喷流碎裂的核修正因子

Nuclear modification factors for jet fragmentation

P. Caucal, E. Iancu, A. H. Mueller, G. Soyez

摘要:

利用最近发展起来的微扰QCD方法研究了稠密夸克-胶子等离子体中喷注的演化,研究了喷注碎裂函数的核修正因子。我们发现的定性行为与LHC中Pb+Pb碰撞的相应实验观察结果一致:在光谱的两端都有明显的核增强。我们的蒙特卡罗模拟补充分析估计澄清的物理解释的结果。理论不确定性的主要来源是我们的计算对模拟禁闭的低动量截止的敏感性。为了降低这种敏感性,我们提出了一个新的观察,它描述了喷射碎片成subjets和红外线和共线安全的建设。我们提出了相关的核修饰因子的Monte Carlo预测及其物理解释。

英文摘要:

Using a recently-developed perturbative-QCD approach for jet evolution in a dense quark-gluon plasma, we study the nuclear modification factor for the jet fragmentation function. The qualitative behaviour that we find is in agreement with the respective experimental observations in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC: a pronounced nuclear enhancement at both ends of the spectrum. Our Monte Carlo simulations are supplemented with analytic estimates which clarify the physical interpretation of the results. The main source of theoretical uncertainty is the sensitivity of our calculations to a low-momentum cutoff which mimics confinement. To reduce this sensitivity, we propose a new observable, which describes the jet fragmentation into subjets and is infrared-and-collinear safe by construction. We present Monte Carlo predictions for the associated nuclear modification factor together with their physical interpretation.
