Eric Andrew Appelt (Vanderbilt University (US))20/05/2014, 09:20JetsContributed TalkOne of the signatures of the strongly interacting medium produced in central PbPb collisions is the suppression of high-$p_{\rm T}$ jets and charged particles. In order to to disentangle the initial state and final state effects in heavy ion collisions, the nuclear modification factor of both jets and of charged-particles in pPb ($R_{\rm pPb}$) and PbPb ($R_{\rm PbPb}$) collisions are...Go to contribution page

Salvatore Aiola (Yale University (US))20/05/2014, 09:40JetsContributed TalkHard-scattered partons provide an ideal probe for the study of the Quark-Gluon Plasma because they are produced prior to the formation of the QCD medium in heavy-ion collisions. Early measurements conducted at RHIC experiments have provided compelling evidence of jet quenching. In more recent years LHC experiments have confirmed these observations at a higher collisional energy, which allows...Go to contribution page

Aaron Angerami (Columbia University (US))20/05/2014, 10:00JetsContributed TalkHighly energetic jets produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions provide an important tool to study the QCD medium created in these collisions. These jets suffer energy loss and modification of their parton shower through interactions with the mediumโ a phenomenon known as jet quenching. A generic feature of such energy loss is the reduction in jet production rates. In this talk, new...Go to contribution page

Korinna Christine Zapp (CERN)20/05/2014, 10:20JetsContributed TalkWe investigate both the medium-induced modifications of jets and the jet-induced modifications of the medium in heavy ion collisions at LHC energies with JEWEL. JEWEL is a fully microscopic Monte Carlo event generator for jet evolution in a dense medium relying on perturbative concepts, that can take any model of the medium as input. We present a detailed comparison between a full viscous...Go to contribution page

Marco Panero (IFT UAM/CSIC)20/05/2014, 11:10JetsContributed TalkWe present a lattice study of the momentum broadening experienced by a hard parton in the quark-gluon plasma. In particular, the contributions to this real-time phenomenon from soft modes are extracted from a set of gauge-invariant operators in a dimensionally reduced effective theory (electrostatic QCD), which can be simulated on a Euclidean lattice. At the temperatures accessible to present...Go to contribution page

Xianguo Lu (Ruprecht-Karls-Universitaet Heidelberg (DE))20/05/2014, 14:20JetsContributed TalkJets are defined in QCD as cascades of consecutive emission of partons from an initial hard scattering. The process of parton showering and subsequent hadronisation is broadly known as fragmentation.

Xiaoming Zhang (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (US))20/05/2014, 15:20JetsContributed TalkProperties of the hot and dense strongly interacting matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions can be studied using jets. Hadronization processes occurring in jets are expected to be modified by the interaction of partons with the medium.

Abhijit Majumder (Wayne state university)20/05/2014, 15:40JetsContributed TalkJet modification measurements to date are carried out by comparing a surviving jet, exiting a dense medium, with a vacuum (unmodified) jet at the same energy. We propose an extension to classify jet modification in heavy-ion collisions by also including the jet mass. The mass of a jet, as measured by jet reconstruction algorithms, is intimately connected to the jet's virtuality (or scale),...Go to contribution page

Martin Rybar (Charles University (CZ))21/05/2014, 09:20JetsContributed TalkHighly energetic jets produced in nuclear collisions are considered to be a direct probe of hot and dense medium created in the collision. The jet measurements both at LHC and RHIC indicate a presence of "jet quenching" - strong energy loss of fast partons in the hot and dense QCD medium.

Joern Putschke (Wayne State University)21/05/2014, 09:40JetsContributed TalkThe measurement of fully reconstructed jets in heavy ion collisions provides unique probes of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). However, full jet reconstruction in such events is challenging due to a large population of combinatorial background "jets" that overwhelm the true hard jet population by several orders of magnitude. In order to carry out accurate, data-driven jet measurements...Go to contribution page

Mr Tan Luo (Central China Normal University)21/05/2014, 10:00JetsContributed TalkA Linearized Boltzmann Transport model is developed for the study of parton propagation inside quark-gluon plasma. The leading partons, thermal recoiled partons and radiated gluons are all tracked so that one can also study jet-induced medium excitation.

Richard Alexander Barbieri (Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (US))21/05/2014, 10:20JetsContributed TalkStudies of dijet and photon-jet properties in pPb collisions are of great importance to establish a QCD baseline for hadronic interactions with cold nuclear matter.

Kurt Eduard Jung (Purdue University (US))21/05/2014, 11:10JetsContributed TalkThe energy loss of jets in heavy-ion collisions is expected to depend on the flavor of the fragmenting parton. Thus, measurements of jet quenching as a function of flavor place powerful constraints on the thermodynamical and transport properties of the hot and dense medium. Measurements of the nuclear modification factors of the heavy-flavor-tagged jets in both PbPb and pPb collisions can...Go to contribution page

Dr Konrad Tywoniuk (Universitat de Barcelona)21/05/2014, 11:30JetsContributed TalkWe study the modifications of jets created in heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. The inherent hierarchy of scales governing the jet evolution allows to distinguish a leading jet structure, which interacts coherently with the medium as a single color charge, from softer sub-structures that will be sensitive to effects of color decoherence. We argue how this separation comes about and show...Go to contribution page

Daniel Pablos (Universitat de Barcelona)21/05/2014, 12:30QCD at High Temperature and/or DensityContributed TalkWe propose and explore a new hybrid approach to jet energy loss in a strongly coupled medium. The basis of this phenomenological approach is to treat physics processes at different energy scales differently. The high-$Q^2$ processes associated with the QCD evolution of the jet from the hard production up to hadronization are treated perturbatively, following DGLAP evolution, to which we...Go to contribution page

Hongxi Xing (LANL)21/05/2014, 12:50New Theoretical DevelopmentsContributed TalkThere have been a lot of efforts focused on qualitative and quantitative studies of the properties of the sQGP through jet quenching. However, it is not clear whether the properties of the medium such as the jet transport parameter as probed by a propagating jet is unique and intrinsic to the medium, independent of the hard processes that produce the energetic jets. This is a problem of...Go to contribution page
