In ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions a hot and dense QCD matter, called Quark- Gluon Plasma (QGP), is produced. Heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are powerful probes to investigate the production and properties of the QGP. They are produced in hard scattering processes with large momentum transfer before the formation of the QGP, thus experiencing the full evolution of the system. The...

Parallel session talk

Heavy-ion collisions at the LHC and RHIC create a large enough energy density to form a deconfined medium of strongly-interacting quarks and gluons called quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The properties of the QGP including its near-perfect hydrodynamic behavior arising from the interactions between elementary quarks and gluons are not very well understood. Jets have proven to be crucial probes of...

9/3/22, 1:30 PM

Quark Matter and High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions

Parallel session talk

High energy partons lose energy when traversing the hot and dense medium produced in heavy-ion collisions. This results in a modification of the transverse momentum distribution of jets manifesting a phenomenon known as jet quenching. Early measurements have established in heavy ion collisions that jet quenching results in significant modifications to the transverse momentum balance of dijet...

Parallel session talk

Hard partonic scatterings serve as an important probe of quark-gluon-plasma (QGP) properties. The properties of jets and their constituents can provide a tool for understanding the partonic energy loss mechanisms. Low momentum jets offer a unique window into partonic energy loss because they reconstruct the partons which have lost a significant amount of energy to the QGP medium. The main...

Parallel session talk

The quark gluon plasma (QGP) created in the Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions behaves like a near perfect fluid with a small specific shear viscosity. Due to its transience and microscopic size, the QGP cannot be observed directly, but only through the particles it emits.
The JETSCAPE framework is a multistage framework that incorporates multiple models, each effective at an...

9/3/22, 5:10 PM

Quark Matter and High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions

Parallel session talk

Quantum Chromodynamics allows for the formation of parity-odd domains inside the medium produced in heavy-ion collisions associated with a net chirality of the quarks. Thus one local $CP$ violation phenomenal, Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME), is allowed in the heavy-ion collisions. In the past two decades, many experimental researchers are looking for such an effect with different observables and...
