Description
Energy correlators are observables that have attracted attention from both collider physics and formal theory. In QCD jets, the two-point energy correlator offers a clean visualization of the confinement transition. I will present a calculation of the two-point correlator in the simplest "hard-wall" holographic model of confinement, with the aim of better understanding confinement through the lens of energy correlators. This is the first AdS/CFT computation of energy correlators in a confining theory.
The results capture some, but not all, of the qualitative features of QCD energy correlators. I will describe some initial progress toward generalizing these results to more sophisticated models of confinement.
