  2. Outline • Motivation and strategy • Datasets, jet algorithms, correction schemes • Observables • Inclusive jet cross-section + Jet RAA • Jet “radius” systematics • (di-)Hadron-jet recoil spectrum and Jet IAA • Discussion: implications for jet quenching Mateusz Ploskon (LBNL), STAR, QM'09

  3. Motivation and Strategy R Physics of full jet reconstruction in heavy ion collisions Jet R=0.4 Measure energy flow into “cone” of radius R Energy shift? p+p Absorption? p0 Au+Au • Total momentum is conserved even for strongly quenched jets • Unbiased jet reconstruction: recover the full jet energy within • cone radius R • Compare Au+Au and p+p jet spectra • → Inclusive cross section: RAAjet~1 • → p0+jet conditional yield: IAAjet~1 • Caveat: initial state nuclear effects Cross-section ratio AuAu/pp 1 Mateusz Ploskon (LBNL), STAR, QM'09

  4. Data sets Essential requirement: minimize trigger bias of jet population • Inclusive spectrum data: • Au+Au (2007): • online MinBias Trigger • offline select 10% most central events (8 x106events) • p+p (2006): • online “Jet Patch” trigger (intlumi 6.5 pb^-1) • offline correct bias at low ET • h+jet coincidence data: • Both p+p (2006) and Au+Au (2007): • Online “BEMC High Tower” trigger • Offline: hadron trigger energy from 3x3 tower cluster (ET>7 GeV) • Track and Tower cuts: • BEMC towers energy > 0.2 GeV • TPC track momentum pT > 0.2 GeV/c Mateusz Ploskon (LBNL), STAR, QM'09

  5. KT jet anti-kTjet Jet algorithms Anti-kt expected to be less susceptible to background effects in heavy ion collisions Algorithms: kt and anti-kt from FastJet* • Resolution parameter R = 0.4, 0.2 • Jet acceptance: |hJET|< 1.-R • Recombination scheme: E-scheme with massless particles R Sequential recombination algorithms Cone based algorithms Fragmentation Hard scattering *Cacciari, Salam and Soyez, JHEP 0804 (2008) 005 [arXiv:0802.1188] Mateusz Ploskon (LBNL), STAR, QM'09

  6. Systematic corrections Trigger corrections • p+p trigger bias correction Particle level corrections: • Detector effects: efficiency and pT resolution • “Double* counting” of particle energies • * electrons: - double; hadrons: - showering corrections • All towers matched to primary tracks are removed from the analysis Jet level corrections: • Spectrum shift: • Unobserved energy • TPC tracking efficiency • BEMC calibration (dominant uncertainty in p+p) • Jet patch trigger efficiency (only in p+p) • Jet pT resolution • Underlying event (dominant uncertainty in Au+Au) Full assessment of jet energy scale uncertainties Data driven correction scheme • Weak model dependence: only for single-particle response, p+p trigger response • No dependence on quenching models Mateusz Ploskon (LBNL), STAR, QM'09

  8. STAR Preliminary Au+Au Central   Underlying event Single di-jet event from a central Au+Au: - Two jet peaks on top of the HI background Central assumption: Signal and background can be factorized Event background is characterized with median pT per unit area (r). <pTBG> in R = 0.4 is~45 GeV/c. S/B~0.5 at 20 GeV/c. Systematic studies indicate variation of sigma +/-1 is a conservative bracketing of systematic uncertainties. Error bands indicate these limits. with resolution: True jet distribution smeared: sDATA ~ 6.8 GeV Mateusz Ploskon (LBNL), STAR, QM'09
