Unraveling QCD dynamics with heavy quark energy correlators

Ivan Vitev

Heavy-flavor jets and their substructure provide a unique window into the role of quark mass on QCD radiation and its modification in nuclear matter. In this work, we investigate h…

Light and heavy meson production in small collision systems

Ivan Vitev

Recent results from the LHC on oxygen-oxygen (O-O) and neon-neon (Ne-Ne) collisions open a new window for investigating the interplay of cold nuclear matter (CNM) and quark-gluon p…

Factorizing quarkonium production matrix elements using effective field theory

Marston Copeland, Ivan Vitev

We use effective field theory to factorize production matrix elements that appear in quarkonium cross sections in NRQCD. By applying a Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation we show t…

Renormalization Group Evolution for In-medium Energy Correlators

Weiyao Ke, Bianka Mecaj, Ivan Vitev

We present a first-principles analysis of the renormalization group (RG) evolution of the two-point energy-energy correlator (EEC) in light-quark and gluon jets propagating through…

QED nuclear medium effects at EIC energies

Shohini Bhattacharya, Oleksandr Tomalak, Ivan Vitev

We present the first calculation of quantum electrodynamics (QED) nuclear medium effects under the experimental conditions of future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) experiments. Our wo…

Nuclear Cold QCD: Review and Future Strategy

F. Arleo, P. Caucal, A. Deshpande +12

This review examines data from hadron-nucleus collisions, primarily focusing on hard processes like Drell-Yan, heavy flavor and quarkonium production. It highlights observed modifi…
