In-medium Parton Energy Losses and Characteristics of Hadronic Jets in Ultra-relativistic Nuclear Collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
The angular structure of collisional and radiative energy losses of a hard parton jet propagating through the quark-gluon plasma is analyzed. The possibility to observe the energy losses of quarkand gluon-initiated jets in dense QCD-matter (jet quenching) measuring the characteristics of real hadronic jets in ultra-relativistic collisions of nuclei is investigated. In particular, using calorimetric studies of jet+ jet, γ + jet and Z + jet channels is discussed.

Search for Quark-gluon Plasma and Jets Production in Ultra{relativistic Ion Collisions
We analyze the sensitivity of the collisional and radiative energy losses of hard par-tonic jets to the main parameters and space-time evolution of the dense matter, which is expected to be created in ultra{relativistic heavy ion collisions. The problem of \true\ QCD-jets recognition against the \false\ jets background (statistical uctuations of the transverse energy ux arising from a huge mult...

The coherent hadron production analogous to Cherenkov radiation of photons gives rise to the ring-like events. Being projected on the ring diameter they produce the two-bump structure recently observed for the away-side jets at RHIC. The position of the peaks and their height determine such properties of the hadronic medium as its nuclear index of refraction, the parton density, the free path l...
متن کاملPhysics of Ultra-Relativistic Nuclear Collisions with Heavy Beams at LHC Energy
At LHC energy hard parton-parton collisions will provide the dominant part of the transverse energy produced in a Pb-Pb collision [1]. Therefore, the initial stage of such a collision will be manifestly partonic. Because of the very large cross section for gluongluon scattering the gluons will reach equilibrium quickly and initial temperatures of about 1 GeV at timescales ≪ 1 fm/c will be reach...
متن کاملEnergy loss of partons traversing a QGP fluid
Measurements of high pT hadrons at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) may provide insight into a quark gluon plasma (QGP) [1]. Since jets have to traverse the excited matter, their spectra should be changed in comparison with the elementary hadron-hadron data. The energy loss of jets has been proposed as a possible signal of the QGP phase in relativistic heavy ion collisions [2]. Over t...
متن کاملA Parton-Hadron Cascade Approach in High-energy Nuclear Collisions
Event generators based on perturbative QCD (pQCD) are proposed such as HIJING (Heavy Ion Jet Interaction Generator)[1], VNI (Vincent Le Cucurullo Con Giginello)[2], in order to describe ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, especially, at collider energies (RHIC/LHC). Although both models reproduce many pp and p̄p data, there are large discrepancies in AA collisions between these two models, ...
