Comparative multi-probe study of jet energy-loss in QGP
Abstract
Jet-energy loss is an important sign of the creation of Quark-Gluon Plasma in heavy-ion collisions. High transverse momentum (pT) partons are produced at the moment of initial hard scattering and are modified as a result of their propagation through the created medium. We study two models of low-virtuality radiative energy loss: CUJET and MARTINI. This is done using the JETSCAPE framework, which allows for an objective comparison. CUJET is integrated into the JETSCAPE workflow, and full jet simulations, including substructure observables, are computed for the first time using leading-order DGLV rates. Strongly-interacting probes (charged hadrons, jets, jet fragmentation functions and jet shape ratio) are considered along jet-medium photons for the first time in a dynamic QGP. We find that these photons make a significant contribution in the phenomenologically interesting intermediate pT domain of 4-12 GeV.
