Minimum-bias fragment distributions (FDs) are calculated by folding a power-law parton energy spectrum with parametrized fragmentation functions (FFs) derived from $e^+$-$e^-$ and p-\=p collisions. Changes in FFs due to parton "energy loss"…

Spectrum hard components from 200 GeV \auau collisions are accurately described by pQCD parton fragment distributions, indicating that a substantial population of parton fragments is present in hadron spectra at low $p_t$. Minimum-bias…
We demonstrate that a trigger on hard dijet production at small rapidities allows to establish a quantitative distinction between central and peripheral collisions in pbar-p and p-p collisions at Tevatron and LHC energies. Such a trigger…

Complementary to jet reconstruction, two-particle correlations in $\Delta\eta$ and $\Delta\varphi$ are used to study jets, in particular their particle composition. While in Pb--Pb collisions this is done to characterize the quark--gluon…
