Pileup subtraction using jet areas
Matteo Cacciari, Gavin P. Salam
One of the major challenges for the LHC will be to extract precise information from hadronic final states in the presence of the large number of additional soft pp collisions, pile…
Heavy-Quark Kinetics in the QGP at LHC
H. van Hees, V. Greco, R. Rapp
We present predictions for the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of D and B mesons, as well as of their decay electrons, in semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. Hea…
Thermal Dileptons at LHC
H. van Hees, R. Rapp
We predict dilepton invariant-mass spectra for central 5.5 ATeV Pb-Pb collisions at LHC. Hadronic emission in the low-mass region is calculated using in-medium spectral functions o…
Power corrections for jets at hadron colliders
Matteo Cacciari, Mrinal Dasgupta, Lorenzo Magnea +1
We discuss non-perturbative QCD corrections to jet distributions in hadron collisions, focussing on hadronisation and underlying event contributions. Using soft gluon resummation a…
Jet Areas, and What They are Good For
Matteo Cacciari
We introduce the concept of the area of a jet, and show how it can be used to perform the subtraction of even a large amount of diffuse noise from hard jets.
pQCD Calculations of Heavy Quark and J/psi Production
Matteo Cacciari
We review the present status of theoretical predictions for both closed (J/psi) and open heavy quark production in high energy collisions, and their comparisons to experimental dat…
