"Jets" and their distortion in heavy-ion collisions
Nicolas Borghini
TL;DR
This paper investigates how jets are distorted in heavy-ion collisions by modeling the medium's impact on parton shower profiles, emphasizing energy conservation during shower evolution.
Contribution
It introduces a QCD-inspired model that accounts for medium-induced jet distortions while conserving energy at each shower step, advancing understanding of jet-medium interactions.
Findings
Jet profiles are significantly altered by the medium.
Energy conservation during shower evolution is crucial for accurate modeling.
The model provides insights into jet quenching phenomena.
Abstract
After a discussion on the meaning of "jets" in the context of nucleus-nucleus collisions, the distortions of the profile of a parton shower induced by the presence of a medium is investigated in a QCD-inspired model that implements the conservation of energy at each step of the shower evolution.
