Energy-energy correlators inside single inclusive jets in heavy-ion collisions with CoLBT-hydro model

Zhong Yang, Raghav Kunnawalkam Elayavalli, Xin-Nian Wang

The energy-energy correlator (EEC) inside jets is a sensitive observable for studying jet modification in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). However, its interpretation in heavy-ion col…
