Multiple jets and $\gamma$-jet correlation in high-energy heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

$\gamma$-jet production is considered one of the best probes of the hot quark-gluon plasma in high-energy heavy-ion collisions since the direct $\gamma$ can be used to gauge the initial energy and momentum of the associated jet. This is investigated within the Linear Boltzmann Transport (LBT) model for jet propagation and jet-induced medium excitation. With both parton energy loss and medium response from jet-medium interaction included, LBT can describe experimental data well on $\gamma$-jet correlation in Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Multiple jets associated with direct $\gamma$ production are found to contribute significantly to $\gamma$-jet correlation at small $p_T^{\mathrm{jet}}<p_T^{\gamma }$ and large azimuthal angle relative to the opposite direction of $\gamma$. Jet medium interaction not only suppresses the leading jet at large $p_T^{\mathrm{jet}}$ but also sub-leading jets at large azimuthal angle. This effectively leads to the narrowing of $\gamma$-jet correlation in azimuthal angle instead of broadening due to jet-medium interaction. The $\gamma$-jet profile on the other hand will be broadened due to jet-medium interaction and jet-induced medium response. Energy flow measurements relative to the direct photon is illustrated to reflect well the broadening and jet-induced medium response.
