Resolving Power of Jets
Physics Colloquium
3:30 pm
Nebraska Champions Club
Refreshments served at 3:00
Abstract:
The phase diagram of QCD matter has been studied with ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at have been delivering heavy ion collisions (Pb+Pb) along with reference data of pp and p+Pb collisions since 2010. With its unprecedented reach in energy, LHC explores new regions of the phase diagram of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) that can resolve fundamental questions regarding quark confinement, such as “What determines the key features of QCD?” and “How does the hot QCD respond to jet energy loss?”. At Rutgers, we have performed multiple, complementary jet measurements at LHC using the CMS detector to answer these questions. This talk will present an overview of our experimental results that reveal detailed properties of the hot QCD matter.
Dr. Sevil Salur is an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rutgers. Since earning her Ph.D. at Yale University, she has studied experimental high-energy nuclear physics and investigated the properties of strongly interacting, very hot and dense matter produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island, NY. In the course of her experimental work, Salur explores how matter originally formed.
