Decoding QCD Radiation through Jet-Medium Interactions in Heavy-Ion Collisions
Heavy-ion collisions at ultra-relativistic energies recreate conditions akin to the early Universe, leading to the transient formation of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), a hot and dense phase of QCD matter. The brief lifespan of the QGP poses challenges for direct observation, making indirect probing techniques essential. Jets - collimated streams of particles resulting from the fragmentation of high-energy partons - serve as effective probes to study the QGP’s properties across various scales. As these jets traverse the evolving QGP, their interactions with the medium encode crucial information about its time-dependent features.
This seminar will discuss how the unique dynamics of QCD jets provide insights into both the temporal evolution of the QGP and the underlying mechanisms of QCD radiation.
