Comparing different freeze-out scenarios in azimuthal hadron correlations induced by fast partons
نویسنده
چکیده
I review the linearized hydrodynamical treatment of a fast parton traversing a perturbative quark-gluon plasma. Using numerical solutions for the medium’s response to the fast parton, I obtain the medium’s distribution function which is then used in a Cooper-Frye freeze-out prescription to obtain an azimuthal particle spectrum. Two different freeze-out scenarios are considered which yield significantly different results. I conclude that any meaningful comparison of azimuthal hadron correlation functions to RHIC data requires implementing a realistic freeze-out scenario in an expanding medium.

On azimuthal spin correlations in Higgs plus jet events at LHC
We consider the recent proposal that the distribution of the difference between azimuthal angles of the two accompanying jets in gluon-fusion induced Higgs-plus-twojet events at LHC reflects the CP of the Higgs boson produced. We point out that the hierarchy between the Higgs boson mass and the jet transverse energy makes this observable vulnerable to logarithmically enhanced higher-order pertu...
متن کاملJet Correlations with Identified Particles from PHENIX : Methods and Results
Azimuthal angle two particle correlations have been shown to be a powerful probe for extracting novel features of the interaction between hard scattered partons and the medium produced in Au+Au collisions at RHIC. At intermediate pT , 2-5GeV/c, the jets have been shown to be significantly modified in both their particle composition and their angular distribution compared to p+p collisions. Addi...

Leading hadron azimuthal angular correlations in the ALICE central barrel are studied with the HIJING event generator employing scenarios with and without inmedium jet quenching. We investigate the potential of leading hadron correlation studies in the high multiplicity environment of a Pb-Pb collision at √ sNN = 5.5 TeV in the central barrel of the ALICE detector.

We utilize a 3D hybrid hydro+micro model for a comprehensive and consistent description of soft and hard particle production in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. In the soft sector we focus on the dynamics of (multi-)strange baryons, where a clear strangeness dependence of their collision rates and freeze-out is observed. In the hard sector we study the radiative energy loss of h...
