Jets are among the key probes of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions at the LHC and RHIC. As the jet cascade evolves in the presence of the underlying medium produced in thes events, the partonic branchings are modified due to re-scattering with the QCD matter. Thus, by comparing these jets to those produced in pp events, one can hope to construct a tomographic picture of the medium and infer the dynamical properties of many-body QCD. Although the QGP phase dominates the evolution in the aftermath of heavy-ion collisions, it is preceded by a shorter-lived but highly energetic out-of-equilibrium state.
Key Topics:
- Bring together the jet quenching and the initial stages communities
- Focus on which observables can be theoretically calculated, experimentally measured
The workshop will start on Monday morning and end on Friday after lunch.
The deadline for requesting financial support to attend the workshop is March 15.
