Hard Probes in High-energy Heavy-ion Collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
Hard QCD processes in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions become increasingly relevant and they can be used as probes of the dense matter formed during the violent scatterings. We will discuss how one can use these hard probes to study the properties of the dense matter and the associated phenomenologies. In particular, we study the effect of jet quenching due to medium-induced energy loss on inclusive particle pT distributions and investigate how one can improve the measurement of parton energy loss in direct photon events.

Diagnostics of Quark-gluon Plasma in Ultrarelativistic Heavy Ion Collisions by Hard
We analyze the possibilities for studying properties of dense QCD-matter, created in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions, by hard QCD-production processes, so-called ”hard” probes – heavy quarkonia, hard jets, high mass dimuons. Special attention is paid to the potential of coming heavy ion experiments on Large Hadron Collider to observe the rescattering and energy losses of hard partons in qu...
متن کاملCapabilities of the CMS detector for studies of hard probes in heavy ion collisions at the LHC
The capabilities of the CMS experiment to study properties of hot and dense QCD-matter created in heavy ion collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider with the perturbative processes (socalled ”hard probes”) are presented. Detailed studies from complete simulations of the CMS detectors in Pb+Pb collisions at √ s = 5.5 TeV per nucleon pair are presented in view of two hard probes: quarkonium a...
متن کاملHard QCD Probes to Quark-Gluon Plasma
Completely unexplored regimes of QCD, dominated by high-density/temperature effects, are available in heavy ion experiments at collider energies. The successful RHIC program shows how relevant the high transverse momentum part of the spectrum is for the characterization of the properties of the created medium. It points, as well, to interesting properties of the nuclear wave function at small f...
متن کاملCharmonium Production in High Energy Collisions
One motivation for studying the production of charmonium in high energy collisions is that these particles are among the simplest probes for heavy-ion collisions. In recent years, there have been significant developments in heavy quarkonium production, both in theory and in experiment. These developments may have important implications for the use of charmonium as a probe in heavy-ion collision...

We discuss the potential information about highly excited QCD-matter provided by medium-induced partonic energy loss, known as " jet quenching ". In particular, with its large acceptance hadronic and electromagnetic calorimetry, the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at LHC collider is a promising device to study these effects. We present physics simulations of observables such as the jet distribut...
