The LHCb experiment has the unique property to study heavy ion interactions in the forward and backward hemisphere in a kinematic region not accessible to the general purpose detectors, thanks to its forward acceptance 2<$\eta$<5, and the possibility to study proton-lead collisions for both orientations of the beams. Furthermore, using the possibility to inject gas into the interaction region,...
We present the first official release of the nCTEQ nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) with errors. The main addition to the previous nCTEQ PDFs is the introduction of PDF uncertainties based on the Hessian method. Another important improvement is the inclusion of pion production data from RHIC giving us a handle to constrain gluon PDF. In this presentation we briefly discuss the...
The jet quenching phenomena in heavy ion collisions provide a strong evidence of the modification of parton shower in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Jet substructure observables can probe various aspects of the jet formation mechanism and allow us to study the medium properties in great details. Here we focus on the hard probes using jets and present theoretical calculations of jet shapes and...
