Title: Can we observe jet P_T-broadening in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC?

Abstract

We investigate the effect of P_T-broadening on jet substructure observables in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. As an example, we focus on the opening angle of the two branches that satisfy the soft drop grooming condition in a highly energetic jet. The medium modification of the angular distribution can provide important information on the jet transport properties of hot QCD matter. In addition, we take into account a change of the overall fraction of quark and gluon jets in heavy-ion collisions. We comment on the comparison to a recent measurement from the ALICE Collaboration.

QCD factorization and universality of jet cross sections in heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Qiu, Jian-Wei ; Ringer, Felix ; Sato, Nobuo ; ... - Nuclear Physics. A

In this work, we review a recently proposed phenomenological framework to establish the notions of QCD factorization and universality of jet cross sections in the heavy-ion environment. First results of a global analysis of the nuclear modification factor of inclusive jets are presented where we extract medium modified jet functions using a Monte Carlo sampling approach. We observe that gluon jets are significantly more suppressed than quark jets. In addition, we study the jet radius dependence of the inclusive jet cross section in heavy-ion collisions and comment on a recent measurement from CMS. By considering for example jet substructure observablesmore »« less

Dynamically groomed jet radius in heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Caucal, Paul ; Soto-Ontoso, Alba ; Takacs, Adam - Physical Review D

We explore the ability of a recently proposed jet substructure technique, Dynamical Grooming, to pin down the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In particular, we compute, both analytically and via Monte-Carlo simulations, the opening angle θ_g of the hardest splitting in the jet as defined by Dynamical Grooming. Our calculation, grounded in perturbative QCD, accounts for the factorization in time between vacuum-like and medium-induced processes in the double logarithmic approximation. We observe that the dominating scale in the θ_g distribution is the decoherence angle θ_c which characterizes the resolution power of the medium to propagatingmore »« less

Identifying groomed jet splittings in heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Mulligan, James ; Płoskoń, Mateusz - Physical Review. C

Measurements of jet substructure in heavy-ion collisions may provide key insight into the nature of jet quenching in the quark-gluon plasma. Jet grooming techniques from high-energy physics have been applied to heavy-ion collisions in order to isolate theoretically controlled jet observables and explore possible modification to the hard substructure of jets. However, the grooming algorithms used have not been tailored to the unique considerations of heavy-ion collisions, in particular to the experimental challenge of reconstructing jets in the presence of a large underlying event. We report a set of simple studies illustrating the impact of the underlying event on identifyingmore »« less

Probing transverse momentum broadening in heavy ion collisions

Journal Article Mueller, A. H. ; Wu, Bin ; Xiao, Bo-Wen ; ... - Physics Letters B

We study the dijet azimuthal de-correlation in relativistic heavy ion collisions as an important probe of the transverse momentum broadening effects of a high energy jet traversing the quark–gluon plasma. We take into account both the soft gluon radiation in vacuum associated with the Sudakov logarithms and the jet P_T-broadening effects in the QCD medium. We find that the Sudakov effects are dominant at the LHC, while the medium effects can play an important role at RHIC energies. This explains why the LHC experiments have not yet observed sizable P_T-broadening effects in the measurement of dijet azimuthal correlations in heavymore »« less
