Jet quenching in A+A collisions has been regarded as one of the most important discoveries at RHIC Tested against alternative suggestions: CGC and hadronic transport models ✓ Phenomenologically very successful ✓ Difficulty in distinguishing between models and theories ✗ New observables, physics reach extended at the LHC and also RHIC ✗ Adams, J. et al. (2003)Adler, S. et al (2003)  Jet quenching: suppression of inclusive particle production relative to a binary scaled p+p result M. Gyulassy, et al. (1992)

Jet physics results are becoming available in nuclear collisions Allow for new insights in the in-medium parton dynamics Should be understood in conjunction with leading particle suppression ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, PHENIX, STAR ( )

 Surprisingly, there is no big difference between the jet shape in vacuum and the total jet shape in the medium  Take a ratio of the differential jet shapes I. Vitev et al. (2008) 20 GeV 50 GeV 100 GeV 200 GeV

 The first theory calculation to describe a splitting parton system as a source term, including quantum color interference effects  Think of it schematically as the energy transferred to the QGP through collisional interactions at scales ~ T, gT, …  Calculated diagrammatically from the divergence of the energy- momentum tensor (EMT)  Simple intuitive interpretation of the result R.B. Neufeld et al. (2011)  GeV from the shower energy can be transmitted to the QGP  See poster by Bryon Neufeld

 There is no first-principles understanding of heavy ion dynamics at all scales and consequently jet/medium separation Y. He et al. (2011)  Background fluctuations may affect jet observabled  Part of the jet energy may be misinterpreted as background  It may also diffuse outside R through collisional processes M. Cacciari et al. (2011) In our approach we can simulate these scenarios with the cut p T min Can easily wipe out the R dependence of jet observables (also for di-jets) Constrain NP corrections in p+p

Goal: precisely constrain the energy of the leading recoil jet [e.g. through lepton pair decays] to pinpoint parton energy loss. Exact result at LO At NLO Z-strahlung and parton splitting compromise the tagging power of electroweak bosons Induce +/- 25% uncertainty At least NLO accuracy is necessary to study Z 0 -tagged and photon-tagged jets T.

 Quenched Z 0 -tagged jet cross section S.Chatrchyan et al. (2011) Strong redistribution of the energy and enhanced I AA below the trigger p T  Inclusive Z 0 production has also been evaluated R.B. Neufeld et al. (2010) Isospin +3%, CNM energy loss -6%  Associated with the part of phase space of quickly increasing with p T cross section

Y.He et al. (2011)  We have adapted the NLO EKS code to calculate the di-jet cross section  The most important feature is how broad it is in E T1, E T2  Limits the amount of additional asymmetry that can be generated by the QGP The di-jet assymetry is a derivative observable Excellent description in p+p collisions

Y. He et al. (2011)  The suppressed di-jet cross section is calculated as follows (differentially over the collisions geometry, L 1 L 2, Real time P(ε) )  Generalized multi-jet suppression  Characteristic features: broad flat suppression and transition to strong enhancement

Y. He et al. (2011)  Only about 30%-50% of the additional asymmetry can be explained by the radiative processes  The remainder may be related to the jet/background ambigutiy, fluctuation or thermalization of the parton shower  A peak at finite A J is not compatible with NLO calculations due to the broad E1 E2 distribution

 Presented NLO results for inclusive jet production at RHIC and the LHC, Z 0 -tagged jets and di-jets at the LHC. Showed that this level of accuracy is critical for the new jet observables  Jet measurements at RHIC and the LHC are strongly suggestive of the quenching scenario. However, a consistent picture has not emerged yet. There are difficulties is separating the jets from the QGP background. Only part of the features of the di-jet asymmetry may be understood in the jet quenching picture. A suite of measurements is necessary to form a solid physics understanding of the jet processes in QCD matter at high energies and densities  Derived the differential energy and momentum transfer between a splitting parton system and the QGP(or the source term). Found that a significant part of the shower energy may be thermalized. Showed that in-medium parton showers are unlikely sources of well-defined conical signatures

 Developed an effective theory of jet propagation in matter. Proved gauge invariance of the jet broadening and energy loss results. Showed factorization of the medium-induced radiative corrections for the hard scattering, accurate results beyond the soft gluon approximation.  Predictions for leading particle suppression in agreement with data. Gluon “feedback” is very important at the LHC. With the present baseline uncertainty it is not clear if different jet-medium coupling is necessary. Even if it is, the differences with RHIC will be small  In the future we will expand the NLO calculations to leading particles. We will evaluate all necessary splitting processes in SCET G. We will improve the accuracy of energy loss/jet quenching calculations and investigate in detail the suppression of leading particles (NLO)

 An individual parton (or a collinear system) can produce a Mach cone on an event by event basis. Multiple events will reduce the observable effect  Typical medium-induced shower multiplicities are N g =4 (quark) and N g =8 (gluon) and emitted at large angles ~ 0.7 (much larger than in the vcuum)  Each parton quickly becomes an individual source of excitation and these multiple sources wipe out any conical signature I.

 Total contribution to the jet shape in the vacuum: This theoretical model describes CDF II data fairly well after including all relevant contributions Acosta et al. (2005) Note the subtraction to avoid double counting in the collinear regime I.V., S. Wicks, B.W. Zhang. (2008)

 The medium induced parton splitting is the double differential bremsstrahlung distribution Coherence and interference effects guarantee broad angular spectrum I.V. (2005) S. Wicks (2008) X.N.Wang et al. (2005)

 The medium induced energy loss can be evaluated for any phase space for the jet particles  The same has to be true for bremsstrahlung from hard scattering For a 100 GeV parton at the LHC

R AA for the jet cross section evolves continuously with the cone size R max and the acceptance cut. Contrast: single result for leading particles. Limits: small R max and large approximate single particle suppression.
