66. Jet substructures and cross sections in proton and heavy ion collisions

Dr Yang-Ting Chien (Los Alamos National Laboratory)

Jet substructures and cross sections provide crucial information about the jet formation mechanism. Their precise calculations are necessary for the understanding of the properties of the medium jets pass through. The calculations involve the resummation of large logarithms which can be performed using renormalization group techniques in soft-collinear effective theory. In heavy ion...

67. Jets in p+Pb Collisions

Mr Raghav Kunnawalkam Elayavalli (Rutgers University)

High energy proton lead collisions at the LHC allow us to study the effects of the nucleus on hard/soft interactions. These give us a handle on the initial state effects by taking advantage of asymmetry in the collision system. I will summarize the results on the nuclear modification factors for inclusive and heavy flavor tagged jets based on Run1 data collected in 2013 for pPb collisions at...

55. The need for surface bias studies for correlation analyses

High momentum particle correlations, such as di-hadron, direct photon-hadron and jet-hadron correlations, have provided valuable insight into the properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma. High momentum hadrons as triggers are biased to have originated near the surface of the created medium. Direct photons can originate from anywhere within the medium. Fully reconstructed jets as a trigger can be...
