Probe Initial Parton Density and Formation Time via Jet Quenching
Medium modification of jet fragmentation function due to multiple scattering and induced gluon radiation leads directly to jet quenching or suppression of leading particle distribution from jet fragmentation. One can extract an effective total parton energy loss which can be related to the total transverse momentum broadening. For an expanding medium, both are shown to be sensitive to the initi...
متن کاملJet quenching as a probe of gluon plasma formation
We study, in a pQCD calculation augmented by nuclear effects, the jet energy loss needed to reproduce the π spectra in Au+Au collisions at large pT , measured by PHENIX at RHIC. The transverse width of the parton momentum distributions (intrinsic kT ) is used phenomenologically to obtain a reliable baseline pp result. Jet quenching is applied to the nuclear spectra (including shadowing and mult...
متن کاملJet quenching via jet collimation
The strong modifications of dijet properties in heavy ion collisions measured by ATLAS and CMS provide important constraints on the dynamical mechanisms underlying jet quenching. In this work, we show that the transport of soft gluons away from the jet cone — jet collimation — can account for the observed dijet asymmetry with values of q̂ L that lie in the expected order of magnitude. Further, w...
متن کاملJet physics and initial-state QCD parton showers
We discuss methods of parton branching to treat corrections to QCD showers beyond the collinear ordering approximation in hadronic collisions at high energies. We illustrate the role of finite-angle gluon radiation for angular and momentum correlations in multi-jet final states, and describe applications to forward jets at the LHC.
متن کاملJet Quenching
High-pt particles produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions constitute a powerful tool to study the medium properties. The energy loss resulting from the propagation of these particles in the produced medium translates into a suppression of the high-pt yields. These effects are usually associated to medium-induced gluon radiation which, in turn, predicts a broadening of the jet-like signals. Both ...
