The dijet mass distribution in heavy ion collisions
arXiv:2002.12442 · doi:10.1051/epjconf/202023505006
Abstract
In these proceedings, we review the production of both light and heavy flavor dijets in heavy ion collisions and highlight a promising observable to expose their distinct signatures. We propose the modification of dijet invariant mass distributions in heavy ion collisions as a novel observable that exhibits striking sensitivity to the quark-gluon plasma transport properties and heavy quark mass effects on in-medium parton showers. This observable has the advantage of amplifying the effects of jet quenching in contrast to conventional observables, such as the dijet momentum imbalance shift, which involve cancellations of such effects and, hence, result in less pronounced signals. Predictions are presented for Au+Au collisions at = 200 GeV to guide the future sPHENIX program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.
