Jet calculus: A simple algorithm for resolving QCD jets

It is argued that, in the leading logarithm approximation (LLA) of asymptotically free quantum chromodynamics (QCD), a simple algorithm (jet calculus) can be justified for computing a large number of quantities related to the longitudinal and transverse structure of quark and gluon jets.We formulate the rules of jet calculus in two variables, x and y which are related to longitudinal (energy) and transverse momentum respectively. Throughout the paper, quark and gluon jets are contrasted. After reviewing what has been done on longitudinal spectra, we turn to the transverse structure of jets down to relative transverse momenta of the order of a few GeV (independently of the total energy). The relation of our work to that of Dokshitzer, D'Yakonov and Troyan is elucidated. We also study jets generated by (almost) real photons and compare both with standard “final” parton jets.We also discuss calorimeter measured quantities, compare our results with those of other authors and propose a new and easy way for measuring QCD-predictable anomalous dimensions.We finally give a Lagrangian formulation of jet calculus, as a non-local theory in 1 + 1 dimensions to be solved in the tree approximation.     

Utilization of ultrasound to enhance high-speed water jet effects

Continuous high-speed water jets are presently used in many industrial applications such as cutting of various materials, cleaning and removal of surface layers. However, there is still a need for further research to enhance the performance of pure water jets. An obvious method is to generate water jets at ultra-high pressures (currently up to 700 MPa). An alternate approach is to eliminate the need for such high pressures by pulsing of the jet. This follows from the fact that the impact pressure on a target generated by a slug of water is considerably higher than the stagnation pressure of a corresponding continuous jet. Ultrasonically forced modulation of a continuous stream of water represents the most promising method of pulsed jet generation because of its simplicity and practicality. A pulsed jet is generated by modulating a continuous stream of water by ultrasonic waves. A velocity transformer connected to a piezoelectric transducer is located axially inside a nozzle to induce longitudinal pulsations in the water. An extensive laboratory research program is in progress to understand the basic principles of the process and to optimize the nozzle design for several applications. The results reported in this paper show that the performance of such a pulsed jet is far superior to that of a continuous jet operating at the same parameters. Experimental results obtained with the ultrasonic vibration of a tip situated inside the nozzle indicate that using this technique one can achieve performance of the jet even order of magnitude higher in comparison to continuous jet at the same hydraulic parameters. Performance of ultrasonically modulated jets in cutting of various materials was tested in laboratory conditions. In this paper, results of measurement of dynamic pressure in the nozzle and force effects of modulated jets are presented together with results obtained in cutting of various materials using ultrasonically modulated water jets. The results are compared with those obtained with continuous jets at the same operating parameters. Potential of forced modulation of the jet in applications of cleaning, paint and coating removal from surfaces and concrete cutting in the process of repair of concrete structures is mentioned.     

Radial profile of bottom quarks in jets in high-energy nuclear collisions

Angular correlations between a heavy quark(HQ) and its tagged jet are potentially new tools to gain insight into the in-medium partonic interactions in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.In this work,we present the first theoretical study on the radial profiles of B mesons in jets in Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC).The initial production of a bottom quark tagged jet in p+p is computed by SHERPA,which matches the next-toleading order matrix elements with contributions of parton showers,whereas the massive quark traversing the quarkgluon plasma is described by a Monte Carlo model,SHELL,which can simultaneously simulate light and heavy flavor in-medium energy loss within the framework of Langevin evolution.In p+p collisions,we find that at lower p_T~Q the radial profiles of heavy flavors in jets are sensitive to the heavy quark mass.In 0-10% Pb+Pb collisions at S_(NN)~(1/2)=5.02 TeV,we observe an inverse modification pattern of the B meson radial profiles in jets at 4 p_T~Q 20 GeV compared to those of D mesons:the jet quenching effects narrow the jet radial profiles of B mesons in jets while broadening those of D mesons in jets.We find that in A+A collisions,the contribution dissipated from the higher p_T~Q 20 GeV region naturally has a narrower initial distribution and consequently leads to a narrower modification pattern of the radial profile;however the diffusion nature of the heavy flavor in-medium interactions will give rise to a broader modification pattern of the radial profile.These two effects consequently compete and offset with each other,and the b quarks in jets benefit more from the former and suffer less diffusion effect compared to that of c quarks in jets.These findings can be tested in the future experimental measurements at the LHC to gain better understanding of the mass effect of jet quenching.

Measuring the collective flow with jets

In nucleus-nucleus collisions, high-p(T) partons interact with a dense medium, which possesses strong collective flow components. Here, we demonstrate that the resulting medium-induced gluon radiation does not depend solely on the energy density of the medium, but also on the collective flow. Both components can be disentangled by the measurement of particle production associated with high-p(T) trigger particles, jetlike correlations, and jets. In particular, we show that flow effects lead to a characteristic breaking of the rotational symmetry of the average jet energy and jet multiplicity distribution in the eta x phi plane. We argue that data on the medium-induced broadening of jetlike particle correlations in Au + Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider may provide evidence for a significant distortion of parton fragmentation due to the longitudinal collective flow.

Minimal flavour violation and beyond

The presence of new sources of massive boosted particles associated with processes probing the electroweak scale is a logical possibility that forms a solid window towards physics beyond the standard model. Such objects when decaying into hadronic final states can easily blend with the cornucopia of jets interpolated from essentially massless fundamental QCD states. We review jet observables and algorithms that can contribute to the identification of highly boosted heavy jets and the possible searches that can make use of such substructure information. We also review previous studies by CDF of boosted massive jets and measurement of jet shape observables.     

Identification and rejection of fake reconstructed jets from a fluctuating heavy ion background in ATLAS

Full jet reconstruction in relativistic heavy ion collisions provides new and unique insights to the physics of parton energy loss. Because of the large underlying event multiplicity in A+A collisions, random and correlated fluctuations in the background can result in the reconstruction of fake jets. These fake jets must be identified and rejected to obtain the purest jet sample possible. A large but reducible fake rate of jets reconstructed using an iterative cone algorithm on HIJING events is observed. The absolute rate of fake jets exceeds the binary-scaled p+p jet rate below 50 GeV and is not negligible until 100 GeV. The variable Σj _T , the sum of the jet constituent’s E _T perpendicular to the jet axis, is introduced to identify and reject fake jets at by a factor of 100 making it negligible. This variable is shown to not strongly depend on jet energy profiles modified by energy loss. By studying azimuthal correlations of reconstructed di-jets, the fake jet rate can be evaluated in data. All results presented use modified versions of ATLAS software and should be considered “ATLAS preliminary”.

A study of Mach shocks generated by fast partonic jets propagating through the quark-gluon plasma(QGP)is reviewed briefly.We predict a significant deformation of Mach shocks in central Au Au collisions at RHIC and LHC energies compared to those created by a jet propagation through a static medium. Moreover,a new hydrodynamical study of jet energy loss is presented.     

Comparative visualized investigation of impact-driven high-speed liquid jets injected in submerged water and in ambient air

This paper is a comparative study on the characteristics of high-speed liquid jets injected in surrounding water and air using shadowgraph technique. One of the main objectives is to investigate the effects of liquid’s physical properties, used to generate the high-speed liquid jets, on jet generation’s characteristics. Moreover, comparative investigations on effects of those liquid jets after injected in water and air are reported. The high-speed liquid jets were generated by the impact of a projectile launched by a horizontal single-stage power gun. The impact-driven high-speed liquid jets were visualized by shadowgraph technique and images were recorded by a high-speed digital video camera. The process of impact-driven high-speed liquid jet injection in air and water, oblique shock waves, jet-induced shock waves, shock waves propagation, the bubble behavior, bubble collapse-induced rebound shock waves and bubble cloud regeneration were clearly observed. It was found that different properties of liquid (surface tension and kinematic viscosity) affect the jet maximum velocity and shape of the jet. Bubble behaviors were only found for the jet injected in water. From the shadowgraph images, it is found that the maximum average jet velocity, expansion and contraction velocities of bubble in axial direction increase when the value of the multiplied result of surface tension by kinematic viscosity increases. Therefore, surface tension and kinematic viscosity are the significant physical properties that affect characteristics of high-speed liquid jets.     

Measuring transverse spin correlations by 4-particle correlations ine + e − → 2 jets

The azimuthal distribution of pairs of particles in a jet is sensitive to the transverse polarization of the quark initiating the jet, but with a sensitivity that involves a nonperturbative analyzing power. We show in detail how to measure the analyzing power from 4-hadron correlations ine ⁺ e ^?→2 jets. We explain the combinations of particle flavor that are likely to give the biggest effect.     

Exploiting non-leptonic decays in top searches

We show that a massive use of statistical event correlations, learned by means of Monte Carlo event generators, makes it feasible to employ a pure jet signature in top quark searches. A relevant ingredient for that is also the less diffuse angular distribution of energy deposition and of particles in top events, which are dominated by quark jets. On the other, hand, we show that the utilization of mass cuts on jet combinations to identify top non-leptonic decays meets severe limitations already at the parton level, largely because of QCD radiation.

Jet charge in high-energy nuclear collisions

The averaged jet charge characterizes the electric charge of the initiating parton and provides a powerful tool to distinguish quark jets from gluon jets.We predict,for the first time,the medium modification of the averaged jet charge in the heavy-ion collisions at the LHC,where jet productions in p+p collisions are simulated by PYTHIA6,and the parton energy loss in QGP is calculated with two Monte Carlo models of jet quenching:PYQUEN and JEWEL.We found that the distribution of averaged jet charge is significantly suppressed by initial state isospin effects due to the participation of neutrons with zero electric charge during nuclear collisions.The considerable enhancement of the averaged jet charge in central Pb+Pb collisions is observed relative to peripheral collisions,since the jet quenching effect is more pronounced in central collisions.The distinct feature of the averaged jet charge between quark and gluon jets,along with the sensitivity of medium modifications on the jet charge to flavor dependence of the parton energy loss,could be very useful to discriminate the energy loss pattern between quark and gluon jets in heavy-ion collisions.

Opposite-side angular correlation of high-pT particles as a probe of gluons

Opposite-side angular distributions of high-p_T particles in the jet trigger experiments are studied in the lowest-order QCD. Gluon jets play a crucial role in understanding correlations between two high-p_T jets. The angular distribution of the positive-to-negative particle ratio and that of charmed particles can be good probes of the gluon density inside a nucleon.
