Jet energy loss in heavy ion collisions, as quantified by the traditional observable of high $p_T$ hadron's nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$, provides highly informative "imaging" of the hot medium created in heavy ion collisions. There…
The substructure of jets has been studied in terms of the jet shape and subjet multiplicity and these quantities used to tag gluon- and quark-initiated jets. Cross sections are presented for gluon- and quark-tagged jets which exhibit the…
Quarks and gluons are the fundamental building blocks of matter responsible for most of the visible energy density in the universe. However, they cannot be directly observed due to the confining nature of the strong force. The LHC uses pp…
Jet quenching in the hot and dense medium created in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions is a well-established experimental phenomenon at RHIC. It has long been anticipated that the LHC heavy ion program would substantially advance the…
Jet quenching has successfully served as a hard probe to study the properties of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). As a multi-particle system, jets take time to develop from a highly virtual parton to a group of partons close to mass shells. In…
We study the impact of selection biases on jet structure and substructure observables and separate these effects from effects caused by jet quenching. We use the angular separation $\Delta R$ of the hardest splitting in a jet as the primary…
