3 Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) and Jet Quenching 3

4 4 A brief journey to the beginning of the Universe What is QGP? Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) Hot & dense color thermalized QCD matter prevailing at the early Universe ~μs after big bang Deconfined state of quarks and gluons Theoretically inferred through lattice gauge simulations of QCD Little Bang How to create? high-energy head-on nucleus-nucleus collisions at particle accelerators Recreate QGP droplets for a brief period of time to quantitatively map out the QCD phase diagram

5 5 Jets in HI Collisions ( Hard Probes of the QGP ) What s a Jet? Collimated spray of hadrons produced by the hard scattering of partons at the initial stage of the collision high-q 2 process, pt 20 GeV Why Jets? The QGP lifetime is so short (~ -23 s) that characterization by external probes is ruled out self-produced probe Occur at early stage ~/Q probe the entire medium evolution Production rate calculable within pqcd well calibrated probe Large cross-section at the LHC copious production Reconstructed Jet enables to access 4-momentum of original parton jet structure (energy re-distribution) Jet Quenching Attenuation or disappearance of observed Jets in Pb-Pb due to partons' energy loss in the QGP evaluation of the degree of the attenuation gives us QGP properties

32 32 Definition of the Underlying Energy Density. Output of kt algorithm : the list of the kt clusters ( pi, Ai ) kt algorithm is better than anti-kt algorithm for background estimation because low-pt particles are apt to be the cluster constituents. 2. Remove largest two clusters from the list because (2nd) largest cluster is the real Jet candidate. 3. Calculate median of pti / Ai median is better than average because the average calculation tend to be affected by seeped real-jet signal
