Data-driven analysis methods for the measurement of reconstructed jets in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC
G. O. V. de Barros, Bo Fenton-Olsen, Peter Jacobs +1
We present data-driven methods for the full reconstruction of jets in heavy ion collisions, for inclusive and co-incidence jet measurements at both RHIC and LHC. The complex struct…
Jets and high hadrons in dense matter: recent results from STAR
Peter Jacobs, Jennifer Klay
We review recent measurements of high transverse momentum (high ) hadron production in nuclear collisions by the STAR Collaboration at RHIC. The previously observed suppressio…
Matter in extremis: ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC
Peter Jacobs, Xin-Nian Wang
We review the physics of nuclear matter at high energy density and the experimental search for the Quark-Gluon Plasma at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The data obtain…
3D Multi-system Bayesian Calibration with Energy Conservation to Study Rapidity-dependent Dynamics of Nuclear Collisions
Andi Mankolli, Aaron Angerami, Ritu Arora +48
Considerable information about the early-stage dynamics of heavy-ion collisions is encoded in the rapidity dependence of measurements. To leverage the large amount of experimental…
Change point detection in high dimensional data with U-statistics
B. Cooper Boniece, Lajos Horváth, Peter Jacobs
We consider the problem of detecting distributional changes in a sequence of high dimensional data. Our approach combines two separate statistics stemming from norms whose be…
Effects of hadronic reinteraction on jet fragmentation from small to large systems
Hendrik Roch, Aaron Angerami, Ritu Arora +49
We investigate the impact of the hadronic phase on jet quenching in nuclear collider experiments, an open question in heavy-ion physics. Previous studies in a simplified setup sugg…
Jets in Nuclear Collisions: Status and Perspective
Peter Jacobs
I review the status and future directions of jet-related measurements in high energy nuclear collisions and their application as a probe of QCD matter.
Hybrid Hadronization of Jet Showers from to with JETSCAPE
Cameron Parker, Aaron Angerami, Ritu Arora +48
In this talk we review jet production in a large variety of collision systems using the JETSCAPE event generator and Hybrid Hadronization. Hybrid Hadronization combines quark recom…
Semi-supervised Embedding in Attributed Networks with Outliers
Jiongqian Liang, Peter Jacobs, Jiankai Sun +1
In this paper, we propose a novel framework, called Semi-supervised Embedding in Attributed Networks with Outliers (SEANO), to learn a low-dimensional vector representation that sy…
Background Fluctuations in Heavy Ion Jet Reconstruction
Peter Jacobs
We present a new study by the STAR Collaboration of background fluctuations in jet reconstruction in heavy ion collisions.
A multistage framework for studying the evolution of jets and high- probes in small collision systems
Abhijit Majumder, Aaron Angerami, Ritu Arora +48
Understanding the modification of jets and high- probes in small systems requires the integration of soft and hard physics. We present recent developments in extending the JET…
Measurements of High Density Matter at RHIC
Peter Jacobs
QCD predicts a phase transition between hadronic matter and a Quark Gluon Plasma at high energy density. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laborator…
Thoughts on opportunities in high-energy nuclear collisions
Federico Antinori, Peter Braun-Munzinger, Jan-Fiete Grosse-Oetringhaus +27
This document reflects thoughts on opportunities from high-energy nuclear collisions in the 2020s.
Interplay of prompt and non-prompt photons in photon-triggered jet observables
Chathuranga Sirimanna, Yasuki Tachibana, Abhijit Majumder +49
Prompt photons are important yet challenging to observe in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, as they are produced in the early stages and traverse almost the entire QGP medium wit…
Effect of non-equilibrium thermochemistry on Pitot pressure measurements in shock tunnels (or: Is 0.92 really the magic number?)
Tamara Sopek, Peter Jacobs, Suria-Devi Subiah +2
Pitot pressure is the most common measurement in high total enthalpy shock tunnels for test condition verification. Nozzle calculations using multi-temperature non-equilibrium ther…
Thoughts on opportunities from high-energy nuclear collisions
Federico Antinori, Nestor Armesto, Paolo Bartalini +28
This document summarizes thoughts on opportunities from high-energy nuclear collisions.
Spatial Distribution of Initial Interactions in High Energy Collisions of Heavy Nuclei
Peter Jacobs, Glenn Cooper
The spatial distribution of interactions in high energy collisions of heavy nuclei is discussed using the wounded nucleon, binary collision, hard sphere, and colliding disk paramet…
Comparison of Jet Quenching Formalisms for a Quark-Gluon Plasma "Brick"
Nestor Armesto, Brian Cole, Charles Gale +12
We review the currently available formalisms for radiative energy loss of a high-momentum parton in a dense strongly interacting medium. The underlying theoretical framework of the…
