Search for a Ridge Structure Origin with Shower Broadening and Jet Quenching

چکیده
We investigate the role of jet and shower parton broadening by the strong colour field in the ∆η-∆φ correlation of high pT particles. When anisotropic momentum broadening (∆pz > ∆pT ) is given to jet and shower partons in the initial stage, a ridgelike structure is found to appear in the two hadron correlation. The ratio of the peak to the pedestal yield is overestimated.

Jet shapes with the broadening axis
Broadening is a classic jet observable that probes the transverse momentum structure of jets. Traditionally, broadening has been measured with respect to the thrust axis, which is aligned along the (hemisphere) jet momentum to minimize the vector sum of transverse momentum within a jet. In this paper, we advocate measuring broadening with respect to the “broadening axis”, which is the direction...
متن کاملMultiplicity distributions for jet parton showers in a medium
The “jet-quenching” interpretation of suppressed high-pT hadron production at RHIC implies that jet multiplicity distributions and jet-like particle correlations in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC differ strongly from those seen at ee or pp (pp̄) colliders. Here, we present an approach for describing the changes induced by the medium, which implements jet quenching as a probabilistic medium...
متن کاملProbe 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 کاملUnderstanding jet quenching and medium response with di-hadron correlation
A brief review of the pT dependence of the dihadron correlations from RHIC is presented. We attempt to construct a consistent picture that can describe the data as a whole, focusing on the following important aspects, 1) the relation between jet fragmentation of survived jet and medium response to quenched jets, 2) the possible origin of the medium response and its relation to intermediate pT p...
متن کاملDrag and jet quenching of heavy quarks in a strongly coupled N = 2 ∗ plasma
The drag of a heavy quark and the jet quenching parameter are studied in the strongly coupled N = 2∗ plasma using the AdS/CFT correspondence. Both increase in units of the spatial string tension as the theory departs from conformal invariance. The description of heavy quark dynamics using a Langevin equation is also considered. It is found that the difference between the velocity dependent fact...
