Partons in heavy-ion collisions interact strongly with the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), and hence have their energy and shower structure modified compared to those in vacuum. Theoretical calculations predict that the radiative energy loss,…
Two-particle angular correlations have long been used as an observable for measuring the initial-state partonic transverse momentum $k_T$. Sensitivity to this small transverse momentum scale allows nonperturbative transverse momentum…
