3D Structure of Jet-induced Diffusion Wake

Zhong Yang, Xin-Nian Wang

Jet-induced diffusion wake in heavy-ion collisions has a unique 3D structure as manifested in the jet-hadron correlations in rapidity and azimuthal angle. The rapidity asymmetry ob…

Diffusion wake: a distinctive consequence of the Mach-cone wake induced by supersonic jets in high-energy heavy-ion collisions

Zhong Yang, Xin-Nian Wang

In this Research Perspective, we briefly review the diffusion wake, a distinctive consequence of the Mach-cone wake induced by the supersonic jets in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion c…

A background-free signal of jet-induced diffusion wake in quark-gluon plasma

Zhong Yang, Xin-Nian Wang

Rapidity asymmetry of jet-hadron correlation has been proposed as a robust signal of dijet-induced diffusion wake in quark-gluon plasma in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We gene…

Flavor dependence of Energy-energy correlators

Liliana Apolinário, Raghav Kunnawalkam Elayavalli, Nuno Olavo Madureira +3

Energy-energy correlators (EECs) within high energy jets serve as a key experimentally accessible quantity to probe the scale and structure of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in relat…

Rapidity asymmetry of jet-hadron correlation as a robust signal of diffusion wake induced by di-jets in high-energy heavy-ion collisions

Zhong Yang, Xin-Nian Wang

Diffusion wake accompanying a Mach cone is a unique feature of the medium response to projectiles traveling at a speed faster than the velocity of sound. This is also the case for…
