چکیده

Abstract. High pT single and dihadron production is studied within a NLO pQCD parton model with jet quenching in high energy A + A collisions at the RHIC/LHC energy. A simultaneous χ-fit to both single and dihadron spectra can be achieved within a narrow range of energy loss parameter. Punch-through jets are found to result in the dihadron suppression factor slightly more sensitive to medium than the single hadron suppression factor at RHIC. Such jets at LHC are found to dominate high pT dihadron production and the resulting dihadron spectra are more sensitive to the initial parton distribution functions than the single hadron spectra.

Jet areas as a tool for background subtraction

In all modern hadronic colliders, jets recieve a large contribution from a soft background: pileup in the case of proton-proton collisions at the LHC, or the underlying event for heavy-ion collisions at RHIC or the LHC. In these proceedings, we present a generic and simple method, based on jet areas, to subtract the contribution of the soft background from the jets. This allows for more precise...

Simulation of jet quenching and high-pT particle production at RHIC and LHC

The model to simulate rescattering and partonic energy loss in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is presented. The full heavy ion event is obtained as a superposition of a soft hydro-type state and hard multi-jets. This model is capable of reproducing main features of the jet quenching pattern at RHIC, and is applied to probe jet quenching in various novel channels at LHC.

Hydrodynamic Flow and Jet Induced Mach Shocks at RHIC and LHC

We discuss the present collective flow signals for the phase transition to quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the collective flow as a barometer for the equation of state (EoS). A study of Mach shocks induced by fast partonic jets propagating through the QGP is given. We predict a significant deformation of Mach shocks in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC and LHC energies as compared to the case of je...

The initial energy density of gluons produced in very high energy nuclear collisions Alex

In very high energy nuclear collisions, the initial energy of produced gluons per unit area per unit rapidity, dE/L/dη, is equal to f(gμL) (gμ)/g, where μ is proportional to the gluon density per unit area of the colliding nuclei. For an SU(2) gauge theory, we perform a non–perturbative numerical computation of the function f(gμL). It decreases rapidly for small gμL but varies only by ∼ 25%, fr...
