colliding nuclei have an impact parameter larger than the nuclear diameter. In these ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs), the photon provides a clean, energetic probe of the partonic structure of the nucleus,...
In ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, large rates of $\gamma\gamma$ processes occur through the interaction of the large electromagnetic fields of the nuclei. These $\gamma\gamma$ interactions enable the study of processes potentially sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. In ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs), characterized by large impact parameter between the nuclei, the...
The measurement of dijets in proton-lead collisions at the LHC offers unique possibilities for investigating both nuclear and nucleon initial state effects as a function of parton scattering kinematics. In particular, color fluctuation effects can significantly alter the average interaction strength of the proton, affecting the number of nucleon-nucleon interactions with the Pb nucleus and,...
