Jacek Tomasz Otwinowski (Polish Academy of Sciences (PL))02/10/2018, 09:002a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
We present the measurement of charged particle production at mid-rapidity ($|\eta| < 0.9$) in pp ($\sqrt{s}$ = 2.76 TeV, 5.02 TeV), p-Pb ($\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV), Xe-Xe ($\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.44 TeV) and Pb-Pb ($\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV) collisions with ALICE at the LHC. The transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) spectra are measured in the broad range $0.15 < p_{\rm T}...

The spectra of charged particles in XeXe and PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.44$ TeV and $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV, respectively, are presented in six ranges of collision centrality. The PbPb nuclear modification factor is constructed with a measured pp reference, and the XeXe nuclear modification factor is formed with an extrapolated pp reference. Both are found to be heavily...

Measurements of charged-particle production in heavy-ion collisions and their comparison to $pp$ data provide insight into the properties of the quark-gluon plasma. In 2015, the ATLAS detector at the LHC recorded 0.49 nb$^{-1}$ of Pb+Pb collisions and 25 pb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV. In addition, around 3 $\mu$b$^{-1}$ of Xe+Xe...

The $p_\perp$ dependence of the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ measured in PbPb collisions at the LHC exhibits a universal shape, which can be very well reproduced in a simple energy loss model based on the BDMPS medium-induced gluon spectrum. The scaling is observed for various hadron species ($h^\pm$, D, $J/\psi$) in different centrality classes and at both colliding energies, √s=2.76...

Dmitri Peresunko (National Research Centre Kurchatov Institute (RU))02/10/2018, 10:452a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
Neutral mesons, namely neutral pions and $\eta$-mesons, are abundantly produced in AA collisions and can be reconstructed and identified via two-photon decays in wide range of transverse momenta. This makes them excellent probe of the parton energy loss in heavy ion collisions.
Photons in ALICE can be reconstructed via several complementary methods, using either the central tracking system...

Dr Carlota Andres (Jefferson Laboratory)02/10/2018, 11:052a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
The nuclear modification factor, $R_{AA}$, has been satisfactorily described by various jet quenching models. Nonetheless, all these formalisms seemed to underpredict the high $p_T$ ($>10$ GeV/c) elliptic flow, $v_2$. Recently, it has been argued that by the inclusion of event-by-event fluctuations in the soft sector the $R_{AA} - v_2$ problem may be solved. In order to confirm that this is...

Nicholas Elsey (Wayne State University)02/10/2018, 11:251a) Initial state (TALK)
STAR has previously reported significant transverse momentum imbalance of a specific set of di-jets selected with "hard cores", i.e. with a constituent cut of 2 GeV/$c$. After reclustering these same di-jets with a lower constituent cut of 200 MeV/$c$, the di-jet balance is restored to the level of p+p collisions within the original cone size of $R=0.4$.
The interpretation of these results as...

Martin Rohrmoser (Jan Kochanowski University Kielce)02/10/2018, 11:452a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
Energetic heavy quarks passing through the hot and dense medium of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP), represented by the resulting mesons, are viewed as a suitable probe for the interactions inside of the QGP, in particular the mechanisms of energy loss, as they are less likely to thermalize within the medium and are mostly created at early stages of the medium evolution.

Brennan Schaefer (Oak Ridge National Laboratory - (US))02/10/2018, 12:052a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
The production of deuterons in high-energy collisions is particularly sensitive to the space and time evolution of the system, as well as the baryon production and transport mechanisms. Recent ALICE measurements of spectra and anisotropic flow of (anti-)deuterons provide insight into the production mechanisms of particles in heavy-ion collisions thanks to a critical comparison with the...

The two-prong substructure of the leading subjets inside a reconstructed jet opens new windows on precision constraints on the in-medium modification of parton showers. We present the first resumed calculation of the groomed soft-dropped subjet momentum sharing distribution in heavy ion collisions, and demonstrate that both the STAR data at RHIC and the CMS results at LHC can be understood in...

Jasmine Brewer (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)02/10/2018, 14:202a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
Most studies of medium-induced jet modification rely on the comparison of jet properties measured in heavy ion collisions with a proton-proton baseline of the same reconstructed jet $p_T$. Migration of jets from higher to lower $p_T$ due to energy loss, together with the steepness of the jet spectrum, lead to a heavy ion jet sample with a given $p_T$ range which is dominated by the jets that...

Yacine Mehtar-Tani (INT, University of Washington)02/10/2018, 14:402a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
The phenomenon of jet quenching in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions reveals the effect of substantial final state interactions that cause QCD jets to lose energy to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), mainly by induced gluon radiation. In standard analytic approaches to energy loss, jets are approximated by single partons and thus higher-order effects in the strong coupling constant are...

Dr Ning-Bo Chang (Xinyang Normal University)02/10/2018, 15:002a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
With our coupled jet-fluid model [1, 2, 3], we study the nuclear modifications of full jets and jet structures for single inclusive jet, dijet and gamma-jet events in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The evolution of full jet shower is studied via a set of coupled transport equations including the effects of collisional energy loss, transverse momentum broadening and medium-induced splitting...

Sigtryggur Hauksson (McGill University)02/10/2018, 15:202a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
In this talk we study jets in non-equilibrium quark-gluon plasma using new theoretical tools developed for photons [1]. Jets broaden through radiation which is suppressed because of coherent interaction with the medium. We analyze this radiation when the medium is not in thermal equilibrium. Jet observables can then be used to gain direct access to non-equilibrium properties of the QGP, such...

Yue Shi Lai (University of California Berkeley (US))02/10/2018, 15:402a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
Jet substructure analysis has the promise to reveal the details of the QCD shower beyond existing jet cross section and coincidence measurements in hadron collider QCD and heavy-ion. Traditional jet substructure variables have been constructed using expert knowledge, and are largely transplanted, unmodified, from the high-energy physics to heavy-ion, thus inhibiting its performance as a QCD...

Bojana Blagojevic (Institute of Physics Belgrade)02/10/2018, 16:252a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
One of the widely used kinematic assumptions in calculating hard probe radiative energy loss within QGP, is the soft-gluon approximation, which considers that energy loss of the parent parton via gluon's bremsstrahlung is small compared to its initial energy. However, diverse theoretical formalisams obtained a notable energy loss of high $p_{\perp}$ particles, implicitly suggesting inadequacy...

Li Yi (ShanDong University)02/10/2018, 16:452a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
A strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Jets are a good probe of the energy loss properties of the QGP experienced by hard partons traversing the medium. Experimentally we take high transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) trigger particles as proxies of jets. The jet-like yield of high-$p_{T}$ particles found in correlations with respect to highly...

The productions of inclusive b-jet and $b\bar{b}$ dijets in Pb+Pb collisions have been investigated by considering the heavy quark and the light quark in-medium evolution simultaneously. The initial hard processes of inclusive b-jet and $b\bar{b}$ dijets productions are described by a next-to-leading order (NLO) plus parton shower Monte Carlo (MC) event generator SHERPA which can be well...

Mr Florian Senzel (Goethe University Frankfurt)02/10/2018, 17:252a) Jets and high-pT hadrons (TALK)
When traversing hot and dense QCD matter energetic partons lose energy by both elastic collisions and medium-induced gluon radiation. Several analytic calculations of radiative jet energy loss demonstrated the importance of the non Abelian Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect, a coherence effect resulting from the finite formation time of emitted gluons. While in these calculations it is...

We present a novel setup of an antenna splitting inside the medium taking into account the finite formation time of the dipole, which turns out to be an important scale. In particular, we consider the splitting of a color-singlet dipole, studying in detail its formation and subsequent propagation through the medium. We discuss the role of coherence and the relevant time scales which control...

I will present a calculation of jet mass distributions for small-radius jets in proton-proton and heavy ion collisions using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). A process-independent groomed jet mass function is defined which captures the soft-collinear radiation inside jets. The factorization expression simplifies significantly, allowing one to calculate jet mass distributions for jets in...

Although quark/gluon single parton energy loss is theoretically well established and under control by the corresponding Casimir color factor (CF/CA), quark/gluon initiated jets will wash out the corresponding color factor ratio due to the parton shower evolution. As such, for phenomenological studies in heavy-ions, it is not only mandatory to take into account the corresponding deviation from...

We investigate the radiative break-up of a highly energetic quark or gluon in a high-temperature QCD plasma. We find that, as a result of the turbulent nature of the underlying parton cascade the quark to gluon ratio of the soft fragments tends to a universal constant value that is independent of the initial conditions, within an inertial range of momenta T ≪ ω ≪ E, where E denotes the energy...

Recent measurements of jet structure modifications at RHIC and LHC highlight the importance of differential measurements to study the nature of jet quenching.

A consistent modelling of back reaction of the medium on the jet evolution is important for understanding the jet structure. Majority of existing models implement only one-way jet-medium interaction by coupling jets to a fixed hydrodynamic expansion and not including the energy deposition in the medium itself.

Jets are known to be strongly modified when propagating through a hot and dense medium.
