Abstract:
Measurements of jet substructure observables in heavy-ion (HI) collisions provide powerful constraints on the microscopic mechanisms of interactions between energetic partons and the quark--gluon plasma (QGP). Although there has been remarkable progress in measuring inclusive jet substructure, a complete understanding of identified particle production inside jets (jet hadrochemistry) and its modif…

Measurements of jet substructure observables in heavy-ion (HI) collisions provide powerful constraints on the microscopic mechanisms of interactions between energetic partons and the quark--gluon plasma (QGP). Although there has been remarkable progress in measuring inclusive jet substructure, a complete understanding of identified particle production inside jets (jet hadrochemistry) and its modification in HI collisions remains elusive. Jet quenching models predict that the jet hadrochemical composition is modified in the QGP, arising from both jet-medium interactions and altered particle production in the jet wake. Measurements of jet hadrochemistry can help discriminate between proposed jet-medium interaction mechanisms. Enabled by the excellent particle identification (PID) capabilities of ALICE, we present the first measurements of $π$, K, and p ratios within jets and the underlying event as a function of particle transverse momentum in pp and Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV. These measurements provide insight into soft particle production mechanisms and helps distinguish various jet quenching effects.

Probing jet hadrochemistry in Pb--Pb collisions with ALICE
Authors:
Sierra Cantway
Abstract:
Jet substructure measurements in heavy-ion collisions provide constraints on jet quenching and the medium response in the QGP. Though there has been remarkable progress in inclusive-charged-hadron jet substructure measurements, understanding the identified particle composition of jets and their modification in heavy-ion collisions has proven challenging. Jet quenching models predict that the jet h…

Jet substructure measurements in heavy-ion collisions provide constraints on jet quenching and the medium response in the QGP. Though there has been remarkable progress in inclusive-charged-hadron jet substructure measurements, understanding the identified particle composition of jets and their modification in heavy-ion collisions has proven challenging. Jet quenching models predict that the jet hadrochemical composition may be modified in heavy-ion collisions due to jet-medium interactions, as well as the medium response. Measurements of identified particles in jets can help discriminate between various parton-QGP interactions. We present the first measurements of $π$, K, and p ratios within charged-particle-jets, as well as in the underlying event, as a function of particle transverse momentum in pp and Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV. These measurements leverage the excellent PID capabilities of ALICE over a wide transverse momentum range. These results aim to understand soft particle production mechanisms and distinguish modified jet fragmentation from bulk effects.
