Using a recently-developed perturbative-QCD approach for jet evolution in a dense quark-gluon plasma, we study the nuclear modification factor for the jet fragmentation function. The qualitative behaviour that we find is in agreement with…
We study the $p/\pi$ ratio in jets produced in simulated proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=7~\mathrm{TeV}$ using Pythia $6.4$ Monte-Carlo generator. We compare the $p/\pi$ ratio in the selected quark-like and gluon-like jets to a…
In this paper, we study the production of isolated-photon plus a jet in $pp$ and $PbPb$ collisions, which can be used as an important probe to the jet transport property in quark gluon plasma created in heavy ion collisions. Normally, there…
We investigate the flavor dependence of jet quenching, by performing a systematic analysis of medium modifications on the inclusive jet, $\gamma$+jet, and $b$-jet in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. Our results from MadGraph+PYTHIA exhibit…
One of the major results from the study of high energy heavy ion collisions is the observation of jet quenching. The suppression of the number of jets observed in heavy ion collisions relative to pp collisions at the same energy scaled by…
We study multiple scatterings of jets on constituents of quark gluon plasma and introduce energy--energy correlations to quantify their effects. The effects from a longitudinally expanding plasma on medium as well as high energy jets are…
Whether quark- and gluon-initiated jets are modified differently by the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions is a long-standing question that has thus far eluded a definitive experimental answer. A crucial complication for…
We measure the subjet multiplicity M in jets reconstructed with a successive combination type of jet algorithm (kT). We select jets with 55<pT<100 GeV and |eta|<0.5. We compare similar samples of jets at sqrt(s)=1800 and 630 GeV. The HERWIG…
Charged-particle fragmentation functions for jets azimuthally balanced by a high-transverse-momentum, prompt, isolated photon are measured in $25$ pb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ and $0.49$ nb$^{-1}$ of Pb+Pb collision data at $5.02$ TeV per nucleon pair…
We consider three jet production at high $p_T$ in the $\gamma\gamma \to q \bar q g$ process and calculate quark and gluon jet spectra. The possibility of quark-gluon jet separation is discussed and compared with the $e^+ e^- \to q \bar q g$…
