Parallel Session VI: Jet Modification in A+A (IV)
- Toru Sugitate (Hiroshima University (JP))
Light quark and gluon jet quenching in heavy ion collisions is described within the overwhelming majority of models as resulting predominantly from pQCD-type gluon radiation,
but details of the underlying mechanisms differ greatly.
One key difference lies in the treatment of the Altarelli-Parisi, AP, splitting functions.
While in some models, such as Q-PYTHIA, the splitting functions are...
One of the central questions in heavy ion physics is how the deconfined QCD matter produced early in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions (HIC) relaxes to thermal equilibrium. This problem proved to be rich, involving a variety of phenomena such as plasma instabilities, chaoticity, turbulence, hydrodynamization in strongly/weakly coupled plasmas, etc. However, a complete understanding of...
The structures of jets in heavy ion collisions are significantly modified by strong interactions with quark-gluon plasma (QGP) during the propagation, i.e., collisional energy loss, transverse momentum broadening and induced parton radiation. Through the collisional energy loss and the transverse momentum broadening of the jets, the energy and momentum are deposited into the QGP and induce...
We study the evolution of full jets in quark-gluon plasma (QGP) via solving a set of coupled differential transport equations for the three-dimensional
momentum distributions of quarks and gluons contained in the full jet shower. In our jet evolution equations, we include all partonic splitting processes in the dense nuclear medium. We also include the collisional energy loss and transverse...
