1 Jets in QCD media: From Coherence to Decoherence Yacine Mehtar- Tani In collabora;on with C. Salgado and K. Tywoniuk arxiv: , arxiv: [he- h] Excited QCD February Ecole des Houches

2 What is a Jet? A collimated and energe/c bunch of hadrons roduced in a hard rocess [2- jet event at LEP]

3 What is a Jet? π g π q Originally a jet is born as a hard arton (quark/gluon) which fragments into many artons when the ;me goes by with decreasing virtuality down to a non- erturba;ve scale where hadroniza;on takes lace Parton shower is well described within QCD LPHD: Hadroniza;on does not affect exclusive observables: Jet shae, energy distribu;on, etc. K

4 How about jets in HIC? Jets in vacuum is a fine tuned technology. Once the hard arton is roduced it fragments in vacuum without any further interac;on in the final state as an indeendent object : energy and charge conserva;on, etc. With HIC: Jets do not roagate in vacuum but instead traverse a hot and colored (artonic) medium roduced afer the collision.

5 First jet RHIC, LHC Qualita;ve features: energy conserva;on not ensured, Jets in HIC are broader (less collimated). Issue: Need for theore;cal control! To robe and characterize the roduced QGP

6 Jets in vacuum (basics) Dynamics of an energe;c arton roduced in a hard collision QCD bremsstrahlung : an accelerated charge radiates sof gluons Double logarithmic divergence (DLA): collinear and sof ω E jet ω dn α S dω ω dθ θ α S ln 2 E jet θ E jet What haens when α S ln 2 E jet O(1)?

7 QCD coherence DLA: Successive gluon emissions are ordered in energies and angles E jet E jet ω 1... ω N θ 1 θ 2... θ N ω 1 ω 2 ωn θ 1 θ 2... θ N MLLA: energy conserva;on, running of the couling, etc. A. Basseto, M. Ciafaloni, G. Marchesini, A. H. Mueller (1982) V. S. Fadin (1983)]

8 DLA: Let s have a closer look QCD coherence leads to the dele;on of sof gluons! dn/dξ ξ =ln(e jet / h ) The Hum- backed lateau

9 QCD coherence Successive gluon emissions are ordered in energy and angle E jet E jet ω 1... ω N θ 1 θ 2... θ N ω 1 ω 2 What haens ωn θ 1 θ 2... when one turns the θ QGP on? N

10 From Jet- Quenching to Jets? Radia;ve arton energy loss: inclusive 1- gluon sectrum Remember! Need 2 gluon emissions to see QCD coherence (angular- ordering) t + ω ω t The hard quark loses energy by medium- induced gluon radia;on

11 From Jet- Quenching to Jets? Radia;ve arton energy loss: inclusive 1- gluon sectrum. The emised gluon undergoes mul;le scasering in the medium (BDMPS- ZW- GLV icture ( ) ω t + ω t Collinear and infrared finite sectrum!

12 QCD coherence in medium A missing iece On the market: in- medium jet calculus are erformed by enhancing the vacuum emission by the BDMPS/GLV sectrum: No coherence! [QPYTHIA, QHERWIG,JEWEL...] Are medium modified jets mainly determined by the BDMPS/GLV radia;on asern? We know from studying the gluon cascade in vacuum that the 1- gluon emission sectrum is not enough to build u the N- gluon cascade: Interferences, angular ordering, etc, lay a role at higher orders

13 A simle exercise: QCD coherence from the quark- an;quark antenna! k " k! "! " Probabilis;c interreta;on dn q α s dω ω! k " dn = dn q + dn q dθ k θ k Θ(θ θ k ), Quantum interferences lead to a robabilis;c icture! k

14 A simle exercise: QCD coherence from the quark- an;quark antenna Radia;on off the quark (dn q ) No radia;on outside the cone Why? gluons emised at larger angles than the air oening angle can not resolve the internal structure of the air and thus are suressed (t λ 1 form = ω/k ) 2 t form θ >t form θ = r k
