Early-Time Dynamics of Heavy-Ion Collisions through Energy Correlators: celestial blocks and the spacetime structure of out-of-equilibrium QCD matter

João Barata, José Guilherme Milhano, Andrey V. Sadofyev +1

Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions provide a unique window into far-from-equilibrium states of QCD matter. The initial stages of these events are characterized by highly anisot…

QCD antenna radiative spectrum in dense media within the Improved Opacity Expansion

Matvey V. Kuzmin, João M. Silva

We compute the double differential inclusive spectrum for the emission of a soft gluon from a color-singlet pair traversing a dense QCD medium. Our results extend the exi…

Collinear spin correlations of final-state radiation in dense QCD matter

João M. Silva, Alba Soto-Ontoso

Spin correlations are required to reproduce the correct azimuthal dependence of matrix elements for successive branchings at disparate angles in QCD jets. In this paper, we study m…

Heavy Quark Pair Energy Correlators: From Profiling Partonic Splittings to Probing Heavy-Flavor Fragmentation

João Barata, Jasmine Brewer, Kyle Lee +1

We introduce heavy-flavor energy correlators, , as a powerful observable for profili…

Quark antenna in early stage anisotropic QCD matter

Joao Barata, Carlos A. Salgado, Joao M. Silva

The states of matter produced in the early stage of heavy ion collisions can be highly anisotropic. If such a feature is sufficiently pronounced, one should expect the final partic…

Dissecting Jet Modification in the QGP with Multi-Point Energy Correlators

João Barata, Ian Moult, Andrey V. Sadofyev +1

Energy correlators have recently attracted significant attention in the study of heavy ion collisions due to their potential to robustly connect experimental measurements with an u…
