Jet Structure In Heavy Ion Collisions Research Articles

Measurement of jet structure and substructure in heavy ion collisions with ATLAS

Studies of jet structure in heavy-ion collisions can provide information about the mechanism of jet quenching in the hot and dense QCD medium created in these collisions and about its properties over a range of distance scales. These proceedings present the latest ATLAS measurement of the internal structure of jets to shed more light on the modification of the parton showering process in the presence of the medium. A measurement of the angular distribution of charged particles around the jet axis in Pb+Pb and pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV is presented. Further, a measurement of how the suppression of large-radius jets depends on the internal jet structure characterized by the transverse momentum scale for the hardest splitting in the jet is shown.

Modification of jet structure in nuclear collisions: theory overview (and pp perspective)

This brief overview of jet structure in heavy-ion collisions touches on analytical and Monte Carlo methods for predicting jet substructure, as well as the question of how new and existing observables can be used to shed light on the dynamics of the interaction of a fragmenting parton with the quark-gluon plasma.
