11. Fragmentation to a jet with small radius and in the large $z$ limit

Lin Dai (University of Pittsburgh)

14/03/2017, 10:50

We introduce the jet fragmentation function (JFF) to describe the fragmentation of a parton into a jet, and discuss how these objects are related to the standard jet functions. Calculating the JFF to next-to-leading order, we show that these objects satisfy the standard DGLAP evolution equations, with a natural scale that depends upon $R$. By using standard renormalization group evolution, we...

18. Probing Quarkonium Production in Jets using Effective Field Theories

Reggie Bain

14/03/2017, 11:30

This talk will discuss recent attempts to study the long-outstanding quarkonium polarization puzzle by studying the production of the $J/\psi$ meson within jets at high transverse momentum. The talk will introduce the basics of how quarkonia are studied in the Non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) framework and how, in the context of SCET factorization theorems for jet cross-sections, the Fragmenting...
