Jets: seeing quarks and gluons

  • jet: collimated bunch of hadrons
  • quasi-free parton scattering at high Q2:

the best available experimental equivalent to quarks and gluons

SLIDE 5

Oliver Busch – TGSW 2016 /09/17

Jet fragmentation

  • initial hard scattering: high-pT partons
  • cascade of (anti-)quarks and gluons: parton shower
  • at soft scale (O(ΛQCD)): hadronization

slide-6
SLIDE 6
  • in heavy-ion collisions at ultra-relativistic energies,

a quasi macroscopic fireball of hot, strongly interacting matter in local thermal equilibrium is created

  • lattice QCD predicts phase transition to deconfined,

chirally symmetric matter

  • energy density

from the lattice: rapid increase around TC, indicating increase of degrees of freedom (pion gas -> quarks and gluons)

  • TC = 154 +/- 9 MeV

εC = 340 +/- 45 MeV/fm3

QCD phase transition

HotQCD, PRD 90, 094503

SLIDE 7

Partons in heavy-ion collisions

  • hard partons are produced early and traverse the hot and dense QGP
  • expect enhanced parton energy loss: ‘jet quenching’ (mostly) due to

medium-induced gluon radiation

  • ‘vacuum’ expectation calculable by pQCD : ‘calibrated probe of QGP’
  • jets sensitive to properties of

the medium (energy density, , mean free path, coupling ... )

  • ... but also jet-medium

interaction not trivial (strong / weak coupling, parton mass / type, fireball dynamics ...)

Jets at ALICE (LHC run 1)

  • jet trigger with EMCal and TRD
  • ‘charged’ (tracking) jets and ‘full’ jets
  • full jets from charged particle tracking and EM energy:

conceptually different and complementary to traditional approach

  • charged particle tracking:
  • Inner Tracking System (ITS)
  • Time Projection Chamber
  • full azimuth, |η |< 0.9

pT > 150 MeV/c

  • EMCal :
  • neutral particles
  • Δφ = 107°, |η|<0.7

cluster ET > 300 MeV

central peripheral

  • jet reconstruction in heavy-ion collisions :

difficult due to the high underlying event background not related to hard scattering

  • correct spectra for background fluctuations and detector effects

via unfolding

  • not possible down to lowest jet pT

jet area ~ 0.5 (R = 0.4)

Underlying event in heavy-ion collisions

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Jet nuclear modification factor

  • strong suppression observed, similar to hadron RAA

→ parton energy not recovered inside jet cone

  • increase of suppression

with centrality

  • weak pT

dependence

  • JEWEL and

YaJEM jet quenching models reproduce suppression

Jet azimuthal anisotropy

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Oliver Busch – TGSW 2016 /09/17

Reaction plane dependence

  • different medium thickness in- and out-of plane
  • sensitive to path length dependence of jet

quenching: pQCD radiative E-loss : ~L2

collisional E-loss : ~L

strong coupling (ADS/CFT) : ~L3

Oliver Busch – TGSW 2016 /09/17

Jet v2 : results

  • quantify azimuthal asymmetry via 2nd Fourier harmonic v2ch jet
  • central collisions: 1.5 - 2 sigma from v2ch jet = 0

→ consistent with 0, but maybe hint for effect of initial density fluctuations ?

  • non-zero v2ch jet in semi-central collisions

  • account for flow-modulation of background via

event-by-event fit and subtraction of local background density

  • unfolding to account for
