Unified description of longitudinal and transverse parton dynamics in cold nuclear matter

Weiyao Ke

We present a unified description of longitudinal momentum evolution and transverse-momentum broadening in cold nuclear matter using soft collinear effective theory with Glauber glu…

In medium evolution of the energy-energy correlators

Weiyao Ke

In this work, we present a first-principles analysis of the scale evolution of the two-point energy-energy correlator (EEC) for quark and gluon jets propagating through QCD matter.…

Adiabatic hydrodynamization with transverse spatial gradients in boost-invariant plasmas

Uri Sharell, Jasmine Brewer, Weiyao Ke

The quantitative success of relativistic viscous hydrodynamics in describing the short-lived quark--gluon plasma raises a fundamental question: how does far-from-equilibrium QCD ma…

Tracing Gluon Saturation through Hadronization at EIC

Weiyao Ke, Xu Liu, Yu Shi +2

Gluon saturation provides a window into the nonlinear nature of the strong interaction in nuclear matter. One direct consequence of saturation is the broadening…

Study the Longitudinal Entropy Deposition using d+Au Collision

Zhu Meng, Weiyao Ke, Long-Gang Pang

Relativistic hydrodynamics successfully describes bulk observables in symmetric heavy-ion collisions, but struggles to reproduce charged-particle rapidity distributions in asymmetr…

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…

Nonperturbative Heavy-Flavor Transport Approach for Hot QCD Matter

Tharun Krishna, Ralf Rapp, Yu Fu +2

The heavy charm and bottom quarks are unique probes of the transport properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and its hadronization in high-energy nuclear collisions. A key chall…

Bayesian inference of the magnetic field and chemical potential on holographic jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions

Liqiang Zhu, Zhan Gao, Weiyao Ke +1

Jet quenching is studied in a background magnetic field and a finite baryon chemical potential. The production of energetic partons is calculated using the next-to-leading order (N…

Anisotropic jet broadening and jet shape

Weiyao Ke, John Terry, Ivan Vitev

In this paper, we explore the use of jet substructure as a way of probing phenomena which break the isotropic behavior of jets, such as jet propagation through an anisotropically f…

Transport coefficients of dense nucleon matter at low temperature

Jianing Li, Weiyao Ke

The transport property of cold and dense nucleon matter is important for nuclear physics but is relatively less studied than that at finite temperatures. In this paper, we present…

Toward a first-principles description of transverse momentum dependent Drell-Yan production in proton-nucleus collisions

Weiyao Ke, John Terry, Ivan Vitev

In this paper, we study the parton dynamics in Drell-Yan collisions involving proton-nuclei interactions in the limit of small transverse momentum, emphasizing the role of the cold…

Initial-state and final-state effects on hadron production in small collision systems

Ivan Vitev, Weiyao Ke

Heavy meson production in reactions with nuclei is an active new frontier to understand QCD dynamics and the process of hadronization in nuclear matter. Measurements in various col…

Non-hydrodynamic response in QCD-like plasma

Weiyao Ke, Yi Yin

Quark-gluon plasma's (QGP) properties at non-hydrodynamic and non-perturbative regimes remain largely unexplored. Here, we examine the response functions describing how a QGP-like…

Precision three-dimensional imaging of nuclei using recoil-free jets

Shen Fang, Weiyao Ke, Ding Yu Shao +1

In this study, we explore the azimuthal angle decorrelation of lepton-jet pairs in e-p and e-A collisions as a means for precision measurements of the three-dimensional structure o…
