2 13/11/2007 G. Conesa Balbastre @ ALICE-Italy workshop 2/20 Why jets and photons? Study the properties of matter at high density and temperature with: Jets Partons (jets) suffer energy loss traversing the new medium  Jet multiplicity and energy redistribution  Jet-Quenching Photons Production unperturbed by the medium  Thermal photons: Temperature reached by the medium.  Prompt photons: Test QCD,  -jet events  Jet-Quenching Production perturbed by the medium  Fragmentation photons  Jet-Quenching  Decay photons (neutral mesons)  Observation of hadron suppression  Jet-Quenching Fragmentation  00  Jet Prompt 

Jet-Quenching at  s = 200A GeV Factor 5 hadron suppression! well described by pQCD+partonic energy loss  jets lose energy in dense matter  qL 2 No prompt  suppression! Ratio of particle distributions in p-p and N A -N B collisions

Conesa Balbastre @ ALICE-Italy workshop 6/20 Major physics capabilities of EMCal The EMCal significantly extends the scope of the ALICE experiment for Jet- Quenching and photon measurements in Heavy-Ion Collisions: 1.The EMCal provides a fast, efficient trigger for high p T jets,  (   ), electrons  recorded yields enhanced by factor ~10-60 2.The EMCal markedly improves jet reconstruction through measurement of EM fraction of jet energy 3.The EMCal provides good   discrimination, augmenting ALICE direct photon capabilities at high p T   -jet analysis 4.The EMCal provides good electron/hadron discrimination, augmenting and extending to high p T the ALICE capabilities for heavy quark jet quenching measurements See tomorrow Delia’s and Cythia’s talks for more information about EMCal geometry and PID

Conesa Balbastre @ ALICE-Italy workshop 20/20 Conclusions ALICE+EMCal provides unique capabilities for jet studies at the LHC ALICE+EMCal provides unique capabilities for jet studies at the LHC Trigger enhancement of jet yields Major improvement in jet reconstruction performance ~ unbiased jet measurement over large jet energy range (~200 GeV)  evolution of energy loss excellent tracking at p T ~1 GeV/c  softening of fragmentation, response of the medium to the jet excellent PID: medium modification of jet hadronization (see Cynthia’s talk) EMCal contributes to the study of  at high p T EMCal contributes to the study of  at high p T Efficient separation  /  0 with shower shapes in EMCal up to p T <~ 40 GeV/c (see Cynthia’s talk). For higher energies we need Isolation cut, also used in lower energies to subtract remaining background after shower shape.  -jet/hadron studies feasible  evolution of energy loss from 20 to 45 GeV
