Seeing jets in heavy-ion collisions
arXiv:1101.2662 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2011.02.015
Abstract
In these proceedings, we briefly review how jets can be reconstructed in heavy-ion collisions. The main point we address is the subtraction of the large contamination from the underlying event background. We first present the main ingredients needed to define the jets and perform the background subtraction and then discuss the efficiency of the subtraction for different jet algorithms and background-estimation methods.
