Simultaneous description of jet quenching and asymmetry in heavy-ion ion collisions

ORAL

Abstract

The study of jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions is a top active experimental and theoretical investigation. We apply Bayesian techniques to test simple parameterizations of jet quenching and asymmetry in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC, and experimental measurements of these quantities are used to constrain the mean and rms-width of the energy loss distributions. These parameterizations are also used to study the explore assumptions regarding various forms of correlated errors for each observable. Impacts for future experimental analyses and theoretical models will be discussed.
