73. Open heavy-flavour measurements with ALICE at the LHC

Elena Bruna (INFN-GSI)

The large interest in open heavy-flavour physics in heavy-ion collisions is proven by the many results obtained at both RHIC and LHC energies. Heavy quarks are produced in the early stages of heavy-ion collisions and their abundance is not expected to change throughout the evolution of the system. Hence, they behave as self-generated probes that traverse the hot and dense medium losing energy...

68. Jet-hadron correlations examined with Monte Carlo models

Dr Kirill Lapidus (Yale University)

12/01/2016, 16:30

Employing publicly available Monte Carlo models of jet modification in a partonic medium, we study jet-hadron correlations in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. In particular, we discuss the medium-induced broadening of the away-side peak. The surface bias, i.e. a trigger-dependent modification of the spatial distribution of hard scattering vertices, will be addressed as well.
