Scheme Transformations in Non-Linear QCD Evolution: Towards a Stable NLO BK Equation

Renaud Boussarie, Paul Caucal, Piotr Korcyl +1

High-energy QCD evolution at NLO suffers from large collinear logarithms that make the perturbative expansion of the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation unstable. We develop a systema…

Energy-energy correlators and color decoherence from a generating functional

Yacine Mehtar-Tani

Using jet calculus at leading-logarithmic accuracy, we develop a generating-functional approach to describe the hard-collinear sector of jets propagating through the quark-gluon pl…

The Colors of Jet Quenching

Hannah Bossi, Maxence Larose, Yacine Mehtar-Tani

We combine inclusive jet nuclear modification factors with energy-energy correlators to perform a data-driven extraction of the quark and gluon quenching factors and the medium res…

Color Coherence and the Soft Structure of QCD Jets in Vacuum and the QGP

Paul Caucal, Yacine Mehtar-Tani

We formulate a theoretical framework for the evolution of QCD jets in vacuum and in the quark--gluon plasma through the resummation of large energy logarithms. Exploiting the stron…

Rotating the Color Glass Condensate

Renaud Boussarie, Paul Caucal, Piotr Korcyl +1

The Physics of Jet Quenching in Perturbative QCD

Yacine Mehtar-Tani

Hard processes in collider experiments typically produce QCD jets, which have long served as precision tests of QCD in the vacuum. More recently, heavy-ion programs at RHIC and the…

Collinear Structure of Nonlinear Small- Evolution

Renaud Boussarie, Paul Caucal, Yacine Mehtar-Tani

We introduce a novel approach to high-energy QCD factorization of cross-sections for processes involving a dilute projectile and a dense target. Our method preserves the factorizat…

Jet Suppression and Azimuthal Anisotropy from RHIC to LHC

Yacine Mehtar-Tani, Daniel Pablos, Konrad Tywoniuk

Azimuthal anisotropies of high- particles produced in heavy-ion collisions are understood as an effect of a geometrical selection bias. Particles oriented in the direction in…

Jet suppression and azimuthal anisotropy at RHIC and LHC

Yacine Mehtar-Tani, Daniel Pablos, Konrad Tywoniuk

Jets are multi-partonic systems that develop before interactions with the quark-gluon plasma set in and lead to energy loss and modifications of their substructure. Jet modificatio…

Energy loss effects in EECs at LO

João Barata, Yacine Mehtar-Tani

In recent years, there has been an effort towards establishing a more complete picture for jet substructure in the presence of the quark gluon plasma. Such a program requires not o…
