Probing nuclear matter with jet conversions
We discuss the flavor of leading jet partons as a valuable probe of nuclear matter. We point out that the coupling of jets to nuclear matter naturally leads to an alteration of jet chemistry even at high transverse momentum pT . In particular, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) jets coupling to a chemically equilibrated quark gluon plasma in nuclear collisions will lead to hadron ratios at high trans...
متن کاملProbing cold dense nuclear matter.
The protons and neutrons in a nucleus can form strongly correlated nucleon pairs. Scattering experiments, in which a proton is knocked out of the nucleus with high-momentum transfer and high missing momentum, show that in carbon-12 the neutron-proton pairs are nearly 20 times as prevalent as proton-proton pairs and, by inference, neutron-neutron pairs. This difference between the types of pairs...
متن کاملJet conversions in a quark-gluon plasma
Quark and gluon jets traversing through a quark-gluon plasma not only lose their energies but also can undergo flavor conversions. The conversion rates via the elastic q(q̄)g → gq(q̄) and the inelastic qq̄ ↔ gg scatterings are evaluated in the lowest order in QCD. Including both jet energy loss and conversions in the expanding quark-gluon plasma produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions, we ha...
متن کاملJet Quenching and Radiative Energy Loss in Dense Nuclear Matter
Since June 2000 measurements of Au + Au reactions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) at √ s = 56, 130, 200 AGeV (GeV per nucleon pair) have revealed a variety of novel multiparticle phenomena not observed previously in ee, ep, pp collisions at any energy nor in nuclear collisions at lower (SPS/CERN and AGS/BNL) energies ( √ s = 17, 5 AGeV)....
متن کاملProbing Lorentz Symmetry with Gravitationally Coupled Matter
The Standard Model of particle physics together with Einstein’s General Relativity provide a remarkably successful description of known phenomena. General Relativity describes gravitation at the classical level, while all other interactions are described down to the quantum level by the Standard Model. However, a single quantum-consistent theory at the Planck scale remains elusive. Ideally, exp...
