Anomaly Realization in Charge-Flux Detector Correlators

João Barata, Ratmir Jumanov, Andrey V. Sadofyev

Quantum anomalies provide a bridge between ultraviolet properties of a theory and its infrared sector. We study how this connection appears in axial-charge-flow observables. In the…

Mapping jet substructure in heavy-ion collisions with track functions

João Barata, Yeonju Go, Daniel Pablos

We investigate the dynamics of high-energy QCD cascades in heavy-ion collisions, focusing on modifications to jets' substructure induced by the presence of a quark-gluon plasma (QG…

Jet quenching in out-of-equilibrium QCD matter

João Barata, Kirill Boguslavski, Florian Lindenbauer +1

We present the first study of jet substructure modifications during the bottom-up evolution that describes the early stages of heavy-ion collisions. To this end, we study the brems…

Quantum simulating multi-particle processes in high energy nuclear physics: dijet production and color (de)coherence

João Barata, Meijian Li, Wenyang Qian +2

Hard scattering events in high-energy collisions produce highly virtual partons that subsequently fragment into collimated hadronic cascades. When such partonic showers evolve in a…

Hydrodynamics and Energy Correlators

João Barata, Matvey V. Kuzmin, Ian Moult +2

We study energy-energy correlators (EECs) in many-body quantum states, focusing on the matter produced in the aftermath of heavy-ion collisions. We analyze the angular structure of…

Early-Time Dynamics of Heavy-Ion Collisions through Energy Correlators: celestial blocks and the spacetime structure of out-of-equilibrium QCD matter

João Barata, José Guilherme Milhano, Andrey V. Sadofyev +1

Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions provide a unique window into far-from-equilibrium states of QCD matter. The initial stages of these events are characterized by highly anisot…
