DNP2008 M. J. Tannenbaum 11/14/15 Prediction of Jet shape in vacuum and medium Would be much easier to understand if they also plotted z in addition to  =ln(1/z): e.g  =3.0  z=0.050 Borghini & Wiedemann, hep-ph/

DNP2008 M. J. Tannenbaum 12/14/15 Why use the Hump-backed distribution? Is  better than z? Evolution is predictable in MLLA QCD and is signature for coherence for small values of z<0.1. [Dokshitzer, et al, RMP60, 373(1988)] Emphasizes the increase in emission of fragments at small z due to the medium induced depletion of the number of fragments at large z. An extra benefit for LHC (apart from the very low z) is that it was assumed by Borghini&Wiedemann that full jet reconstruction would be required in order to find the energy of the jet. However, it was shown at LEP that if the energy of the jet were known, e.g. for dijet events at a precisely known  s in e + e - collisions, then both z and  =ln(1/z) distributions could be obtained without jet reconstruction.

Thank you Sam Ting L3, PLB 259 (1991) We should be able to do this from  -  0 or  -h away side correlations in p-p (almost there, convert x E plot to  ) and Au+Au to get a Tannenbaum,Ting,Wang,Wiedemann (in alphabetical order) plot

DNP2008 M. J. Tannenbaum 14/14/15 Can make the  =ln(1/z) plot from  -h correlations Tannenbaum-Ting-Wiedemann-Wang plot Is this (linear) plot better for observing or measuring the medium effect in Au+Au than the plot in the standard fragmentation variable z? We need the  -h correlations in Au+Au to decide.
