Jet production has long been used as a probe for the hot and dense medium created in collisions of heavy ions at the LHC. As jets traverse the medium, they are expected to lose energy through radiative and collisional processes. These mechanisms are thought to be responsible for the observed suppression of high-pT hadron and jet production, a phenomenon known as "jet quenching". Recent...
We present ongoing efforts to extend the Pythia8 MC event generator to the heavy ion domain. Using the Glauber-Gribov colour fluctuation model, pp collisions are “stacked” to produce heavy ion events. The formalism shows promising results for pA collisions, as well as AA at mid-rapidity. We include medium effects through the microscopic model “Rope Hadronization”, which allows Lund strings to...
Correlations of electroweak probes, jets and charged particles have been proposed as one of the most power tools to study medium modifications of jet fragmentation function. Measurements of jet fragmentation functions provide strong constraints on the jet quenching mechanisms in heavy ion collisions. Latest measurements of photon-tagged jet fragmentation function in pp and PbPb collisions at...
Electromagnetic probes such as photons do not participate in the strong interaction, and thus provide a clean measurement of the initial state in nuclear collisions. Correlations of photons balancing with jets in PbPb collisions constitute the golden channel to study parton energy loss in strongly interacting matter, since the photon not only determines the initial transverse momentum of the...
